It started with a friending on FaceBook but led from there to a brief conversation (on my FaceBook “wall,” the antique laptop not comfortable with Message), an invitation, and a very quick acceptance for May. The story is “The Re-Possessed,” initially published in CEMETERY RIOTS (see [image error]November 9 2018, et al.), and the book-to-be titled 25 GATES OF HELL, a sequel to the general horror anthology 19 GATES OF HELL published by Kydala Publishing, Inc., in 2018. Beyond this I don’t know terribly much about dates or details: the invitation came Saturday with my deciding on an appropriate story and sending it in this morning (Tuesday), and the acceptance from Editor R.L. Burwick came this afternoon. A sort of whirlwind business affair, as one might say. While the story itself is a tale of Victorian funeral practices — as it were, targeted for the longer term — and dark Haitian magic.
