Earlier this year, The Horror Zine released a great anthology called A Feast of Frights. The book features poetry, fiction, art and interviews, as well as a great introduction by legend Ramsey Campbell. The editor, Jeani Rector has compiled so great talent of establish writers and those on the rise. The book features my story, The Soldier, as well as stories by Joe R. Lansdale, Tom Piccirilli, Graham Masterton, Susie Moloney, Simon Clark, Ed Gorman, Joe McKinney, Christian Larsen and so many more. It was such an honour to be in the book and even more to be mention in the review by The British Fantasy Society. If you want to read what they said, here is the link:

Jeani is also currently puting together the next Horror Zine anthology which will have my story, Red Velvet in it. It's going to be packed again with great stories.

So, I had planned to release my new collection of short stories called Dark Reaches in December of this year, but I have decided to put it on hold until at least spring of next year. Is this a bad thing? Not at all. The reason for this is that I have sold three stories that were supposed to appear in there and have three more sales pending. With a possibility of six stories gone, that creates an issue for the book.
So why spring?
I am currently writing three new stories and have more than five that will be available to reprint. I will also be able to add The Old Man to this one. This was the story that was going to appear in Fresh Grounds, but as Wicked East Press now seems all but defunct, I will use it in Dark Reaches.
So what is currently still a go in the ToC? Here is a list of what will be in there for sure:
The Soldier
Dreams of a Dead Man
The Undergarment Eater
Miriam
The Cleansing
Mr. Stand
Family Lessons
Give Me Convenience
Angel in the High Tower
Taut
Body Bag
Red Velvet
Shelly's Tape
The Old Man
More will be added and when it is, I will add an update.
