I just tried to buy that but all the 'add to cart' button seems to do is take me to Paypal, and when I log in it just leaves me at my account overview page...

I thought this thread's title was a statement: a warning or a cry for help.

Mick, I will check into the problem. Perhaps that's why the orders haven't been flooding in!

Just got word that Biddles printed the book over the weekend. Should arrive to us by the end of the week and I will start mailing out review, C.C.s and preorders over the weekend.

Big thanks to Gary McMahon for his support and brilliant story which opens the anthology.

My personal real-time reading of the Dark Minds Anthology as a vision of the
death process as seen by those dying, in all forms of Horror fiction:
traditional, Ligottian, literary, 'Vault-of-Evil' etc


http://nullimmortalis.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/dark-minds-including-an-original- story-by-gary-mcmahon/


McMahon's Rain is a symbol for the death process as witnessed by those dying. When does the witnessing cease and the nothingness begin, though?

So am I. But I definitely am upset at not being mentioned. Put it this way, you won't be getting any more posts from Ross any more. Not now he's been nailed to a tree.

If anyone would like to reserve a copy of Darker Minds for Fantasycon let me know on here so I know how many to bring. Special Fantasycon price is £8 and you might even run into the odd contributor...or even the very odd ones.
