• Darkness Benign

  Darkness Benign is an eclectic blend of darkly hued tales ranging from the bizarre to the macabre.  Writers Zar Castro, Mark Dunn, Kevin Anderson, Rachael Byrd, Michael Louis Calvillo, Jeffrey Burton, R.S. Hill, and Alex Knight come together to create a collection that wends its way from bloody carnival-grounds to southern werewolf haunts to the gore of yesteryear and dark perfection of tomorrow.

  I feel bad...I just got the final edits done on the collection and sent it in to Deron.  The last day I took submissions for Darkness Benign was December 1, which means I've been procrastinating for the last two months.  I've given these authors the closest thing to a "yes" that I can, legally thinking--that is, "Yes, I think it's good, I'll put it in the collection that I submit to the publisher", and now the only thing I can do is cross my fingers and hope Deron likes their writing as much as I do.  There's some pretty big names in that list, though--somehow I ended up with submissions from Kevin Anderson, Michael Calvillo, and Jeffrey Burton.  That's a pretty big deal from where I'm sitting.

  I'll let you all know how things go.

  EDIT!

  That was really fast turnaround.  He likes it.  That's a good thing.
