They know me so well! Murky Depths has picked up the SFX “Fanzine of the Month” gong for a 3rd time.
It wasn’t until I met up with Terry from Murky Depths this weekend that I found out that “The Escape Artist” was given a special mention.

“The Escape Artist”, the first collaboration between myself and Rick Lundeen (artist on “The Dark”), is now available in Murky Depths issue #9.
A tale of magic, love, death, and ouija boards, it will hopefully chill the spine and warm the heart in equal measure.
For anyone who hasn’t seen Rick’s artwork on this, here’s a sneak preview …

I received the finished lettered artwork yesterday for “The Escape Artist”.
Quite simply, it looks fantastic!
Sadly I can’t preview much of the art here without blowing the story, but hopefully my gushing praise for Rick’s work and the small sample we can make available will convince you to seek this story out when it appears in a future issue of Murky Depths.
Rick and I are now talking about partnering up for some new projects in the future, so hopefully I will have the opportunity to wax lyrical about his artwork again …

Rick Lundeen will be handling art duties on my upcoming story for Murky Depths, “The Escape Artist”.
Rick’s artwork looks fantastic. I can’t show you much without giving away some of the story, but here is sample that hopefully showcases Rick’s talent and gives a few hints as what you can expect from the story.
And of course, I’m only going to hint the “The Escape Artist” is not entirely what it seems …

Those fine folks at Murky Depths will be publishing my new short horror strip “The Escape Artist” in an upcoming edition of their quarterly tome of genre fiction.
No word on an artist as yet, I’ll post as soon as I know, but if you like water traps, dirty cafes, and murderous ghosts … this one has it all!
