Publication News and New BACK OF THE BOOKSHELF Content...
Quite a lot has been happening since my last post, so I thought it was about time I wrote another one.
Anyone out there who enjoys audiobooks may be interested to hear that two more episodes of my classic fiction podcast, Back of the Bookshelf , have been released. Episode 4 features a J. Sheridan Le Fanu story called The White Cat of Drumgunniol, which is about a family in 19th century rural Ireland who are afflicted by a strange curse. It's a classic of the horror genre - scary, atmospheric and a lot of fun. These are the details...
TITLE - The White Cat Of Drumgunniol
AUTHOR - J. Sheridan Le Fanu
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED - 2nd April 1870 in All Year Round
NARRATOR - C.J. Carter-Stephenson
MUSIC - Kevin MacLeod
DURATION - 27:14
VIDEO LINK - Back of the Bookshelf, Episode 4
In Episode 5, we return to 19th century Paris for Alexandre Dumas' A Masked Ball. Intrigue, betrayal and heartache are skillfully woven together in this one as our hero ventures into a high society den of debauchery and has a memorable encounter with a woman who clearly doesn't belong there. The locations include Père Lachaise Cemetery and the Théâtre des Variétés, and unusually, Dumas himself appears as a character. The details for this one are as follows...
TITLE - A Masked Ball
AUTHOR - Alexandre Dumas
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED - 1833 in Scènes du Beau Monde
NARRATOR - C.J. Carter-Stephenson
MUSIC - Kevin MacLeod, Victor Carbajo, Sandro Bisotti
DURATION - 19:09
VIDEO LINK - Back of the Bookshelf, Episode 5
As always there are audio versions of both episodes available on Spotify, iTunes, Libsyn, Google Play Music, Fourble, Stitcher, Podtail, Podbay.fm, Player FM, TuneIn and Castbox.
If you enjoy this new content, please don't forget to spread the word. Next up... The Cone by H.G. Wells.
Now for some publication news. Firstly, I'm delighted to tell you that my science fiction story, The Interdimensional Megastar has just been published in Issue 28 of The Colored Lens . The Colored Lens specializes in stories that cause the reader to reexamine his/her perspective on the world and has built up an excellent reputation over the years. My contribution is a twist a twist-in-the-tale science fiction story which explores the idea of parallel universes. It was originally written way back in 2012, but has been extensively reworked since then with some helpful input from classmates on my MA writing course. If you are interested in checking it out, you can pick up a copy of the magazine here. There is a cost, but it's well worth it, as there are over 150 pages of quality fiction.
The other bit of breaking news is that my flash fiction story, The Decision, has been accepted for publication in the Jitter Press journal. Exactly when the story will appear is yet to be confirmed, but as soon I we have any information, I will post it here. At 310 words, The Decision is my shortest story to date and was written in a single sitting. It falls under the broad umbrella of horror, but draws its inspiration from the world of fairy-tale.
That's it for now. Have a great morning/afternoon/evening/night (delete as appropriate).
