Johnny Mains posted this on Friendface, asking if anyone knew about it. britishhorrorsociety.co.uk/Certainly new to me. Who's behind it? And why are they charging for a competition to design their own logo?

Someone called Thomas Smith is behind it. I only found out when he posted on the Facebook page of British Horror Novels. Here we go:
Adrian Chamberlin Who IS the society, Thomas? Who makes up your committee, do you have some big names in the British horror field? And why are you charging competition entrants for the chance to design your own logo? 43 minutes ago · LikeUnlike
Thomas Smith It is a well known fact that everything starts small, it is also a well known fact that there is no official British Horror Society, so yes this is a work in progress, so watch this space. 38 minutes ago · LikeUnlike
Adrian Chamberlin I'm well aware that everything starts small - little acorns and mighty oaks, etcetera. But you've not answered my questions. A work in progress is one thing - charging people to become a part of that work in progress is something else. 'Watching this space' isn't good enough. Who are you, and what do you have to offer the British horror industry that the British Fantasy Society can't already supply? 30 minutes ago · LikeUnlike
Thomas Smith What can we offer that the British Fantasy society can't, well first of all we are more genre specific to horror and secondly we are going to be setting up events all around the country that are very Horror specific. 24 minutes ago · LikeUnlike
Adrian Chamberlin Very commendable. But surely you can be a bit more open about yourselves? Again, I must ask: who are you as a society? Who is on the committee? 13 minutes ago · LikeUnlike
Thomas Smith At the moment there is just the two of us, myself and a guy called Raine evans but like I said everything starts small and as we expand so will the commitee and so will our reputation, I am already working on lining up some reasonably big interviews but will not reveal any details till they are confirmed.
At this point I gave up.

I'm not clicking that site again -- it crashes my browser (Google Chrome) every time, and it's trying to open up some kind of "chat" window.

Hmm. Now they're claiming that Worcester is the horror capital of the UK.
No need for that statue of Elgar anymore, then...

Thanks for the book plug Mr. Thomas Smith but the site STILL crashes my browser, very off putting. I thought Worcester only made the sauce. Well, you live and learn.
