Through the work of rising authors like G. D. Falksen, Lawrence Dagstine, and Paul Marlowe, we are also pioneering the genre of “steampunk horror,” in which elements of the golden age weird tale or Gothic romance are combined with an elegant 19th-Century proto-science-fiction aesthetic, such as that embodied by Wells, Verne, and the earliest pulp writers.

However, its basic scope is on works of speculative or weird fiction with a literary feel, surrealism, existentialism, miserablist fiction, and lots more. Over the years it’s featured some of Britain’s finest short story writers. This particular issue would be the MAPS Edition… Being and Becoming…

First, I’d like to thank my readers and author friends who have emailed recently to see how I am doing in the health department. I’ve received an overwhelming amount of letters (a couple of hundred, so it may take time to get back to everybody) — and I thank you. You don’t know how much I really appreciate the support. The people from the messageboards, everyone from the magazine and independent publishing circuits. Family, friends, and fans… You guys are what makes the Small Press and Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror such a great place.

Second, for those interested, I have a science fiction reprint in the 7th Anniversary Issue of AOIFE’S KISS. June 2008, No. #25. Published by Sam’s Dot Publishing (www.samsdotpublishing.com), who’ll also be releasing a collection of mine down the road.
