WITHERSIN MAGAZINE
PRESENTS:
Withersin’s Unkindness Anthology v1
(a
collection of 13 dark, different and pleasantly sinister tales with a twist)
Take 13 authors with 13 tales and strain them through Withersin's unusual filter and what do you get: something
interesting.
The stories run the gamut from inverted realities to a cthulhuesque
western. The theme is the bizarre with a couple of gross-outs thrown in for
good humor.
Overall I really enjoyed this little book. Anthologies from small presses are
wonderful gifts that introduce us to authors that we wouldn't normally find on
our own. Unkindness not only provides us with some good starting places it
drops a few forks in the road for us to further explore. Unkindness also
breathes a fresh breath while avoiding common cliché plots in short horror
fiction. I will be impatiently awaiting the next volume.
