Beyond Human by Matthew Clarke – Launches 23rd July 2021
What does literary success look like to you? Holding a book with your name on it. Everyone’s definition of success is different, but if you’re only writing with the aim of getting rich and famous, you’re likely to be disappointed.
The Salamandrion by Mike Adamson – Launches 24th July 2021
Literary success, to me, would mean scoring serious novel contracts with major publishers—mainstream circulation in the higher five figures and upward, with international reach, including foreign language editions and screen rights sales. This definitely calls for agency representation, and I’m hoping my track record, built up since 2016 in the short story market, will open that particular door.

Witching Hour
by S. Jade Path The veil is always thinnest on Samhain. Kylie cast her spell with trembling fingers, before stepping through the fluttering, gossamer threads and into a world of glittering wonder. Just a quick peek can’t hurt, she thought. *** Distantly, sonorous chimes announced the passing of midnight. The stars winked out as […]
The Messenger
by Constantine E. Kiousis “This it?” Jennifer asked as she pointed at the suburban house opposite them in the dimly lit street. The pale girl standing next to her nodded. Huffing, Jennifer crossed the street, walked up to the front porch, slid a sealed envelope under the door, and knocked before trotting away. Soon, […]
Double Betrayal
by Jaycee Durand Clara trailed her fingertips over the mirror’s chilled glass, her heart tripping at the beckoning reflection. Identical green eyes—but Debra’s derisive smirk. Impossible! We are one. Without me, there is no you. Come. Always belittling. Always controlling. But how do you live on when your other half is dead? Clara sagged […]
