The anthology is pretty much all over the map, though in an interesting way, and although I feel that I fufilled the requirements of the premise, my own story really is not that spooky. I actually have a creepier story (I hope) coming out in a little lit mag called Salamander sometime soon. All that said, I'm not really a horror writer.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe I've gone over the edge and become one.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328390965492317026.post-65774800743868600642008-12-02T23:04:00.000-08:002008-12-02T23:04:00.000-08:00You ought to shoot your mouth off about this even ...You ought to shoot your mouth off about this even more.

You already know I like the cover. <BR/><BR/>I think that the way Lea conceptualized this gave people a lot of free reign to go in their own direction. There were some initial instructions and cautions for both Carpathian One and Two, which was initially one group, to try and keep some things the same in all stories, but basically the authors proposed their own ideas about what kind of characters would engage with her premise, and she was quite generous in giving the writers free run with their ideas. She also, as I think you pointed out to us as writers, did some fine editing work, to which you also added.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's been fun to get to know the other authors and you and Lea a bit more in the aftermath, and I'm looking forward to participating with everyone in Audrey Shaffer's Writer's Chatroom on December 7th.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328390965492317026.post-1230284443441548602008-11-14T12:07:00.000-08:002008-11-14T12:07:00.000-08:00Thanks for the self-promotion.

It's amazing how the different authors take the same starting point and twist it to suit their own tastes, their own world view, their own concerns, and their own excitement.<BR/><BR/>Of course, as publisher for this collection, I can be accused of self-serving as well.<BR/><BR/>Rob Preece<BR/>Publisher, www.BooksForABuck.comRob Preece/BooksForABuck.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227061367254272672noreply@blogger.com
