The beast to be disturbed

Crowdfunding begins today for an anthology of weird fiction by women writers called Disturbing the Beast, and it has some fabulous eyeball-heavy artwork for a cover:

This is the first book from Boudicca Press, who are dedicated to discussing the kind of subjects that deserve some weird treatment – pregnancy, for a start. Now that is a weird business.

I’ve been asked to write a story for this (I’m just polishing something for it now), and so has the brilliant Kirsty Logan; submissions are also open right now.

I’ve just had a quick check and this has already reached over 10% of its target in the first few hours, so that is a brilliant start. I think it’s going to be good. I can’t stop looking at all those eyes. Leave me alone, eyes. Right, back to polishing.
