That's a nice lineup of writers you have for this anthology.

Guy Adams was chairman of the recent, very successful FantasyCon in Nottingham, where I had a chance to meet him face to face at last (while chairman of the BFS it was Guy who offered me the job as editor of Prism, the society's newsletter).

Thanks - we're really pleased with the writers who agreed to do us a story - and everyone has turned in fantastic, creepy stories, to boot!

This was one of my top five reads of 2010, as I listed at www.richardwright.org/2010/12/top-five-books-2010 and on Goodreads. To save you the trip, I said...

As you'd expect from a writer whose own fiction often falls into the spooky genre, I'm a lifelong lover of horror stories, and keep current in my reading. Perhaps that's why this book was such a delight. It features exactly none of the authors whose short stories I normally find in horror anthologies. Those authors I do know, I recognise from their non-horror work, and their individual takes on the classic ghost story were therefore something of a voyage of discovery. An additional surprise was the sense of fun between these pages. I'm so used to horror stories that hang their serious intent out for all to see that I'd all but forgotten that it's possible to write a story that's both atmospheric, and bloody amusing. This (beautifully produced) little hardback was a delight, and if you've any urge at all to delve into a book of spooky yarns, I suggest you make it this one.

Well it certainly had its moments.

If anyone wants a copy for nowt more than a refund of the postage, send me a message...
