CD's Special BENTLEY LITTLE Issue

For Bentley fans who might have been disappointed with his latest novel, THE DISAPPEARANCE, there's 2 brand new shorts here that show the master back on track: 'The Wheel' is typical old-school Little, which is always welcome, while 'We' is an eerie, weird yarn that will satisfy the author's fans to no end. David B. Silva provides a fantastic interview (featuring a very rare picture of Little at one of his few book signings), while Mark Sieber's 'The Indispensable Bentley Little' gives new readers a fine place to start when choosing a Little novel. Steve Vernon provides an impressive list of Little's published short stories, while Kealan Patrick Burke gives a detailed review of Little's 2009 novel, HIS FATHER'S SON.
Other fiction includes excerpts from King's BLOCKADE BILLY and Brian James Freeman's THE PAINTED DARKNESS. More short fiction comes from Brian Knight, Shaun Jeffrey, Simon Strantzas, and the wonderfully spooky 'The Long Black Coat' by Benjamin Percy.
Although this is a Bentley Little special, my favorite story is the third (and final) installment of Douglas Clegg's novella 'The Innocents at the Museum of Antiquities.' I've waited (what seemed like) forever for this tale to conclude, and it was well worth the wait. Clegg writes with an elegance and style that's second to none, yet still manages to bring on the chills in this gothic, heart-breaking love story.
PLUS there's the usual, informative columns from Bev Vincent, Thomas F. Monteleone, Ed Gorman, and Michael Marano (plus several more) as well as several other articles.
Hopefully CEMETERY DANCE will be released on a more steady schedule, but for fiction this good we shouldn't complain!
