Thank you Simon, hope all is well with you, too.

Bit of a tangent, but I really like the site/zine, it's quite detailed and professional. Have you ever considered doing a writing contest?

These are common in the screenplay world, but I feel like horror needs one (? - are there any?). The kind where you pay a fee to enter, could be pro or amateur both allowed - because you enter a manuscript sans personal information, so no one knows who's written what. An initial round of judges winnows down the pile to a set of finalists, that's then judged by a select panel of luminaries in the field. The winners could be published in a book, etc.

Does this already exist out there somewhere? If not... why not?

I think there are such contests, yes, although I can't remember whether This Is Horror has done any of them itself! But yeah, they do a great job - I think they're one of the best horror sites in the UK.

I feel like such contests, Simon, would be a way of sifting through the huge amounts of material out there, discovering real gems of both author and content... frankly making it easier for picky and unsure readers like myself....

Hey, I thought everybody had migrated to facebook, but here (many of) you still are!

Simon, I apologize profusely for appearing to hijack your thread but I've totally forgotten how to start one and figured that seeing as you're married to a scouser you might forgive me! Also, it's about the landlord so ...

Back in 2008 I wrote an intro to the lovely-albeit-pricey anniversary edition of THE INFLUENCE from Centipede Press and I've just reprinted it at my blog and thought the RCMB crowd might be interested. Here's the link:

Hope everyone's well!
