As it's already been announced elsewhere, and my name seems to have sneaked onto the cover (probably holding a place for a proper genre luminary), I guess it's OK to mention here that both myself and Mr. Strantzas will appear again in this year's Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, alongside our esteemed landlord.

My story is "Through the Cracks" from How to Make Monsters.

Thrilled? Hell, yes.

Congrats to you, Simon, and Ramsey. I like the artwork. Kudos for making the cover, as well, mate.

Well done, chunky and chalky.

Parky's finished. He'll have to settle for the Graham Norton show.

Congratulations, both of you!

Zed, I've never had my name on the front cover. Not that I'm jealous. [Pauses to chew off own leg.] Great choice of story, too!

I'm assuming that my name is there as a holding pattern until a proper genre luminary signs his or her contract...

If they really want to sdcare away potential buyers, they'll put a photo of me on the cover.

Even for the cover of a horror book, some images are just too much...

Well done BTW

Btw, Joel, the last paragraph of that story is a (clumsy?) tribute to your work...

...and my work (including the writing, both on paper and on the hillsides) is a tribute to Yog-Sothoth. It's all falling into place. I wonder how the Earth will look in October with all the humans cleared off it?

Congrats! :-)

October is an optimistic estimation.

They should put that NY pic of Zed on the cover- from Mulburry- and then photoshop him with a hammer and a huge tasch. Congrats again.
