House of Fear - Masters of Horror

Editor Jonathan Oliver is putting the finishing touches to his House of Fear anthology (due this October from Solaris Books) and, apparently, it's shaping up nicely.

It includes a story by myself, called The Doll's House.

Anyway, that aside, I thought you might like to see the list of authors contributing to this particular collection.

Joe Lansdale

Paul Meloy
Adam Nevill
Lisa Tuttle
Tim Lebbon
Sarah Pinborough
Eric Brown
Jonathan Green
Nicholas Royle
Christopher Priest
Nina Allan
Chaz Brenchley
Stephen Volk
Christopher Fowler
Gary Kilworth
Weston Ochse
Rob Shearman
Rebecca Levene
Terry Lamsley

Yes, that's right, you're not dreaming, you did see my name alongside those of such horror luminaries as Christopher Fowler, Sarah Pinborough and Adam Nevill*. That fact alone makes me feel proud. The fact that Editor Jon has described my story as 'a right nasty little shocker' makes me even prouder.

Jon's hoping to be able to give away some advance copies at this year's Fantasycon. The anthology itself is a 'mix of the traditional supernatural and the rather more unusual take on the weird.' So what are you waiting for? You can pre-order your copy here.

* Now that's one smart website.
