Congratulations are due our editor on the project, Brenton Tomlinson at Blade Red Press, and my fellow contributors for crafting a collection of distubing and nightmarish tales. This seems like as good an opportunity as any to pimp out the project: my contribution to the anthology is entitled “Hand and Cradle,” and is a piece of alternate-history which I’m very glad found a home because it remains one of my most vivid imaginings (darkness notwithstanding). It concerns a timeline where capitalism has permeated every facet of society as enforced by the shadowy Invisible Hand, and one ageing industrialist’s confrontation with her own mortality, leading to a daring break-in at a Cradle, where children are raised seperate from family and the rest of society to ensure Equal Opportunity. The anthology can be purchased at the publisher’s website, which also lists other retailers like Amazon and the Kindle edition: http://www.blade-red.com/books/dark-pages-1/.
