Beachy Head 1

Beachy Head in Southern England is a gorgeous chalk headland famous for its height (at 531 feet it’s England’s tallest chalk sea cliff) and beauty. The cliffs are also famous for being formed during the Ice Age from materials created during the Late Cretaceous period.

Beachy Head is also notoriously the number one suicide spot in England and one of the top locations for suicide in the world, often being cited as the third most popular spot.

About spikemarlowe

Spike Marlowe and her Siamese twin sister were born to academics in Provo, Utah during the region’s speculative fiction renaissance. Since her teenage years, when Spike’s parents and sister entered the Federal Witness Protection Program--which necessitated the surgical separation of Spike from her sister (if you buy her a couple drinks and ask nicely, Spike may show you the scars)--she has held a variety of odd jobs, including a performer in a wild west show, detective, Bigfoot researcher and writer for an Internet content farm. Recently she found her calling as a Bizarro author. When she’s not writing fiction she works as a street busker in San Francisco. At night she fights crime. Her first novel, Placenta of Love, will be released by Eraserhead Press in November 2011.
