In the darkness I play, under the leaves and eaves, walking the pathways to explore The Black Garden.
Another acceptance to announce, as I’ve signed and returned the contract tonight. Christopher Allen Death of Corpulent Insanity has accepted “The Legless Ones” for The Black Garden anthology. More information on the Books page.
