Sins and Other Worlds Digital Author Copy Received, General Release Hoped by Halloween
Saturday brought my author’s e-copy from Editor Eric S. Fomley of SINS AND OTHER WORLDS (see August 13, et al.), with the added note that both electronic and print versions of the book will be able to be released “in the next couple of weeks.” Or, if all goes well, the book should be out just in time for [image error]Halloween. And it’s filled with stories, with authors well known as well those less so — my own, for instance, is in the contents just below a story by Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn. To quote from the Editor’s introduction: Within these pages are thirty-five dark tales of science fiction brought to you by thirty very talented authors. I’ve always had a love for the darker side of the genre, though I’ve found there are few anthologies that collect dark science fiction in one tome. So I’ve created one, put together with some of the biggest names writing short sci-fi right now. I hope you enjoy this anthology of the best short dark science fiction in recent memory.
And so it goes. My own part in the potpourri is a tale of “The Cyclops,” originally published in DARK MOON DIGEST YOUNG ADULT HORROR in June 2013, about a very, very young man whose own mother thinks he might be a zombie. Say what? Well it actually may be worse than that, but for more, including info on ordering SINS AND OTHER WORLDS when it’s ready, keep watching these pages.
