Horror Story and Other Horror Stories by Robert Boyczuk Released in Trade Paperback by ChiZine and New Release: Graphic Classics: Oscar Wilde
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Horror Story and Other Horror Stories by Robert Boyczuk Released in Trade Paperback and as a Free PDF by ChiZine Publications
TORONTO, Ontario (January 23, 2009) – ChiZine Publications has released its second title, the short story collection Horror Story and Other Horror Stories by Toronto writer Robert Boyczuk, in trade paperback. They are also making the book available as a free PDF download and an MP3 of the story “Falling,” both under Creative Commons Licenses.
Containing 19 stories, five of which have not been previously published, Horror Story and Other Horror Stories revolves around themes dealing with love, loss, relationships gone bad, and jealously. Far from tales of failed romances, however, the title of the book sums up what these tales are: horror stories.
In his Quill & Quire review, Alex Good praised Horror Story and Other Horror Stories, saying that Robert “has a real knack for creepy, Twilight Zone-style atmospherics. . . . (His) stories all have a twist—a turn of the screw—that breathes new life into some of the old forms and results in fiction as clever as it is entertaining.”
Horror Story and Other Horror Stories is currently available online from Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, BarnesAndNoble.com, Horror Mall, and Powell’s Books. Full information can be found on the ChiZine Publications’ website at http://www.chizine.com/chizinepub/books/horror-story.php. Clicking the cover image links to a 300dpi version, which reviewers can use.
Called “a supremely talented short-story writer” by Cory Doctorow, Robert lives in Toronto, Ontario. His work has appeared in On Spec, TransVersions, Prairie Fire, Northern Frights, Dark Planet, Descant, ChiZine, and the Tesseracts and Queer Fear anthology series. He is a multiple Honorable Mention recipient for Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and his short story “Assassination and the New World Order,” which is included in Horror Story and Other Horror Stories, won First Prize in the Prairie Fire Speculative Fiction Writing Contest.
The complete manuscript is also available for download from the ChiZine Publications site as a PDF under an Attribution, Noncommercial, Share Alike 3.0 Creative Commons License. For more information about CC licences, please go to http://creativecommons.org.
The MP3 of the short story “Falling” has been released under a Creative Commons Attribution, Non-Commercial, No Derivatives license. “Falling” is read by Ottawa science fiction and horror writer Matthew Moore.
