| Post subject: | Little Visible Delight - Omnium Gatherum Books |
Very pleased to say that a story of mine called Calligraphy is out now in a new anthology from Omnium Gatherum Books. The book is called Little Visible Delight (a phrase taken from one of my favourite dark 'classics' Wuthering Heights). It's an anthology based on the theme of the obsessions of writers and Calligraphy itself is an odd story (even by my standards) that I'm very fond of. Here's the blurb for the book: Often the most powerful and moving stories are generated by writers who return time and again to a particular idea, theme, or image. Obsession in a writer's imagination can lead to accomplishment or to self-destruction. Consider Poe and his pale, dead bride; his fascination with confinement and mortality; his illness and premature death. Or Flannery O'Connor's far less soul-crushing fondness for peacocks. Some writers pay a high price for their obsessions, while others maintain a crucial distance. Whichever the case, obsessions can produce compelling fiction. Little Visible Delight is an anthology of original stories in which eleven authors of dark fiction explore some their most intimate, writerly obsessions. The Receiver of Tales by Lynda E.
