FOUR CAMPAIGNS AND A COLLECTION"},"content":{"rendered":"

In which we provide a quick review of a short horror story collection, and updates on some current and forthcoming Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaigns. Because we\u2019re slamming things in as fast as we can, without any plan whatsoever. Yes, you\u2019re listening to greydogtales<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, I\u2019m not a pure horror afficionado, but I decided to have a look at Andrew Freudenberg\u2019s first collection, My Dead and Blackened Heart<\/em> (Sinister Horror, 2019), which I\u2019ve had for a few months. I already know Mr F as a fine chap, and entered into this with some trepidation \u2013 I can be a harsh judge, after doing too much editing for magazines and anthologies over the last few years\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good, quick read, to start with (great cover as well). Freudenberg is a very competent writer, and that\u2019s a genuine compliment. For a debut collection, it has none of the \u2018Oh dear\u2019 sighs that some elicit. Where reviewing it overall becomes more difficult is that these are mostly short short stories, and some of them are basically glimpses into people or scenarios. Vignettes, and the click of a shutter. Yet, as it happens, this enhances a number of the tales included. Rather than laborious over-explanation, the author just does it.<\/p>\n

This is, as noted above, defintely a collection of horror stories, and a very fleshy one. There\u2019s some nasty stuff in here. Meat is Master. It\u2019s either ideal for vegetarians who want to say \u2018Told you,\u2019 or a way of putting carnivores off their \u2018beef\u2019 teppanyaki. Blackened Heart<\/em> also has a few inter-related stories, and it\u2019s interesting to see the World War Two elements creeping in to add a sense of history \u2013 this works well.<\/p>\n

Not all of the stories fully chimed with me. Freudenberg has a tendency to close with the \u2018I think I\u2019ll just go and put my head in the oven\u2019 type ending, which can be sort of a downer. But when he hits his pace with this, he achieves something for which many more veteran writers strive. A number of the stories have clever twists, and two particular tales are really striking \u2013 pretty much worth buying the collection for in their own right.<\/p>\n

In \u2018Charlie\u2019s Turn\u2019 he provides a marvellous piece of observational, everyday horror about two children which really sticks with you. The sheer simplicity of it makes it chilling, not unlike some of Saki\u2019s work. To say more would be a disaster, but you should read it. And in \u2018The Last Patrol\u2019 we have one of the best \u2018circus\u2019 stories I have ever read, in a way you would not expect. Bleak, powerful and humane. It\u2019s the closest he gets to weird fiction rather than trad horror, and it\u2019s absolutely excellent.<\/p>\n

A diverting book which you can devour in a sitting, unlikely to disappoint.<\/p>\n

NIGHTSCAPES<\/h2>\n

And on to campaigns, because there\u2019s a lot going on. First of all, the earnest and worthy folk at Nightscape Press are rightfully drumming up support for their projects, not the least because being a small press is hard, bloody thankless work a lot of the time. Nightscape are an ethical weird fiction outfit, always worth checking out, and have done some great stuff already. The KS is fully funded, but the more you pledge for some of their ace rewards, the more the press can achieve. Do check the campaign out here:<\/p>\n

NICTITATIONS<\/h2>\n

Then there\u2019s Nictitating Books, a new venture from Sean M Thompson, already known to many through his short stories. Sean also has a new collection, Screaming Creatures<\/em>, out now. The Indiegogo campaign is to help establish Nictitating Books and let them move toward some new exciting projects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\u201cSean M. Thompson brings you a variety of horrors in SCREAMING CREATURES. From paranoid, mind twisting trips into SILENT HILL-esque video game settings, to classic TALES FROM THE CRYPT style cinematic storytelling, to metatextual retellings of previous Sean M. Thompson stories. It\u2019s a book sure to draw you in and keep you reading, if only to see what direction the next story will go, and in what way they will work to creep into the back of your mind and find a new home there.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n

FOLK HORRORS<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s just over two days to go for A Walk In A Darker Wood<\/em>, a brand new folk horror anthology of short stories and poetry that features many well-known authors within the Weird Fiction Genre. They invite you into their weird world of Pagan worship and strange Old Gods that come from the most mysterious parts of nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a sort of cooperative venture to create something cool \u2013 and illustrated \u2013 and again, it\u2019s fully funded, but if you pledge for a copy, you\u2019ll be helping the thing happen and happen well. Includes a wide range of UK and US authors, and a new story by old greydog<\/em> about the mythology of the North Sea coast.<\/p>\n

Finally for today, another Kickstarter goes live on the 1st<\/sup> August, for Golden Goblin\u2019s double book project \u2013 An Eldritch Legacy<\/em> and Between Twilight and Dawn<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An Eldritch Legacy<\/em>: We rejoin the cousins of the Morgan Clan 10 years later. Now in their early 20’s our six cousins from Dunwich, Arkham, Kingsport and Innsmouth as they make their way in the world. Each continues to face challenges as the malevolent forces of the Cthulhu Mythos surround them, and in some cases, reside within them as well. We are proud to offer this sequel to Children of Lovecraft Country<\/em>. Six novelettes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Between Twilight and Dawn<\/em>: Cosmic horror tales, each set \u2013 surprise \u2013 between a single twilight and dawn. Thirteen stories from veterans of the cosmic horror field, and for some reason, John Linwood Grant, who asks what will Mamma Lucy, the 1920\u2019s conjure woman, do, when trouble comes unbidden to her door…<\/p>\n
