The Horror Day Anthology has now been launched!

[martinlivings]

Hi all!

Yes, it's Horror Day, Friday the 13th of October 2006. And to celebrate, Martin Livings and Stephanie Gunn have co-edited what could only be described as the literary equivalent of a flash mob, assembled in less than a day for your enjoyment!

So now, without further ado, the Horror Day Anthology is now available for viewing. It will be online from 12:01am on Friday the 13th of October, GMT+1200, until 11:59pm that same day, GMT-1200, a total of 48 hours, all of which is Horror Day... well, somewhere in the world! Fifteen stories from a wide variety of authors, all absolutely free to view, if only for a day or two.

The stories are:

-- "untitled", Brendan Carson
-- "Your Own Light-Hearted Friend", Stephen Dedman
-- "Daddy", Stephanie Gunn
-- "Inchoate: Night Memories", Robert Hood
-- "Silence", Martin Livings
-- "Chocolate", Robbie Matthews
-- "The New Religion", Brett McBean
-- "Chrysalis", Chuck McKenzie
-- "Nothing to Fear", Nigel Read
-- "Overheard on a train?", Rhidian Rhead
-- "Touched", David Schembri

Hey Marty, your mug is on the front page of the ABC News site :) Looks like Horror Day has gotten some press!

I forgot to mention, I found Carnies on display at Big W Warwick a month or so back! I've read it, it's good, so congrats again! But I did find it a little odd to read, because I've never read a book by someone I know before, and it wasn't at all hard to believe you wrote it from the style of writing and expression.

Anyway, I best get back to Shadowfall, first novel I've read by James Clemens, not half bad!

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up! Dunno how it was my ugly face that ended up there, but hey!

Actually, you seem to have been ignored altogether in that article. Damn them. :(

I'd have preferred your pretty face to my ugly one, anyway. It would have gotten more readers, I'm sure! :)

Wow, great idea, great read. Some notable faces missing though. Where is everyone?

Reading you LJ, I think I know of whom you speak... and don't worry, they'll both be at the reading at Fantastic Planet. ;)

Actually, they didn't know about it, having taken themselves off almost all modes of mass net communication. One of them tried to get a story in, but too late, though her blatant attempts at bribery were embarrassing. ;)
