A boxing coach and amateur actor has written a horror novel.
Robert Bennett, from Sutton, has a passion for horror - 13 of his books are in the genre - and now has 15 books available on Kindle.
Author Robert Bennett
His latest book Carnivoboarous took inspiration from his recent stay in India where he spent 16 months to spend time with his wife who is a teacher there.
From the moment Bennett gets the idea for a book to its completion takes him about two to three months.
He says: "I love writing about horror. When I was a kid I used to love watching all the old horror films.
"It is about a giant pig called Carnivoboarous and set on a river in a small town called Latur in India.
"A paper mill has been letting toxic waste into the river so it gives birth to this mutant boar which grows huge - to the size of a large cow.
"Basically there are two men trying to track it down. I would definitely recommend it for adults because some parts are quite gory.
"In Latur there’s not much there - there’s lots of waste on the floor and you see lots of wild pigs.
"It just entered my head - what if one of these pigs grew large? They can be dangerous if they have piglets. They have got four huge tusks."
He has also written a book about being a supporting actor in British films including Cockneys vs Zombies and The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Hooligan.
