Download Echoes for free!
August 27th, 2009
The 200 numbered hard copies of Horror Reanimated I: Echoes are gone.
Bill, Mathew and I had mixed emotions about where they went. Some of them did find their way into the hands of horror enthusiasts, collectors and those few lost souls who count themselves among our fans. I suspect more of them, however, ended up in the bin unread. We handed copies to anyone who talked to us on the Horror Reanimated UK tour – those were the rules.
Some of those folks took the chapbook and bought copies of either Bill’s or my novels. Others just took the chapbook and walked away delighted, knowing they’d got something for free. A terrifying number hadn’t mastered spoken English, let alone the written kind. Beings who had no place in a bookshop. Men with missing teeth and unwashed hair barely contained by black baseball caps. Yeah, see me? Yeah? I fucking love horror, me. Saw. Hostel. Fucking love it. Then these dirt encrusted individuals would about face with our rare, precious volume and leave the shop without another word. And you just knew they were taking it home to use as a crossbow target in the backyard because all the local cats were already dead.
So, if you managed to get one, great. And if you didn’t, well, all is not lost. We’re now making the chapbook available as a pdf download. Right here. Right now. And we sincerely hope you enjoy it for things other than target practice.
Let us know!

Excellent!! I was a bit late getting on the Horror Reanimated train and have since read the offerings from JD’L and BH and have loved them all. both are among the few modern horror writers who I believe can successfully compete with the past masters of the genre.
I tried in vain to track down a copy of this to make my collection complete, but all efforts were futile. At last I can see what it has to offer.
Thanks guys!
A guaranteed Constant Reader.

That’s our pleasure, Terry.
Thanks for your very kind words - I certainly hope we’ll continue to satisfy…

You really think that some copies were trashed?!? That’s terrible!

[...] review Bill Hussey’s novels but wanted to get this up now, because they’ve made Echoes available as a free download. I feel rather luckier than you, because I have one of the limited edition copies. [...]

I feel lucky that i got one of the ‘real’ copies. Better than the pdf! But i’ll be tweeting about this (@mmSeason) so those who didn’t catch the limited edition print run can benefit.
I’ve just reviewed Echoes too on the Travel Hopefully Blog: http://travelhopefully.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/review-horror-reanimated-echoes/ - told you i would sooner or later! :0)

ps Just tried clicking through to Joseph D’Lacey’s Online Fiction from your sidebar, and only ‘Lenses’ opens. ‘Gaolbreak’ comes to an error message and the other two lead to this: ‘This web site at theharrow.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked’ (there’s a link to find out why). Thought you’d like to know.

Thanks for the heads-up on this too. I’ll check out the links and try to find out what’s wrong…

Excellent news! .
I was a little disappointed that living on the underside of the world* meant that it was unlikely I would get hold of this, so a big “thankyou guys!” from Upsidedown Land.

Loved “Through a Glass Darkly” and almost finished Absence after three days of buying it. Can’t wait to read this one too.
