The imagination is crucial to an understanding both of human diversity and of common ground. Weird fiction is often stigmatised as a reactionary and ignorant genre - we know better. The anthology will be published by Gray Friar Press in September 2010, and edited by Allyson Bird and Joel Lane.
It will be a mixture of original stories and reprints from Ramsey Campbell, Lisa Tuttle and Joe R. Lansdale amongst others. Never Again is a non-profit initiative aimed at promoting awareness of these issues among readers and writers of weird fiction. The editors, authors/artist and publisher will receive no fees for this work. Any profits made from sales will be donated to anti-racist or human rights organizations, e.g. The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

With a contributors list boasting Joe R. Lansdale, Lisa Tuttle, Ramsey Campbell, Stephen Volk, David Sutton, Tony Richards, Stephen Duffy, exciting newcomer Thana Niveau & Co., Never Again promises to deliver a rock solid and, doubtless, often discomfiting read. For starters, the three reprints i know of - Joe R. Lansdale's spectacularly unpleasant Night They Missed The Horror Show, Lisa Tuttle's In The Arcade (by my understanding, Westworld for White Supremacists: "That's the way the Man solves the n*gger problem" he'd said cheerfully. "He just puts 'em all to sleep, like dogs with rabies.") and Ramsey Campbell's The Depths - are each of them top notch proper HORROR STORIES. Leaving aside the controversies and mud-slinging (like some of us didn't have enough of that nonsense last year), my one misgiving is that title, but i don't suppose it matters. Judging by comments made on these threads in the wake of Sophie Lancaster's murder - Goth! and Goth attackers appeal - this is surely a project some Vault regulars would wish to support.
