This is just a quick one, as I try to shake off the melancholia of both Rockworld and, a few days later, the inimitable Pete Steele of Type O Negative going west in the same week (c'mon, Death, couldn't you have taken Robbie Williams instead? Or how about Simon Cowell? Better yet- Michael Bay. Please take that soulless void of directing non-talent. And then flush. Don't forget to spray air-freshener)...
Ahem. Sorry. I said this would be quick, didn't I?
Some of you might remember the BFS anthology Houses On The Borderland, which came out back in 2008. It included some damn good stories from some damn good writers- Allen Ashley, Paul Finch, David A. Riley and Gary Fry- and also a novella of mine called The School House. All in all a very strong line-up of fiction, plus I don't think I've made any secret of the fact that this novella was, and is, very close to my heart, possibly one of the most personal things I've ever written, so it was a crying shame that the anthology seemed to sink without trace. As Oscar Wilde said, there's only one thing worse than being talked about, and that's not being talked about.
All of which is a long-winded preamble to the following: two reviews of Houses On The Borderland have just come out, one on Tales From The Black Abyss and another over at Hellnotes. Cheers to both Colin Leslie and Mario Guslandi for their kind words.
If any of the above piques your interest, you can buy the anthology here. It's always worth supporting the fine organisation that is the BFS.
And that's it from me. Have a nice weekend. Over and out!

Unedited quote from the Guslandi review:
>>>In “The House on the Western Border,” Gay Fry bravely but unsuccessfully endeavors to instill new lymph in the time-honored subject of the haunted house
Hmm . . . :)
Yes, I wondered how you instilled new lymph into something... that's quite an image, though.
