OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE:
World Writers Pen Creepy Children's Tales for
Anthology
Midnight Lullabies
proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders
Thousand Oaks, CA (Saturday, November 10, 2007) -- Writers from across the globe have come together to release a charitable anthology of frightening tales and poems just in time for the cold, dark nights of winter.
Midnight Lullabies, the latest in a series of collected works from literary magazine, The Harrow, was released this week, featuring the creative works of talented writers hailing from the United States, Canada, England, Ireland and Australia.
"What I love about settling inside the room of a horror story is not quite knowing whether you have locked out the bad thing or just locked it in," said award-winning writer and author of 28 books, Tim Wynne-Jones in his introduction for the collection. "Midnight Lullabies is a delicious collection of blind groping, creaking floorboards, heavy whispers and unholy giggling. Many of these imaginings are feigned remembrances -- or real ones, for all I know -- of the darkness and aloneness and subsequent horror of childhood."
In fact, in order to enhance the eeriness of these childish yet terrifyingly mature writings, -- which smack of a current-day "Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales," but scarier -- the anthology's editors have included illustrations culled from the vaults of the Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books. These tomes, mostly from the late 19th century, abound with images drawn from the seemingly repressed and conflicted aesthetic of Victorian England, according to Wynne-Jones.
"We wanted to create a collection to remind everybody that being a child may be a frightening occupation," said Kfir Luzzatto, The Harrow Press' anthology editor. "We, the grown-ups, must pay attention to what our children try to tell us when something haunts them. We hope that Midnight Lullabies will help parents to be more receptive to scary things, whether real or imaginary, that may lurk in their children's bedroom."
All told, Midnight Lullabies offers 29 unique pieces of poetry and prose. All proceeds from the book's sales will go to Doctors Without Borders, an international medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people -- many of whom are children -- in more than 70 countries.

Midnight Lullabies can be purchased at www.BookSurge.com, www.Amazon.com, www.Abebooks.com and www.Alibris.com.
A Writers Weekend- March 24th & 25th, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
This was an intimate conference that allowed writers a lot of opportunities to meet with publishers and work on their manuscripts. Writer's Weekend events are definitely a good investment for any author, whether seasoned or just starting out. Raw Dog Screaming Press was on hand, as they are always interested in supporting talent. I was glad RDSP owner/operator John Edward Lawson was involved in much of the programming. www.rawdogscreaming.com.

How 'bout horror for your pocket? Wicked Hollow is a cult favorite which is fast becoming a reckoning force in modern horror literature. I am very pleased to say that my story, "The Wish Man and the Worm" (my best work to date) has been included in Issue #9. If you love great horror, this is the book, folks. Read what the fans are saying about this gem of a publication.
"This unique and professionally produced book will become a respected and
important part of the literary world."
--Kealan Patrick Burke, author of Ravenous Ghosts
"I picked up my first-ever issue of Wicked Hollow (#8) from
Project Pulp last week, and I
wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. The magazine is perfectly realized: I
loved everything from its small form factor to the heavy card stock of the cover
to the print number and signature line on the back (to say nothing of the
fiction and artwork). Every page is unified by a marvelously simple and
consistent aesthetic that seems to elude many mainstream publications. You've
really got something to be proud of here. I hope you keep going for a long
time."
-- Johnathon Williams

Tempting Disaster is an anthology from the fringe that examines our culture’s obsession with taboos. Postmodernists and surrealists have banded together with renegade horror and sci-fi authors to re-envision what is "acceptable." By turns humorous and horrific, shocking and alluring, the authors dissect those impulses we deny in our daily lives. This volume is all-inclusive in scope, allowing for every lifestyle and viewpoint, no matter how bizarre. This literary experimentation on human desire results in what can only be described as the ultimate Tempting Disaster.
Read "N is For...", a dating experience of the worst kind.
