This might be of interest here...a new imprint producing high-quality (and very affordable) single-story chapbooks of supernatural fiction is releasing my story What They Hear in the Dark as it's inaugural publication:

But you can buy a copy...

You might like this one, Tony - it's a moody, aching piece, about grief, family and perception.

Here's a wee synopsis:

An absence is more terrifying than a presence…

Rob and Becky bought the old place after the death of their son, to repair and renovate – to patch things up and make the building habitable.

They both knew that they were trying to fix more than the house, but the cracks in their marriage could not be papered over.

Then they found the Quiet Room.”

“Gary McMahon’s horror is heartfelt…” –Tim Lebbon

Just a heads-up: there's aren't many copies of this left, so if you'd like one please contact Simon at Spectral Press.

Hi All

Just to let everyone know that, as well as it's rather fine chapbooks, Spectral Press will be publishing a collection of my stories as part of its new line, the Spectral Signature Editions - due 2013!

I've blogged about it here:

We might even be out of recession by then.

Good news and congrats to Simon, and of course, Simon. I have subscription so will be receiving (and reviewing) "Cold Havens" when it appears.

They're also bringing out my own "Soul Masque" next year, or possibly the year after. I'm as chuffed as nuts.

Cheers
Terry

"Angels of the Silences" - remind me. Did I promise to buy it to read, enjoy and then review? If so, my sincere apologies because I will attend to my lapse straight away.

Regards

Spectral Press seem to be doing a great job. Are they relatively new? Let's hope they keep it up - a great line-up of authors so far.

Congrats to all concerned!

It's a super story Gary. Don't want to give too much away, but there are definite Campbellian influences in there I'd say. Most enjoyable - thanks!

Thanks, Caroline!

Saying my stuff has Campbellian elements is like saying marmalade tastes a bit like oranges. :-)
