Pulp Ink Part Deux

 Hard-working Chris Rhatigan, editor of the ezine All Due Respect and author of the story collection Watch You Drown, teamed up with the equally hard-working writer Nigel Bird (who just released his novel In Loco Parentis) to create and edit the anthology Pulp Ink. The stories were all inspired by the movie Pulp Fiction and written by 24 of the best short crime fiction authors working today. It proved so successful, Rhatigan and Bird decided to follow it up with a sequel.

PulpInk2Pulp Ink 2, freshly-baked by Snubnose Press, features a mixture of crime and horror, a la "beautiful killers, visions of the apocalypse, blood-thirsty rats, and one severed arm on a quest for revenge. No half-assed reboots here, just some of the finest writing in crime and horror today." I'm proud to be included with the likes of Patti Abbott, Heath Lowrance, Kevin Brown, Mike Miner, Eric Beetner, Matthew C. Funk, Richard Godwin, Cindy Rosmus, Christopher Black, Andrez Bergen, James Everington, W. D. County, Julia Madeleine, Kieran Shea, Joe Clifford, Katherine Tomlinson, R. Thomas Brown and Court Merrigan.

Proceeds go to support the charity PLACE2BE, a school-based counselling service for kids. As Nigel Bird says in his intro: "A full year of weekly counselling sessions are offered within a therapeutic environment. As relationships are built, so is confidence and self-esteem. Families and teaching staff are included in the support so that progress can be continued outside of the therapy room."

Pulp Ink is available in print form from Amazon and various digital formats via Smashwords, Amazon and B&N Nook Books. Go grab a copy and settle down with some fun horro-crime. But you might want to lea
