[Marcus Speh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve so enjoyed being a part of this amazing first year at Atticus Review: as a new weekly online magazine, the quality turned out every week (!) by the authors chosen by editor Katrina Gray was astounding. Each issue included a detailed editorial by Ms Gray written like the best non-fiction piece. No wonder, because Atticus Books, the mother ship of the Review, with Dan Cafaro at the helm, is one of the finest small presses around.

I am very pleased to have been included in this anthology with "BEFORE THE BLOODBATH". This story was originally written with photo by Le Gall ("Ireland") as a prompt and developed a life of its own. The title is perhaps where the action is in this extremely short piece. I later developed the "plot" suggested here into a text of novella size (still unfinished, let it mature for a few years now).

Enjoy the book!
