After waiting three months, I decided to query a submission I have with Surreal Magazine. Not that 3 months is all that long a time, rather–I have ants in my pants. I received a response this morning. I will reproduce the letter in full: Hi, Anthony. Yes, we do have your story, and it’s currently

Don’t forget to check this site out. This is a blog carnival of horror flash fiction, designed to give readers tastes of what is inside of the dark minds of the horror writers around the blogosphere. Tastes of the Darkness

I usually like to post when I add any new links. If you refer to my previous post “Another rejection” and go to the comment box, you will see a response from one, Benjamin Solah. I went to check his blog out, and it has lots of cool info and features. It links back to

Just added this blog link to my side bar. I swear I had already posted it long ago, but on second look, I couldn’t find it. It’s a great blog that has been put together like a professional web site. All you writers and horror writers alike should go check it out.
