Apparitions

by Michael on September 1st, 2012

Apparitions was the first book published by Undertow Publications, this little imprint of mine. It was a final nominee for the Shirley Jackson Award for Edited Anthology.

As well, Gemma Files’ tale ‘The Jacaranda Smile’ was a Shirley Jackson nominee for short story. Gemma’s story, along with Steve Duffy’s ‘Certain Death for a Known Person’ were both reprinted in “The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2010.

The anthology sold out, and has never been reprinted. Soon, though, I’ll have news about more Apparitions. Watch this space.

    I never noticed the plant weaving its way up among the balustrade and among the wispy trail of the ghostly girl. I *like* that. The plant is connected, or the source… however did I miss that. Get a cover by the same artist if you do Apparitions 2, for sure!

    Adam, yes, Erin Wells is the artist. She’s quite good. Was very grateful she allowed me to use this piece.
