SpectralBoo Zine Announces First Issue

You've lost me. What what says?

It says JP Lovecraft and it should be HP.

Also, your ezine page says: just about everything except romance, bromance or YA. Which is deeply confusing as 'bromance' isn't a genre - what you're saying by 'no bromance' is 'no stories featuring male friendship.' Which is weird.

The picture says H P (refresh your browser) and I take your point on bromance but up here in the frozen north a bromance is a relationship between two men.

And of course I am not saying no friendships. To be honest if a couple of zombies were having a bromance then that would probably be okay. I make the rules so can break them.:)

But basically as I said ghosts, supernatural and horror and intelligent interpretation of all of the aforementioned.:D
 
You're misunderstanding the term, Gary. I'm just trying to help. I was confused by what you were wanting (and I'm always looking for places to sub to!) so others will be too.

You're okay sis. Can we have a sismance? :)

The JP HP thing was a typo which I tried to cover up but you were like a dog with a bone. LOL

It would be great for you to sub a story. And if you won the competition Beau would get to meet Harvey and Murphy.

@IBrian Thanks for the support - more organised? - I doubt it.:)

Ah you've changed it. My brain is soothed. :D I will probably sub something.

There really should be a sismance term, or some sort of female equivalent!

Thanks Mouse. If you win the comp, please don't chuck me in the River Blyth. Even if I deserve it! LOL :)
 
Are you open for subs now? I'll have to get my thinking cap on.
 
Cheers Glitch.I have a story in mind for your next open window. Hope I'm good enough. It's written in the sytle of M R James.

If you want to do an interview on the trials and tribulations of setting up a press/zine. I will be happy to accommodate. Let me know in a PM, mate.
 
Is the competition open to non-UK? I don't believe I'd be able to claim the prize if I were, by some stretch of the imagination, to win it....
 
Yes TDZ open to anyone in the known Universe. You could sell the prize or donate it to a charity or fly over :)
 
Just rushing before I go to my hosp. appointment...


Great news, Gary (and Simon)! For what it's worth, I have nothing but praise for Spectral Press, so this venture sounds fantastic. Simon has been patient and understanding with me, and he's a top, top bloke. Spectral's really going places - it's been shortlisted for numerous awards over the last couple of years, and this year one of its novellas - The Nine Deaths of Dr Valentine - won at the BFS Awards.

Hey, if memory serves**, wasn't it a certain someone who nudged you towards Spectral to see how another small press has been successful? ;) Didn't think *this* would come of that, though. :):):)


**Well, Seph reminded me, actually. :eek: My memory's not that good! But now I do remember telling you.
 
I read a Tim Lebbon book a few years ago and it was really interesting. Echo CIty.
 
Our very own master of malevolence, Mr J D Worthington has just concluded a fascinating interview with W H Pugmire. Keep an eye out for it in the March interview. If you like horror, you'll love this.:)

JDW has his own column in the Zine.
