Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
An anthology of new horror, science fiction and fantasy short stories. What is this lingering fear of insects, arachnids, arthropods, crustaceans and those that slither... is it a hangover from the survival battles in the savannah or does it go deeper and further back than that in our evolutionary heritage? Unchallenged, the locusts, the maggots, the worms, the flies, the aphids and the termites may consume and destroy all that we have and hold dear. Creeping, slithering, crawling horror, science fiction & fantasy stories by nineteen of today's top authors. David Birch, Gary Budgen, Adrian Cole, Storm Constantine, Andrew Darlington, Pauline E. Dungate, Dennis Etchison, Edmund Glasby, John Grant, Terry Grimwood, Andrew Hook, Mark Howard Jones, Alan Knott, Robin Lupton, Ralph Robert Moore, Richard Mosses, Marion Pitman, David Rix, David Turnbull
Andrew Darlington
Ensorcelled by the mystical vinyl codex 'a-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom' at age 8, Andrew Darlington embarked on a lifetime's quest to decipher the magical incantation's profundity, traipsing in not entirely straight lines of zigzag wandering across decades of enchantment. As part of UV Pop, Andrew's own lyrics can be found on the CD See You Later, Cowboy, and a collection of his popular The Eternal Assassin Chronicles have been published by Tule Fog Press (2025). There's also his history of The Yardbirds (2025) published by SonicBond Press, following his books on the Hollies, the Human League and the Small Faces.
