Dark Musings: September 2014
http://anthony-watson.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The horror, the horror. Monday, 29 September 2014. Is the latest offering from Gary Fry and is released by DarkFuse. As expected, it's another slice of philosophical conjecture lurking within the framework of a horror story - another Frydian thesis. Previous books by Gary have focused on the dichotomy between mind and body but there's a different subject matter on display in Mutator. With musings on evolutionary theory providing the backdrop to the narrative thrust. He's created a truly original monster ...

Dark Musings: Rogue.
http://anthony-watson.blogspot.com/2015/04/rogue.html
The horror, the horror. Tuesday, 21 April 2015. Is an anthology of twenty two stories produced by Near to the Knuckle. Featuring the titular characters. The stories are set in a variety of locations - wartime London, the USA, the town just down the road from where I live (I kid you not - Northumberland may seem an odd choice of location for a gritty piece of crime fiction but An Imperfect Arrangement. By Gary Duncan is set right there) and, in Fish Out of Water. An incredibly dark piece of writing which ...

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. Monday, 22 June 2015. Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Tuesday, 16 June 2015.

Dark Musings: The Visible Filth
http://anthony-watson.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-visible-filth.html
The horror, the horror. Wednesday, 29 April 2015. Is the latest chapbook produced by This is Horror. And is written by Nathan Ballingrud. The author's collection North American Lake Monsters. Was one I was very impressed with so I had great expectations for this novella, expectations which I'm very pleased to report have have been met and, indeed, exceeded. Of course, what's revealed in the files is utterly horrible and the author's prose here is perfect, brilliantly conveying the awfulness of what Will ...

Dark Musings: Blatant Self Publicity.
http://anthony-watson.blogspot.com/2015/04/blatant-self-publicity.html
The horror, the horror. Monday, 6 April 2015. Tuesday 31st March saw publication of the latest anthology from Charon Coin Press. Which will feature stories set in (ultimately) all fifty states in America. The state in this instance is Louisiana and the publishers received so many quality stories that the decision was made to produce two volumes in order to incorporate them all. I'm glad they made that decision because it gave enough space to allow my story. It provides something else too. A hush fell ove...

Dark Musings: January 2015
http://anthony-watson.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The horror, the horror. Monday, 26 January 2015. Within the Wind, Beneath the Snow. The opening two words of the first release from Spectral Press's Theatrum Mundi. Imprint, Within the Wind, Beneath the Snow. By Ray Cluley which cleverly introduce two of the thematic devices employed to brilliant effect in this sublime tale of winter horror. I've long enjoyed Ray's writing since my first encounter with it in Black Static. Magazine (I think the story was Beachcombing. A wonderful sense of paranoia builds ...

Agenthood and Submissionville: The Fear
http://jackiebuxton.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-fear.html
Monday, 9 March 2015. I like to test it from time to time – with the odd break of a foot or a knee or the smashing of too many bones in my forearm and wrist to count or a chance burst artery following a fairly routine operation. How's the pain? The nurse asked, as the blood spewed so fast into my chest cavity that, mercifully, the vessels carrying blood from the miscreant area couldn't cope and thus blocked, saving my life (thank you blood vessels) but oh, at a painful price. Out of how many? It can be p...

Dark Musings: May 2014
http://anthony-watson.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
The horror, the horror. Monday, 19 May 2014. Is a new novel from James Cooper and is published by DarkFuse. I've been an admirer of James' writing since my first encounter with it in Black Static. Magazine and - on the recommendation of my partner in crime at Dark Minds, Ross Warren - his two collections of short stories, You Are the Fly. And The Beautiful Red. The novel comes not long after publication of the author's novella Strange Fruit. Monday, 12 May 2014. Having played a significant role in re-est...

Monday, 12 January 2015. Night Shift, reviewed by Stephen Bacon. NIGHT SHIFT by Stephen King – 30 Years of Fear. So how has Night Shift fared in the near-three decades since I first read it? Come with me now, constant reader, and we’ll embark on a journey together through some of the greatest short horror fiction ever written. Let’s talk, you and I. Let’s talk about Night Shift. There is a very melancholy tone about Night Surf. The plot of The Mangler. The same can be said for Trucks. Is a rather traditi...
