Dear Editors,

As you may know, many Small Presses & Writers' Groups send out information to libraries and other writers' groups on a regular basis.

SPELL (small press exchange literature list) is a new mailing list provided to help save these groups money.

The fees are standard. List users pay just £25 to send 300 flyers to 300 libraries or groups. A saving of nearly £100 per mail out.

Our next mailout is November 20th to 300 writers groups.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

New short fiction is required for Front&Centre #4 and #5. The editors--based both in the UK and Canada--are looking for gritty, contemporary fiction, urgent short stories that speak to the temperment of today. We accept no fluff or fantasy! We publish biting realism, blazing writing that sinks in deep. If you've got the brass, send us your best work. Stories up to 4000 words will be considered. The deadline for #4 is 31 December 1999; for #5, 30 June 2000. Please send your work in standard manuscript format, with an accurate word count. Also include a brief biographical note and a SAE with sufficient reply postage. Queries welcome.

In the UK/Europe, send your fiction to:

And while we're calling... how about a call for subscriptions. Like all magazines, F&C needs subscribers to stay afloat. By subscribing you'll receive buckets full of fine new fiction, critical reviews, independent press information and, with each issue, a feature on a writer making his/her mark in either the UK, Canada or both.

F&C #2 is out now, with new fiction by Colin Mackay, Michael Bryson, Jennifer Footman, Rob Payne, and others, plus a feature on erotica writer Maxim Jakubowski. Front&Centre #3, due out in Winter 2000, will contain new short stories by Kenneth J Harvey, David Rose, Raymond Soltysek and others, plus all the other essentials.

To subscribe for one year/two issues in the UK please send five pounds (cheque made payable to M. Firth) and in Canada send ten dollars (cheque made payable to J Copple). Thanks for your support.

Greedings Fellow Horror Fans,

Ol' Churchy here again with another ghoulishly edition of GatheringDarkness for your Horrorween pleasure.

Within this haunting horrorfest I have entombed new bone-chilling fiction by Robert Baker, Lisa Becker, Jason Brannon, Laura Campbell, Michael Christian, Matt Cole, Ian Faust, Richard Gavin, P.K. Graves, Amy Grech, Michael Hansen, Harrison Howe, Carol MacAllister, Barbara Malenky, William Meikle, Rick Mischke & Laura Elvin, Marguerite Mullaney, Michael Malifica Pendragon, Octavio Ramos Jr., Derek W. Wass and Neal Williams.

Plus new perilous poetry and prose from Corrine DeWinter, Kendall Evans, John Grey, Stephanie Bedwell-Grime, Charles Lucien, Michael Pendragon, Tom Piccirilli, Regina T., Charlene Rexford, William P. Robertson, and Doug Snedden.

William P. Robertson, the grue-rue of prose, breaks away from poetry and recalls a horrifying Halloween experience in "Guilty Until Proven Guilty".

And the gore-iffic graphics ofÊthe new GD find, featured artist, Bud Sypeck. Also the artwork of Thomas M. Arenberg, Bob Crouch,Ê David Fode, Chris Friendly, GAK, Susi James, Jason Just, Allen Koszowski, Marge B. Simon, Hugh Vogt, and Kenneth Waters.

Two new fiction reviews from some of our readers in "Reader's Reviews", and more readers voice their opinions in "The Deadletter Box".

If you missed the last few issues of GD, all of the old corpses are still here as well within "TheBoneyard".

You can now sign your mortal soul away within GD's Ghostbook. And please don't forget to sign in blood, it doesn't have to be your blood (tee-hee). Mrs. Churchyard Keeper repaired the bugger.

"Lots" of renovations have been going on at the Churchyard. Terroring down crypts, building grue ones. The entire "fright" has changed to feel more like a real magazine.

So come and explore the terror that awaits you within the Churchyard of Gathering Darkness. I'll leave a plot open for you.

Happy Horrorween,

Churchyard Keeper
Deaditor / Punisher

SFRevu, Ernest Lilley's E-zine of Science Fiction reviews, interviews and news, is back for one last issue in its regular monthly format before morphing into its new form.

Why is it changing? Could it have been Y2K? Maybe, at least in that the new millennia (apologies to 2001 purists) needs a new format. Mostly it's because I wanted to find a format that allowed me to get information out faster, and the current mega-issue style didn't do it.

The SFRevu SFini issue has some good stuff in it, including interviews with L.E. Modesitt, Jr. and Artist Jill Bauman, many pictures from Nasfic/Conucopia '99 and the usual insightful reviews.

Come enjoy the zine at: www.sfrevu.com
