nEvermore!
Recapturing the pleasures of Poe-inspired Gothic tales by today's
Masters of Mystery & Macabre
Many anthologies of short fiction exist.
nEvermore! Tales of Murder, Mystery and the Macabre is different.
Help us bring back the kind of stories Edgar Allan Poe wrote by choosing one of the perks to the right. (Click on the Gallery tab above to see photos.)
Poe is the father of the modern detective story. And his genius at writing dark, supernatural tales and poems is legendary. Poe wrote at a time when genres didn't exist. Readers wanted a good story; how it fit on a bookstore shelf didn't matter. We want to recapture that sense of excitement and discovery of short fiction.
nEvermore! will bring together mystery writers who include a slash of the supernatural and dark fantasy/horror writers who slip across the shadows and touch on the mystery genre. This will be a 'big book', an homage to the glorious, Gothic style of the master, Edgar Allan Poe, bringing Poe-inspired fiction into the 21st century. A book that will revive and refresh all of us who love to read short fiction! Help us create this unusual anthology. Be a part of it!

What We Have
We have a publisher!
We have entered into a joint venture with Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing, a well established small publisher with good print distribution in the US and Canada to major chains and independents, and of course worldwide for ebooks. We are extremely happy to be working with Edge and are grateful for their support.
What We Need
We need funds!
Why? Because this venture follows the growing trend of making small projects from non-major presses into big books that are able to pay professional rates and get lots more promotion just like the big guys.
Yes, our publisher will handle formatting, printing and distribution of nEvermore! But there are many other expenses involved, and in this joint venture those are on us - namely paying the authors and promoting the book in every way we can as the big book we know it to be.
Our wonderful writers from the New York Times bestseller list expect it and we think all the others including our first-time published authors deserve it, too.
We also need to promote nEvermore! in a major way to ensure that this anthology gets the attention we believe it deserves.
To make all this happen, we need your support! Donate now, and help bring this anthology to life...
