Every two weeks I preach a sermon at a spooky old church. It sits on the very edge of a windswept cliff, overlooking the mysterious fishing town of Creepy Cove. Like most churches last year, the pandemic prompted us to start broadcasting our services. We share ours via a free podcast.
Ten months later, Creepy Cove Community Church services have been downloaded over 10,000 times but not by locals. Every single one of these listeners are from out of town. How do I know that? Because Creepy Cove doesn’t exist. And yet the services (and those listening to them) really do.
Let me explain.
My name is Peter Laws and I’m an ordained church minister who left the pastorate ten years ago to write. Since then, I’ve had five books out, all released by secular, high-street publishers rather than Christian presses. That’s four scary novels and a globe-trotting non-fiction book which explains (and defends) why human culture has a morbid streak.
