It’s that time of year again — when horror is in the air. If you’re looking for something creepy to read, which happens to include fiction by yours truly, there’s Body Shocks, which Sadie Hartmann has praised on Tor Nightfire, and another anthology about to come out in the next few days, The Alchemy Press Book of Horrors 3: A Miscellany of Monsters. Strictly speaking, there was a launch last month at the British Fantasy Convention in Birmingham, but the official publication date is next week.
Here’s a lovely promotional image made by Jenny Barber, showing the Alchemy Horrors 3 cover alongside those of the first two books in the series!
The Alchemy Press Book of Horrors 3: A Miscellany of Monsters edited by Peter Coleborn and Jan Edwards
Monsters are many things. They come in all forms, shapes and sizes: from to the tiny to the titanic; from amorphous blobs to many limbed (or tentacled) monstrosities; from supernatural demons to man-made terrors. They come from any place and time: from under the bed to the woodshed; from the icy wastes to the darkest jungles; from the depths of the ocean to outer space; from the past, the future, the now! Many things. Any things. In this anthology we present a range of creatures, from the oceans, from the ground, from the air. Contributors include Garry Kilworth, Steve Rasnic Tem, Sarah Ash, Adrian Cole, Marion Pitman, Ralph Robert Moore and others.
