Discover a New Writer: Brett Alexander Savory

Updated: Guest Blogging and Free Stories

The Canadian Indie magazine called Broken Pencil has enlisted Stoker Award winner Brett Alexander Savory, Editor-in-Chief of ChiZine: Treatments of Light and Shade in Words to be the Indie Artist in Residence for this month’s Horror issue.

During November, Mr. Savory is the guest blogger for the Broken Pencil website. The major theme of most of his posts is “Horror fiction that doesn’t suck!” and he has given me a number of books I need to pick up and read. I heartily recommend you check out these posts and see if something doesn’t appeal to you taste for horror, dark fantasy and excellence in writing.

Mr. Savory with kind permission from Shane at Delirium Books has also made his short story collection No Further Messages available as an Adobe Acrobat download on his website.

This is a rare opportunity to try out an author for free. You owe it to yourself to download No Further Messages, try a few stories and see if he doesn’t click for you. Then, if he does, you can purchase the collection, his novel In and Down or one of his other books listed on his author’s list.

Update:

Mr. Savory and Dave Barnett at Necro Publications have made his novel The Distance Travelled available as an Adobe Acrobat download on his website.

This is a second opportunity to try out an author for free. You owe it to yourself to download The Distance Travelled, and check out the story. Read about the novel on the Necro Publications website.

If you like it, you can purchase the novel or its sequel The Distance Travelled: A Little Slice of Heaven on his author’s list.
