A few words on the anthology from J.T.Glover..

'Two short, claustrophobic pieces that rely very much on their narrators’ interior experience of the horrors of the carnivorous cosmos are Allyson Bird’s “The Golden Stars at Night” and Michael Cisco’s “Learn to Kill.” Allyson’s story focuses on a young archer, a storm, and a looming sense of dread. Laird’s protagonists generally get some spark of knowledge about what consumes their lives before it does, but it’s unclear whether Allyson’s does, and the onrushing sense of dread perfectly characterizes what an unknowing person might find before Old Leech’s servitors and handmaidens come crawling along. “Learn to Kill” comes from the perspective of someone most definitely not intended to survive his encounter with Old Leech, and I can honestly say that I don’t understand everything that happens to him, but I understand his experience of it, which Michael depicts with verve that smack to me as much of the pinnacles of Modernism as anything else.'

I must get round to reading that collection you sent, Lincoln. Still hopelessly hooked on the horror anthos these days. Best New Horror 4 is a corker. Really enjoying it.
