My contributor copies of Midnight Echo Magazine, issue 9, landed in my post box this morning. So shiny. I’m very happy that my story, The Fathomed Wreck To See, is in this one. The issue had a Myths & Legends theme and my story plays with the siren/mermaid mythology. But, as is so often the case, it’s really a story about love and loss and people.
This Is Horror, that wonderful UK blog of al...

| This is an outstanding achievement. Volk has written a tale of true, everyday horror, masterfully woven into a heartfelt tribute to a real legend. Incredibly well done and highly recommended. | |

| Finch is a brilliant artist, and this book is no exception, but the story leaves a lot to be desired. It's just a mess of plot holes, unexplained leaps and unresolved threads that seem to appear purely to go nowhere. Very strange and very disappointi...more | |

I enjoyed reading Dark Rite on the whole, it was a rollicking backwoods occult tale, but it all seemed a little cliched? There were also a few typos that jarred, an awful lot of telling instead of showing, and quite a few inconsistencies (for exam...

Hi Al, I LOVE that people love your work so much. Was just reading reviews of Write the Fight Right: they all adore it. It's brilliant. Now, I'm off to do some reading of my own. :)

Oooo I like dark fantasy. Thank you for adding me. =)http://www.cardshark.com/content/view...
and my dark fantasy fav:
I've just added all the books of The Belgariad and The Mallorean, along with Belgarath The Sorcerer and Polgara The Sorceress to my shelves. It's terribly sad news to hear that David Eddings has died. These books are part of the reason I became an author.
