April 16th, 2010 • Posted in Book News |

I’m thrilled to announce that BRITISH INVASION, the anthology I co-edited with Christopher Golden and James A Moore, has been nominated for a prestigious Shirley Jackson Award.

You can go here to visit the awards website and check out the other nominees.

Special congrats to my pals Stephen Volk , Joel Lane and Sarah Pinborough for their nominations in the novella category, and Rob Shearman for his Collection nomination.

And, of course, thanks to all the British Invaders.

As I mentioned a few days ago, BRITISH INVASION (the anthology I edited with Christopher Golden and James Moore, for Cemetery Dance Publications) is on the initial ballot for a Bram Stoker Award.  Which is nice!

If you’re a voting member of HWA and you’d like to see a copy …  Go here and buy one like everyone else.  Enjoy!

The Thief of Broken Toys went to the printer today!  It’s selling well over at HorrorMall, so if you want to pre-order a hardback go here and check it out.

British Invasion, the anthology I edited with James Moore and Christopher Golden, has made it to the Stoker longlist.  Yay!

British Invasion

January 31st, 2009 • Posted in Book News |

golden053This anthology which I co-edited with Christopher Golden and James A Moore is shipping now.  It’s a collection of all new horror stories from British writers, both established and relatively new to the field.  And we happen to think it’s very good indeed.

You can buy BRITISH INVASION direct from the publisher, or from your usual indie dealers.

This is the third anthology I’ve co-edited, but the first that has been published (the tales behind the previous two, Tales from the Teeth Park, and Nightshades, are long and complex, buy me a drink one day and I’ll tell you).  I’m very, very proud to have my name on a book as editor – editing an anthoklogy has long been an ambition of mine, and here’s hoping I get to do some more in the near future.  I hope you like the book … do let me know!

BRITISH INVASION – Cemetery Dance

Cemetery Dance report that BRITISH INVASION, the anthology I co-edited wgolden051ith Christopher Golden and James A Moore, is on the way!  Click the link above to see full contents, and just take a look at this fantastic artwork by the very excellent Les Edwards.  If you’re a contributor … you’ll be getting your copy soon.  If you’re not, you really should invest in this.  It’s an excellent collection, even if I do say so myself (and in fact, other people say so too … see below):

“From Gord Rollo’s transcendentally eerie tale of a comatose young boy’s revenge to Mark Morris’s cautionary tale about a pair of unorthodox vampires, the 21 original stories in this anthology establish the strength of British horror writers.” – Library Journal

their authors are exceptionally articulate in the universal language of horror.” – publishers Weekly

Tomorrow … how with my 40th fast approaching, I’m starting to feel my age.
