Always a pleasure, Weird Horror is a treat that I impatiently look forward to twice a year. Michael does a fantastic job of picking up and making these great short stories available. The authors and the works in each issue are definitely worth your time.
Awesome as always.

This was the first issue of Weird Horror I have read, and it was a disappointment. I only enjoyed reading one of the ten stories- “Spectre with a Glass Face” by Rick Kennett, a story about a house haunted by a gnome or leprechaun type thing. It was pretty effective, scary- it got under my skin. The rest of the stories just did not work for me for pretty much the same reason. They all lacked a narrative arch. They seemed to begin and end and not bring you anywhere. Based on the issue's introductory essay I gather that this magazine may favor Weird Horror stories that can be described as avant-garde fiction. There is nothing wrong with avant-garde fiction, but I do not enjoy it. I like a story. I like characters I can understand. So maybe there lies the problem.
Anyway, I will probably dip into other issues of this magazine. It is well produced and shows a serious commitment.

Great collection of horror short stories and articles, with enough variety to enjoy an even wider sample of what's going on in current horror stories; Love them all!
