Scare Me, New UK Anthology On Way To Printer

This is to be the debut anthology from British publisher Esskaye Books, SCARE ME, for unthemed horror in the 3,000-5,000 word range, with my story in it one of insects and insurrection in post-Cold War Europe called “Pets,” originally published in THE DARKER SIDE:  GENERATIONS OF HORROR by Roc Books in 2002 (and which also appears in my collection THE [image error]TEARS OF ISIS).  How’s that for a sentence?  It had been quickly accepted for publication (cf. June 16), and there, for the time being, the matter lay.

And now something new from Editor/Publisher Marcus Smith:  Please accept my apologies for the lack of communication recently.  I finally have good news for you!  SCARE ME has been sent to be printed.  There will be a day or two wait while they manually check the print book for technical error but the ebook is already available to retailers.

He adds that even that has just gone out a few hours ago so it most likely hasn’t had time to appear on retailers’ sites quite yet (in fact, I just checked the US Amazon site myself), but it should be soon.  So keep an eye here as well as on your favorite bookstore — the print edition should follow soon as well, with more news hopefully in the near future.
