The Shroud Underground

Head on over to my site for an in-depth review of Shroud Magazine Issue 6.

Chances are, if you are in these forums you are already familiar with the Magazine, but give it a read none-the-less.

I'm pleased as punch abou the magazine, it's exactly what I want, like going to Burger King, I got things my way, almost as if Shroud Magazine was tailored specifically for me.

Love the Mag!

Hehe! I am proud to be in that number...

I haven't been able to track down a copy myself yet, but my folks mailed me the one they found in CT (the Milford store if memory serves). The sucker was about 150 pages and I finished it in two nights (mostly just the last), and I could barely put it down. Not only is the fiction inside high-quality, but the production is very slick and well put together with a nice smattering of interviews and reviews to balance the fiction content.

Best of all, when I finished, my creative juices were stirred up enough for a story idea to start forming in my head as I was trying to sleep at 2 in the morning. If that's not the mark of a good literary magazine, I don't know what is.

When I first looked into subbing to Shroud, I had the eeriest sense that this was just the kind of market I'd been looking for, and incidentally, the kind of market one can rarely find. This magazine didn't fail to deliver. It felt a bit like going through a copy of the classic Weird Tales given a contemporary twist (and better quality paper). Count on another submission from me as soon as you open again, Tim.

Thanks guys, for the kind words and support!
