The Horror Fields: The Morpheus Tales Rural Horror Special Issue, edited by Matt Leyshon. Featuring: Untouchable By Rosalie Parker, Figures in a Landscape By John Coulthart, Bluehill Gang By Don Webb, Where the Marshes Meet the Sea By Edward Pearce, Live Bait Works Best By Murphy Edwards and Brian Rosenberger, Across the Water By James Everington, Bus Routes Through the Sticks By Richard Farren Barber, The Rocking Stone By Ian Hunter, A Remembrance of the Strange By Justin Aryiku, Stale Air By Rhys Hughes. You will never look at an empty field with such terror.
A coda with codes, ‘Stale Air’ is not a silly story as the story itself claims. ‘Inspiring’ is a word I just used above about this magazine’s gestalt. That word is also related to breathing. Lovecraft’s Cool Air. Or the head-banging heat on Barber’s bus. Air touches all parts of the body, inside and out. A great ‘collefiction’.
The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here. Above is one of its observations at the time of the review.
