Thanks, Ray! We think so, too. “Beyond Saint Patrick’s Chapel”, the story where Nakata is chased by mysterious tracks appearing in long grass…such a simple thing, yet it scared the bejesus out of me.

Quiet Houses is brilliant. A few places I wouldn’t be keen to visit, that’s for sure.

Ah, that’s right. My bedside table is the only place I haven’t looked… yes, I’m an idiot.

I’m pretty sure you did, last year when we first launched. I remember something about you having it on your bedside table…you didn’t lend it to someone?

I thought I’d bought a copy of your book, Tracy, but I can’t find it. My head isn’t working all that well still. Have I?

Comment on Is Small Press the Cavalry This Time? by Guy Anthony De Marco

Well reasoned, Del. I do think small presses will carry the day, and if they work with the mom-and-pop bookstores, everyone can benefit. Ebooks are nice, and I do buy a lot of them, but I still love physical copies. I ended up carrying a suitcase full of signed books home from the World Horror Convention, all of them from small presses.

All I have to see to this is YAY! I do a lot of author interviews on my blog/website and I see such a difference in the approachability of authors with small presses than with the big/traditional presses. Traditionally published authors just seem harder to approach to ask for an interview. I like the “coffee shop” feel of the interaction between small presses and their authors with the reader. Yeah, it requires more time/energy to interact with readers 5 at a time than a 1,000 at a time, but I think for readers it’s much more satisfying to have that feel of immediacy and access of the “5 person” setting to the “1,000 person” one.

I have enjoyed everything I have purchased from Dark Continents, whether it was an e-book or a treebook. The covers are beautiful, and the production values are high. That really matters to me. That and the editors are just good pickers. What I mean by that is that I don’t really worry that I am not going to like something I get from you all. Everything that has come from this press that I have read has been well written and very enjoyable.
