Possibly the best thing ever to come out of Croydon I lived just south of Croydon 1971 - 1994. ;D We just missed each other... I was in Beckenham, 82 - 91 I didn't start writing until I left  If you ever went to the Cartoon in Croydon to hear any bands, we might have rubbed shoulders. I was in there a lot. Willie |

[We just missed each other... I was in Beckenham, 82 - 91 If you ever went to the Cartoon in Croydon to hear any bands, we might have rubbed shoulders. I was in there a lot. I went to a Horror writer's group in Beckenham around 1988-1990 - run by Scott Dorward. It later turned into the T-Party.... Jael Nuit attended this group and published 'The Hard Core', a cover of which is shown earlier on this thread. And the T-Party later did (effectively a Gary Couzens brainchild) 'Gravity's Angel' (also shown). Not the Cartoon, but Mark Samuels and I often met along with others at the Purley Arms in South Croydon. (He lived in Sydenham at the time). des |

BTW, Willie, I now understand you live in the frozen wastes (literally) of Canada! Yep... as of last October. I've got a job as a research assistant/tech writer with a whale research firm. I'll be out on boats all summer with the whales (and tourists). Then I get to spend most of the winter on my own writing... I finally got my dream job Winter is still ongoing here, up on the east coast on Newfoundland. Snowing heavily today. Back in January it got down to -30C... only about -3C now. This is the view from my front room... a wee bit different from the back end of Beckenham Junction station  |

just to say hello, willie, and thanks for posting all these. as i've said earlier on this thread, this aspect of horror fiction has passed me by before, and the work of des in archiving this here has been eyeopening. glad to see you taking up the gauntlet and giving me even more old names to try and catch up with.

Yes, that is correct. I think that that is Words Vol. 3. I was in Vols 1 & 2.
That issue of Voices From The Edge was probably the best of the series.
