2011 has been a mixed bag of a year globally. We’ve had the Arab Spring, Quadaffi and Kim Jong Ill are no longer providing us with endless parody opportunities and the banks are still wealthy. However, all that aside, what matters is that Volume 1 of our City of Hell Chronicles project is out in the wild and being read by actual Humans, and so far, has been well received.
I’m super proud that two well respected bloggers, and all round good eggs have mentioned City of Hell and Anachron Press in their year round ups. You can read these posts, and learn about other great books that were released this year by visiting Tony’s Thoughts, and The Eloquent Page.
Both of these great guys, (Tony and Paul) really got the ethos behind City of Hell and recognised what we were aiming for, and that’s always humbling to see.
We also have had a couple more reviews come in, which is always nice to see:
1. The first is on the excellent HorrorAddicts site, and written by David Watson
2. The second is a marvellous writeup by Simon Tall on his blog.
In other news, we are hot on the process of producing the second volume. We are actually open for submissions on this one, so there is an opportunity for anyone to get involved and a submit a story. Naturally, the quality needs to be very high, but we have written a document to help you set your story in the City of Hell world. For more details on how to submit to this second volume, please visit our publishers’ website: Anachron Press. It’s worth nothing that Anachron Press is also looking for fantasy stories for an anthology titled ‘Day of Demons.’
I wanted to thank each and everyone of you who have bought this book, left a review, or generally helped us with getting the word out. I’m deeply grateful to all of you! I also want to give a special mention to our wonderful artist, Thomas Boatwright, who did such a wonderful job with the illustrations. You really should check out more of his work at his website.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing New Year! Viva Le Great Maurr!
