Robert Shearman's "It Flows From the Mourh" was an experience akin to reading Robert Aickman: beneath a literary veneer of utter beauty runs a pulse of subtle disquiet.

My first Michael Wehunt story will certainly not be my last. Its carnivorous kaleidoscope of a narrative was a little hard to follow at times, but it left me with a shiver nevertheless.

Eric Schaller's "To Assume the Writer's Crown" is a far cry from what you may expect. This isn't merely some opening nonfiction piece about how an author thinks fiction should be written - it is as infused with creepy imagery as it is with inspirational advice.
