Blade Red Press has been working closely with editor Brenton Tomlinson over the last few months on the Dark Pages anthology. Brenton has done a wonderful job reading over 260 submissions which he narrowed down to a final list of the absolute cream of the crop. We can now annouce that the following fourteen stories will make up the Table of Contents for Dark Pages:

The Stain of the Psychopomp King by Lucien E G Spelman
Heart Of Ice by Martin Livings
Neptune’s Garden by Lisa A Koosis
Dust by Naomi Bell
To Die For by S D Matley
The Franchise by Joe L Murr
Clip Notes by Marty Young
Blood on Green by Victoria Anisman-Reiner
Cargo by Aaron Polson
Nepenthe by Felicity Dowker
Yellow Water Pike by Derek Rutherford
Surveying The Land by B D Wilson
Nightwork by Robert Neilson
Hand And Cradle by Trent Roman

These stories represent an excellent selection of dark speculative fiction, including fantasy, sci-fi, horror and just plain weird. The authors are a truly international bunch. We have representatives from Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, USA and the Netherlands.

This is going to be an excellent collection, certainly one of the must-have books of this year. We’re now getting into the editing and production phase. We’ll give you a sneak peak at cover art when we can and announce a publication date asap. It will be in the first half of 2010.
