Black Static 30

Also out is the latest issue of Ellen Datlow’s favourite horror magazine. Interzone and Black Static have been synchronised for production reasons but you can still get both of them with a joint subscription.

Here’s Tony Lee’s ratings for the films that he reviewed for both issues.

The Best New Horror of the Year Volume Four

Hey, I rate a mention in the introduction because of a story I had in the British Fantasy Society Journal last year. Neat.

Ellen Datlow’s annual anthology represents the best in horror fiction and you should buy it if you’ve got any interest at all in the genre. And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased in any way. Look at the contributors to this volume if you don’t believe me.

The Best Horror of the Year 4

Doctor Dark gets an honourable mention.

Interzone 237

Artwork By Richard Wagner

Interzone 237 will be published later this month and contains fiction from Lavie Tidhar, Jim Hawkins, Douglas Lain and Caspian Gray. Richard Wagner, Steve Hambidge and David Gentry provide the artwork while David Langford, Nick Lowe and Tony Lee cover the non-fiction.

 

In this issue’s Bookzone there are reviews of:

 

Johannes Cabel: The Fear Institute by Jonathan L. Howard (reviewed by Sandy Auden)

Dead Water by Simon Ings (reviewed by Paul F. Cockburn)

Final Days by Gary Gibson (reviewed by Peter Loftus)

Best New Horror of the Year 3

Ellen Datlow has listed the honourable mentions (Part One and Part Two) for 2010. Great to see eight for Dark Horizons and three for Interzone. And congrats to everyone else as well.

Black Static 16

‘The most consistantly excellent horror magazine published’ (Ellen Datlow, The Best Horror of the Year Volume 2) now joins its sister magazine in full-colour glory. Take out a subscription or – even better – a joint Interzone/Black Static subscription here.

A list of the contents and samples of the fiction can be found here.

Go on. It’s beautiful.

More Best Horror of the Year

Ellen Datlow awarded honourable mentions to three Interzone stories (Black Static, being naturally more horrific, got twenty-two) and two from Supernatural Tales 16. Check the full lists for 2009 here and here.

The Best Horror of the Year Volume 2

I get a mention in Ellen Datlow’s The Best Horror of the Year Volume 2 for my story in Supernatural Tales.

Cool!

Premonitions

Pigasus Press is offering the two most recent issues of Premonitions (Causes For Alarm and Different Eerie Warnings) as a double pack for £9.99 to UK customers.
