This anthology came together almost in a matter of a month but I am pleased to say this is finally done,  and I want to thank every person in the line up willing to go in the long haul.   This is a project which spans both the horror and the Sci-Fi Genre.  There really isn't a synopsis for this project but I will say the writers involved are at the top of their game.   Featuring a host of writers who've been established online or in print,  and those who've never been seen before in print and now are in print with this project.    I am at the helm of this book as the editor but I am making sure the writers in the project are running the show.
           Anthology is edited by me,  featuring the talents of the rising imaginations in both horror and Sci-Fi.   A few out there thought,  "Pacione,  you are off your rocker"  when it came to putting this together and those who called the thing a sham -- I hate to break it to them this is the result of years.  I almost put this out in 1997 but I had to shelf the thing but now I finally got it out there.    The cover art was done by Kimberly Steele,  (author,  Forever Fifteen.)    I am pleased to bring out some of the most talented writers online with this -- and some of them helped light the fire under my ass to get this going.   Featuring writers who were published on The House of Pain,  Temple of Dagon,  Darkwalls.com, and AuthorsDen.
           The cover work on the actual book is in gray scale because of lulu won't let it upload right so I am going to post the color cover here so everyone can get an idea of what it looks like.   I saw this project in my head of how it would be and it would be presented in the concept.  So I enlisted the talented artist Kimberly Steele after all the writers involved contributed their work.   The ranges in styles even left me mindblown because some were influenced by The Outer Limits to writers like Stephen King, Richard Matheson,  Nathanial Hawthorne to H.P. Lovecraft.   I knew what I was looking for and hand picked the writers involved,   one actually came my way from another on the anthology and others came being they were with me on Click here.   So they followed me when it came time to do this project.   This project for me is a labor of love. I published this anthology without the support of the HWA,  and knowing the writers who were published with Iuniverse got a bum rap because they are published on a POD publisher -- hoping they would be taken a little more seriously by putting this out there.   Just by the books' existence it managed to piss off a few people in the industry, but ask me if I give a damn.   Being this is the holidays get the thing as a set to read the stories Hasan and Nick Mounts contributed to Thomas Long's anthology,   and believe me this thing is something that was well worth the wait.    I have this notion I will  appear in anthologies with each of these writers individually if given the oppertunity to do so.
