Am very proud to have a story in this wide ranging and high quality collection. Love the range (cyberpunk to cosmic to quiet horror with lots of inbetweeners and unclassifiables) and the focus on newer writers.Personal favorites were Bates' 'Used Clothes', Raab's "Observer/Experiencer", Marley's "Anemone" and Landry's "I Will Find you, Even in the Dark"
A terrific introduction to many new-to-me authors and a delicious smorgasbord of horror, the weird, and dark f&sf. Highly recommended.
Dim Shores always delivers. A great roulette of writers showcasing the weird horrors of the summer bi-annual’s first volume. Looking forward to the Winter issue.My favorites:-Many Lives Theory - Christopher Burke-Silver Bells And Cockle Shells - Richard Staving-Used Clothes - Paul L. Bates-Root And Branch - Jen Downes
I really enjoyed reading all these different stories, and luckily most of them weren't as creepy as the cover suggests. The biggest problem with these short stories is that they leave you wanting so much more! The stories I loved the most were Walls of white, Observer/experiencer and Root and branch.
A nice first entry for a nice new anthology series of original works (not, as you might expect, all weird/horror, but with some science fiction and fantasy sprinkled in as well) from a publisher mostly known for their chapbooks. Many Lives Theory (Christopher Burke) Grief, haunted houses, existentialism, dystopian capitalism, this ran a very real risk of being overstuffed but it works. Echoes of Forlesen (a very good thing), Control, Ligotti, and Steve Rasnic Tem’s criminally obscure “At the Bur...
A great grouping of stories. I found the blend of genres to be wonderfully fresh and compatible. Some really great tales in here too.
DIM SHORES PRESENTS, Vol. 1, Summer 2020 is the brainchild of Sam Cowan, who—for anyone who does not know—solicited, for the first time ever, short fiction (of the 6000 words or longer variety) for two planned stand-alone novelettes. Happily, the submittals he received surpassed his expectations yielding both the planned novelettes as well as two unplanned anthologies, this being the first of them.At thirteen tales, and almost 300 pages, it is a packed anthology, beautifully presented. It is als...
Dim Shores Presents Volume 1 is a good cross section of the kind of works Dim Shores publishes. It's an anthology, so not everything is going to be to everyone's taste, especially considering the breadth of stuff Dim Shores publishes. But that also means that, whatever your tastes, you're going to find something you like. You'll also probably read something you normally wouldn't and you may discover something great.Recommended for anyone looking to discover something new.
