BLOOD MOON RISING #55

Just received a free digital copy of Blood moon Rising #55 from the folks at BMR. They didnt have to do that, but when an issue does well for them, they send their contributors one. This issue has my story "DUST TO DUST" which also will be featured in another anthology coming up, sharing pages with Ramsey Campbell.

Rogue Planet Press Submissions Call: The Black Hand Supremacy

World War One has ended. The world lies in ruins. One corporation is poised for world domination and one man is hell-bent on keeping that from happening. Using his skills in Magic, Alastor (aka Talbot Carruthers) sets out to take revenge on the corporation that rules Zenith city (formerly Sarajevo) after Synthetic Men murder his wife.

All stories should contain the characters of Alastor/Talbot Carruthers, Ronald Pryor (CEO of Illusion Inc.) And his right hand man, Gavril Princip. Stories should be about their epic battle, good vs evil. 2,000 words-7,000 words.

Contact Mark Slade ANIMALMOTHER16@MSN.COM for in-depth guidelines before submitting stories.
