New Horror Anthology has Launched!
Autumn is here! Halloween has passed, unfortunately! The weather is pretty sweet, overall! I've gotten out to walk most days to get away from the computer screen and get a little exercise while enjoying mostly clear skies and full moons while keeping an eye on Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter.
Otherwise, I've been chained to the desk working on Beagle Mountain Press's new chilling anthology Island Terrors & Sea Horrors (ITSH). The title is pretty self-explanatory. The 300-page anthology features 36 short stories & poems plus 24 illustrations & photographs, some in color.
ITSH includes several works from Edgar Allan Poe. Other authors include H.G. Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson, H.P. Lovecraft, William Shakespeare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Washington Irving, Larry Atchley Jr., myself, and more.
The monstrous cover illustration is by David J. Martinez. Interior art and photos are from Doré, W.J. Orr, Ian Keattch, Winslow Homer, Edvard Munch, to name a few.
Collecting and editing the anthology required a tremendous amount of research and many long hours, but it's complete and looks gorgeous. Currently, the book is available through Amazon for Kindle, but will soon be available in print. More than likely, by this time next week. It will make a great gift for one's self or someone you know who loves classic horror and needs something to tide them over when they don't want to get out into the holiday shopping crowds.
Meanwhile, and despite the pandemic, I will be one of the authors appearing at Chapters on Main this coming Saturday. See the details here. I will have an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of ITSH available for perusal. I'll have five other titles available for sale at the store. If you've never been there, it's across from the train depot in old downtown Van Buren.
If it weren't for promoting the new book, I probably would've passed on the event. I'll be there from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. wearing a mask. I hope you'll come to visit and be wearing a mask, as well.
Next up is getting back to working on the second Weird Tales Investigators novella and the novel-length origin of The Savage Cat .
The Weird Tales Investigators #2 is a Bigfoot story. It should be available by early 2021.
The Savage Cat will be out hopefully sometime around the end of spring or beginning of summer.
With any luck, the pandemic will be over, and we can get back to conventions next year, but I have serious doubts. As an author, I'm fine with the solitude and locking myself away. As a publisher, promotion sometimes requires getting out and doing things such as signing events. I'll keep my fingers crossed, my mask on, and my hand sanitizer handy. Until next time...
