Pete Crowther is one of the genre’s good people. He’s a fine editor, a terrific writer and, if all reports are true, a great guy I (we’ve not actually met). Yesterday I received a copy of his latest, Postscripts 3, which he edits along with Nick Gevers and assorted other talented folk.

Normally I would have set such things aside, because I really should be doing an enormous amount of other things instead, but … I wanted something to read. I flicked to the last story in the issue – I know you slave on getting running order right, but does anyone actually read that way – which is a Joe Hill story, “Best New Horror”. I’ve not read much of Hill’s work before, but I really liked this dark piece of fiction about a year’s best horror editor confronting true horror in the world. Made me wonder if Hill knows Steve Jones . Apart from recommending the story to some pals, it’s really made me look forward to Hill’s upcoming collection.

I should probably say here that I’ve read all three issues of Postscripts, and it’s evolving into a really interesting magazine that’s well worth your support. I think you can subscribe here, and you probably should. Pete’s stuff is good, and worth getting.
