Shadows and Tall Trees - Issue 3



Just received a copy of the latest issue of this superb little publication from Undertow Books. The editor, Michael Kelly, is creating something quite special here, I feel. Expertly produced and presented, an example of what a horror publication of this type should 'feel' like when you pull it out of the envelope. Another great selection of tight, quiet horror stories in this issue, stories that unsettle and cause the reader to think beyond the parameters of the ordinary. Issue 2 contained a story 'Back Amongst the Shy Trees' by Steve Rasnic Tem that any writer of horror ought to aspire to.

Dreams of Duality - Red Skies Press

My story 'The Grey Place' is featured in this anthology from Red Skies Press. I wrote the story a while ago so am really pleased to see it finally find a home. It's funny how stories do that, linger for a while until some editor somewhere takes a liking to them...


I have to say I preferred the original cover with the cats but the editor opted for this one instead. Still impressive and I think I understand why...

I've just received news of another short story acceptance, one I have to keep under my hat for a while but one I am very, very pleased with.
