RHONDDA LOVEBITE


I'd been reading a lot of Richard Stark/Parker and I had it in mind to do a pastiche, Rhondda Lovebite was the result and can be read over on:

A TWIST OF NOIR


"This was both a sort of pastiche of Parker and an original on its own merits and a very enjoyable read.I'd like to see more of Stanton if you've got it in you." Said Christopher Grant, the editor of the noir webzine.

Check out the short story HERE but be warned there's violence, language and all sort of shit going on.

NEW FICTION ONLINE

The Way to a Man's Heart is a curious story for me. I was never sure if it was comedy, horror, noir or what. It was originally going to be published on Beat to a Pulp but after a rewrite it clashed with two other stories the webzine had in the works and so, David Cramer reluctantly suggested I try another webzine for it. Still, unsure of the story, I sent it to A Twist of Noir and got this response.

Gary,

THE WAY TO A MAN'S HEART is now up at A Twist Of Noir.

I think the outstanding thing about this story is, while it's about
cannibalism as a last resort, it's funny as hell.

Nothing wrong with a comedic noir or crime story.

I think my favorite line is how Rose came at Stanley "like junk mail".
Cracked me up good.

Excellent story and I think you'll get a great response from the readers.

Christopher


Anyway, the story's up so take a look HERE

Let me know what you think.
