Jeani Rector: SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS is “in the home stretch”
The Horror Zine founder Jeani Rector says her new anthology, SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS, is “in the home stretch” and expected in 2015 from Post Mortem Press. The follow-up to 2013’s SHADOW MASTERS will feature my short story, “Center Stage Sideshow”.
With the exception of a few oddments, assistant editor Dean Wild has finished the editing, and the anthology promises to pack a wallop, with some of the most promising up-and-comers mixed among the bestsellers and award-winners.
Graham Masterson, author of THE MANITOU, says “The Horror Zine is the true home of today’s visceral, organic horror, and the stories in SHRIEKS AND SHIVERS reflect the courage and imagination with which Jeani Rector has sustained this genre for the past six years. Be prepared to encounter the grue in gruesome, not only brought to you by some very experienced butchers but by some fearless and inspired new dabblers in blood, entrails and other things too horrifying to mention.”
