Download Horror Reanimated 1:Echoes
As the post says, if you go to Horror Reanimated, the blog I run with Joseph D’Lacey and Bill Hussey, you can download a PDF version of the limited edition chapbook we gave away at our readings earlier in the year.
Speculative Fiction Junkie has written a little piece and seems to like it; as does Sharon Ring, who gave it a great review over on Science Fiction and Fantasy Enthusiasts, and Highlander’s Book Reviews.
Let us know what you think!
Horror Reanimated: Echoes
Joseph D’Lacey, Bill Hussey and I are giving away an illustrated chapbook to those who attend our evening readings on May 6th and May 7th at the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green and Borders Oxford Street in London respectively.
The chapbook will hopefully be the first of several and we hope it’ll prove to be a nice little collector’s item in the future, when our careers reach heady heights, ahem…
I thought it would be nice to share the cover, which was designed by Lee Casey, and contents with you as a teaser.
Horror Reanimated 1: Echoes contains 3 pieces of fiction totalling 25,000 words; one from each of us:
- Joseph D’Lacey’s Rhiannon’s Reach – the victim of a diving accident conquers his fear of the water
- Bill Hussey’s A Room Thus Stained – a Victorian vigilante loses himself in the streets of Whitechapel
- Mathew F. Riley’s Part of the Landscape – a disenchanted worker is drawn from the everyday into an underworld of memories which form the fabric and structure of London
The night on May 7th at Borders kicks off at 6.45pm and then we’re all off to the pub – upstairs at The White Horse on Newburgh Street for around 8.30pm. A customer review on Beer In The Evening states: “Great sausages, great red wine. I’m happy.” Can’t say fairer than that I guess, and hopefully they’ll be selling some nice ales too.
It’d be good to see you there.
These two nights in London kick off The Horror Reanimated Tour – more information here.
Welcome to The Great White Space
Well, hello there. So now that I’ve finally got some bits and pieces sneaking out into the real-world, (from the twilight world of acceptances), I’m setting up this place. It’s named after one of my favourite novels written by one of my favourite authors, Basil Copper. The Great White Space may also be an appropriate title if I get lazy, sell nothing else, or simply have nothing of interest to say.
Please check out the Stories page where you can find details of my published writing.
I have no intention of making The Great White Space a daily destination as, for me, (at least at the moment), the writing and publication of said writing doesn’t progress quickly enough to warrant daily updates. However, placing some news and stories, a few book and film reviews, as well as some other snippets of genre-related news here and there might hopefully make this a place of interest, and somewhere to return now and then.
