Great Anthology News
Back when I was just a guy who loved to read books and hadn’t thought of writing my own, I was blown away by the genre hopping greatness of this Texan dude named Joe R. Lansdale. He could effortlessly go from western to comedy to horror to high drama without missing a beat. I’ve been an ardent fan for decades and thought meeting him 2 years ago was the high point of my fanaticism.
Well, I was wrong. The high point is now! My story, Scab, is in the Morpheus Tales Weird Fiction Vol 2 anthology, alongside a story by my hero, Senor Lansdale. 
From the publisher :

Lovely cover, ain’t it? I’m so thrilled to be a part of this, I feel compelled to find some Lone Star and celebrate!

Congrats, Hunter! I’m so happy for you! You serve as an inspiration I hope to follow!
Hunter, congrats on your news. But alas, the cover art I do not like.
Maybe because I am a woman and don’t want that to happen to me!
The cover is hard to take. Even if it were a man, I’d be uncomfortable with the image. The fact that the subject is a woman is probably calculated to up the ante in our sense of unease; in that respect, it absolutely works.
I agree that it’s a rough cover. I was at the Ripley’s museum yesterday with my daughter and they had an entire room dedicated to torture methods. Made me think of this cover.
I have no arguement there. It’s a tough one to take, I agree.
Probably a little close to home for me as a survivor of domestic violence, but from their marketing stand point it works for them I’m sure. That being said, I still love to read horror!!
I can’t even imagine how excited you must be, Hunter! To be published alongside an author you admire must be a great feeling. Congratulations!!
It’s pretty mind blowing. Never thought something like this would happen.
You’ve earned it!!!!!!
