The table of contents for Darker Minds has been revealed. Looks like a fine line-up. I can't wait to get my copy of this one. It will be interesting to see how the other authors used the loose theme of horror based on the dark side of the human mind. I had written my story for a contest two years ago. It was more of a sci-fi/fantasy contest, but I sent a horror/mystery story anyway. I was told that it was the best of the horror submissions, though no horror stories were chosen as finalists. I sat on the story for a while, uncertain where to submit it, and then I saw the Darker Minds guidelines and it seemed to fit what they were looking for quite nicely.
Here's the TOC:
Reflections From a Broken Lamp - John Travis
Tale of the Abnormal Beauty Queen - Robert Essig
Waste Disposal - Ray Cluley
The Man Who Remembered - Stephen Bacon
Cinder Images - Gary McMahon
The Way of the World - Gary Fry

Darker Minds should be available in April.
Each story was reviewed individually. Like any self-respecting author I scrolled down to read the comments about my story "Tale of the Abnormal Beauty Queen". The reviewer called it "brilliant". Nuff said. Here's the link: Darker Minds Review. Check it out and read the reviews for all of the stories. There were only a few that the reviewer didn't care for, which is to be expected with any anthology.
