The Coming of the Chimera

I have just received word that the second Chimeraworld anthology is available now, and will also appear on Amazon in five weeks.

Of the twenty three stories included, there is one of mine, by the title of 'Asking For It'.

The anthology is on sale here.



Now read the blurb:

Still reeling from the nightmare excesses of CHIMERAWORLD #1? Relax a while and enjoy the ambient tones of sadness, depression, degradation and utter hopelessness of CHIMERAWORLD #2. A perfect paperback anti-dote to that brain battering bitch, the pure power-chords of deep, deep despondency.

Those were the rather vague (and purposefully so) guidelines to this title. The idea was not to set a theme but to set a tone, a palette, an atmosphere. I received nearly 100 submissions this year – more than twice last year’s. And the final 23, I hope you’ll agree with me, are some of the most seriously despondent stories ever assembled together into one gloomy collection.

Get your box of razor blades ready ‘cos here we go.
