Humble Pie
Folks, I remember saying that book three was going to be the final chapter in the internationally bestselling horror anthology series The Macabre Codex. Sadly, a week after I had written that email, I had already written the first two stories that ended up in Tales of the Macabre, Vol. 4.
“Is Tales of the Macabre, Vol. 4 the last in the series? Don’t lie to me again, Newt, I’ve been hurt before.”
Yes, yes it is. I have already had the cover designed for the collected works, Tales of the Macabre, so if I betray everyone and write a book five, I will have to redesign the cover.
Does this mean I am going to stop writing short stories and become a novelist?
No…
Well, ish.
I cannot stop writing short stories. I am hooked on the medium. Giving up alcohol in Dry Jan is far easier than stopping writing short stories. However, I do want to write more novels. Writing Nestor Lynch was a ton of fun, and I would like to try that again.
I would also like to join a few anthologies by other authors. I fancy joining the submission mill and seeing how that goes. It would be an absolute ball to collaborate with others in the community.
Failing that… well now, I will just start a new series of anthologies.
An early Chrissie pressie! Love it!
"Invasion Of The Hipster Beards" was brilliant...
