I've been unforgivably slow in giving a response on "The Second Black Book" and I can only apologise to Charles for my rudeness in not getting back to him before now and letting him know what a fantastic collection he's put together... again. It appears that whoever has been scripting my life up until recently has been sacked and a psycho has taken over the writing duties over the past few months, as it's all been drama, excitement and, quite frankly, pretty far-fetched goings on around here of late. Most of it pretty enjoyable, I must admit.
Still, as I seem to have a lull in the insanity, I wanted to say that I'm extremely proud to have a place in such a strong collection. I'm loath to single out favourites, as there isn't a weak story in the book and everything had something to offer. However, that said, I'd really enjoyed Steve Goodwin's "The Cold Harvest" when I read it online here under its original title and it certainly bore re-reading; the endings of both David A. Sutton's "Amygdala" and John L. Probert's "In Sckness And..." will stay with me for a long time; and Rog Pile's "The Pit" manages to be touching and extremely nasty at the same time, with some particularly effective understated hints about the narrator.
Also, I must say, many, many thanks for the very kind words about "The Crimson Picture", Rog. I'm glad it made an impression. I'm also grateful to yourself and Charles for some very constructive criticism during the editing stage. I'm almost done reworking it as a radio script for "Imagination Theater".
So, another resounding success and another book I'm proud to have on my shelves. I'm already looking forward to "The Third Black Book of Horror".

I'm glad you enjoyed the story again, and I'm glad you've been able to enjoy all your drama, excitement and far-fetched goings on.
All the best for your radio script.

I've been accused of a lot of things during my lifetime, having taste is not one of them

Well crafted review Coral. I liked 'salacious piquancy' and 'reupholstered'.

Ooooh, John, you DO have a way with words *sigh*
And I never met a story of yours I didn't like!

Coral that's very kind of you.
Hopefully there should be quite a few more coming out soon.
