Karōshi Books (2012)Neil Williams Foreword - Michel Parry Introduction - Editor Glory and Splendour The Judge Deep Stitches Hitting Targets Life Beggar The Lotus Device From Michel's foreword: Alex Miles came to weird fiction via a slightly different route. A voracious reader from about the age of fourteen, he successfully resisted the lure of horror paperbacks with startling covers. The writers who entranced him were people like George Orwell and the Czech author Franz Kafka. Also influential was the surprisingly grim fairy tale world of Hans Christian Anderson. Academics don’t consider these horror writers, of course, but look at what they wrote about: totalitarian futures where dissidents are fed to hungry rats, desperate individuals who metamorphose into giant beetles, and young girls whose red shoes keep on dancing, even after her feet have been cut off... Different route, same destination.
Karōshi Books is an imprint of Noose and Gibbet Publishing and is run by Johnny Mains, Peter Mark May and Cathy Hurren. Book will be released first for the Kindle in next month or so, then paperback this September. This will be the first time any of Alex' stories will have seen publication.

My real- time review of this book: nullimmortalis.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/glory-splendour-alex-miles/I wish I had illimitable time to do illimitable real-time reviews of all the authors and editors, whose work I love.
