Coming soon: Requiems for the Departed

[altariel]

Press release from Morrigan Books about their forthcoming anthology Requiems for the Departed, edited by Gerard Brennan & Mike Stone, in which I have a story:

Another great anthology from Morrigan Books and yet another fantastic cover from Reece Notley:

Edited by Gerard Brennan & Mike Stone

Requiems for the Departed
Irish Crime, Irish Myths.

It has been said before, that every story has already been told.

Maybe so. But if you’ve got the gift of the gab, you can tell the same tale as often as you like and still give it a life of its own every time.

Requiems for the Departed flaunts that gift seventeen times over with top shelf stories from Ken Bruen, Maxim Jakubowski, Stuart Neville, Brian McGilloway, Adrian McKinty, Sam Millar, John Grant, Dave Hutchinson, and many more.

The children of Conchobar are back to their old mischievous ways, ancient Celtic royalty, druids and banshees are set loose in the new Irish underbelly with murder and mayhem on their minds.

Requiems for the Departed contains seventeen short stories, inspired by Irish mythology, from some of the finest contemporary writers in the business.

PUBLICATION DATE: 1st June 2010

Congratulations! Pity they didn't have the good sense to put your name among those on the cover.

I take it that "top shelf stories" doesn't mean porn, which is what I might have assumed in a different context. :)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

LOL I hope not too!
