Edited by Craig Bezant, the ghostly Issue 10 is dedicated to all those things that go bump in the night. With more than 100 pages of fiction, art, interviews, book releases, comics, and more, we guarantee you'll be left feeling haunted long after you've read the final page.
Crime writer Craig Bezant hails from Perth, Western Australia. He is the author of the Henry Herbert crime series, and the children’s adventure novel, The Flats. His short fiction has also appeared in numerous magazines and online publications.
Craig created and edited the award-nominated Eclecticism E-zine before co-founding Dark Prints Press (2010-14). Since then, he has edited and published the work of over 100 of the world's best crime and horror authors, including Lawrence Block, Chris Simms, Jonathan Maberry, Joseph D'Lacey, Angela Slatter, Gary A. Braunbeck, Alan Baxter, and Stephen M Irwin.
Craig won the 2012 Australian Shadows Award for Best Edited Publication (Surviving the End), was guest editor for Midnight Echo #10 (AHWA), was an Associate Editor for HorrorScope and a judge for the 2009, 2010 and 2023 Australian Shadows Awards.
Craig loves reading (when he's not writing), Lego, basketball, video games, typewriters and tattoos. Of course, his family is everything (they didn't make him say that, honest).
So many good stories in this issue – but my absolute favourite was Martin Living's "Stillegeist". It gripped me from beginning to end, and finished off with a bang. A perfect story.
Naturally the last story in the issue is pretty good too ;)
(Disclaimer - I have a story in this publication!)
Another excellent issue of Midnight Echo. Not every story worked for me personally, but the writing was impossible to fault. My favourite story in the issue was "Crybaby Bridge #25" by Gary Braunbeck. Proud to have been amongst these stories, in probably the last print edition of the magazine. Good stuff!
