Mary Genevieve Fortier has written an in-depth interview for Hellnotes of THE BEST OF THE HORROR SOCIETY 2013, an anthology which features my short story, “It Has Teeth”:

Now available via Amazon in paperback and Kindle.

“The HORROR SOCIETY is a community of authors, artists, screen writers, filmmakers, actors, editors, publishers, and musicians who work and contribute to the universe of Horror. The goal of this community is for the individual to share and promote their work by networking with others in the industry to further their careers.” This statement is from the official Facebook page, of The Horror Society. The dedicated mastermind of this tremendously revered group is Scott Goriscak. To promote the works of this diverse group, THE BEST OF THE HORROR SOCIETY 2013 an anthology, was created – an anthology well worth reading.

An interesting note in the Introduction states, “That to celebrate each country there were no changes in style, grammar and punctuation to favor the style of another.” I liked that. As an avid reader, I found it interesting that each story was not only unique in its creative aspects but transported you, in both period of time and place with the simple turn of a page.

There is a detail that needs mentioning for a select few readers: There are a number of stories within that carry the topic of abuse/molestation. Although horrifying these stories may be, to some this subject may be uncomfortable and definitely unsuitable for those below the age of consent.

As with any anthology, you purchase a book of various authors encountering the “hit or miss” stories that lay within. THE BEST OF THE HORROR SOCIETY 2013 is no exception. It has a few hits and some misses. I’d say for the most part, it is a hit…
