Within A Forest Dark

Hey- info on my horror short story collection "Within A Forest Dark" which was published today by Dark Continents.
Enjoy
dx

Originally published in e-book form in 2012, this revised and updated version is a gathering of short stories inspired by the layers of hell from within Dante's Inferno. Bradley - a man consumed by the beautiful and mysterious Emmanuelle. Several murders in Paris. A husband who believes his wife's ghost still haunts the home they shared. Will this collection of tragic lovers be able to maintain their humanity in a world awash in chaos and blood? Or is their fate already decided within the pages of an ancient book reputed to be written on human skin? Dare you turn the pages to find out? Also included, the additional bonus story "Dies Irae".

The Demonologia Biblica

A brilliant in-depth / honest review appeared on Amazon today by Chris Hall.
He's obviously spent a lot of time reading each of the stories - so very much appreciated.
With 26 writers, not everything is going to appeal to everyone - but as I say he's been very honest.
If you haven't yet checked the antho out, I'd thoroughly recommend it...well, I would wouldn't I!
