The Australian Horror Writers Association (AHWA) has just released the fourth issue of the semi-annual fiction and poetry magazine, Midnight Echo. AHWA’s Greg Chapman says it “will leave many disturbing images in your head well after you’ve put it down.”
Author Lee Battersby is the editor of Midnight Echo, and says of putting this issue together “It’s hard to pick out any of the works as highlights—after all, I chose them, so I love them all. But I do think we end the issue with a stunning final image—hopefully people will walk away from the final story with that image stuck firmly, and disturbingly, in their frontal lobes.”
The 100-page issue is available from the AHWA’s web site as a $3 pdf, or in print for $11.
