I've downloaded the book, now all I have to do is grab some time to read it! Looks like a fabulous collection, Tim and I'm looking forward to it :)
Hi Tim! :D I am a big fan of your work already! Loved the Nekropolis series and your Supernatural novels. :D Thank you for joining us!
hello and thank you Tim.
Hiya Tim & welcome! I am looking forward to diving into ‘Dark and Distant Voices’. Sounds like a good time ;)
Hi, everyone! Thanks for the welcome, and I'm excited you're going to be reading my book. I hope you all enjoy it!

Thanks, Tim--all I was coming up with was the kindle version. :)
Hello Tim! Welcome to HA and thanks for coming!

I just bought mine and will be starting it as soon as I finish my current read.
I began tonight. I've read the first story so far. What was she?!

I did drop my daughter off at middle school and on the way home saw a girl walking on the sidewalk who, for an instant, I thought was my daughter. I wrote the story when the #yesallwomen discussions were going on. Those discussions inspired me to write a story about men's fear of women's sexuality, and I used the experience of dropping my daughter off at school as a basis for the story. The daughter is a metaphor for the story's theme.

That's exactly how I feel--If I still think back on parts of a story--out of the blue--weeks later, it's usually a five star read for me. :)
Thoroughly enjoying this collection, Tim. The first story got me completely hooked and there hasn't been one I haven't liked since. One of my favourites though is Day 12. The idea of a plane developing conscious thought. Wow, that was a stunner!

I wanted to write a story but didn't have an idea, so I looked around and decided to just start writing about the plane and the passengers. "Day 12" was the result.

I really enjoyed Blood and Bone as well as waters edge. Yay for that one!!!!
Cleaning up was good too.
Finished it and there wasn't one story I didn't love. They were all so different. So difficult to pick one favourite but I do keep coming back to Day 12 - especially now I know where you were when you wrote it! The Goggen was a new and terrifying monster - glad there's only one of them at any one time ;) and Skywatching rounded everything off perfectly. Reviews posted. 5 stars all round. Thank you, Tim for providing such excellent reading.

I have a horror novel called THE MOUTH OF THE DARK coming out from Flame Tree Press in September. In February, I'll have SUPERNATURAL: THE CHILDREN OF ANUBIS out. I'll have a "nonfiction" travel guide to SUPERNATURAL out sometime in 2019. Right now I'm finishing up a new monster book for Severed Press called BLOOD ISLAND. Then I'll start a new horror novel for Flame Tree Press called THEY KILL. Then after that, I have another media tie-in novel to write. I can't say which property it is, but it's one that I haven't worked with before, and monsters are involved!
