thanks! i hope you guys aren't alone in that opinion.. we could have gone straight into issue #1, but we produced this sampler in the hopes of convincing more people that FH is a worthy showcase for their work.

please spread the word to anyone who might like to get involved!

the stats show a bunch of page requests from sites we're linked with... but it's pretty hard to tell who's reading us unless they say something in the forum.

We have a little more than 2 weeks until the 3rd issue (#2). In the meantime, you can visit http://fantastichorror.blogspot.com/ and watch the Fantastic Horror video (2.2 mb in the original format; may take a few minutes to load on dialup connections).

Not really. It's enough that he gets a mention. It keeps the mystery.

He's mentioned in the first census of York County-no more is known of him.
Except that he was a cannibal and a practiconer of Black Magic, but, then, who's perfect?

Fantastic Horror is looking amazing. Is it getting popular any?
Either way I gotta refine my The Library of Sand and send it in to you.
