Böcker av Davies Dorothy Davies

There are many other worlds, most appear in fiction but how many are based on real life? How many could we access if we found the right way in, the right key, the right password? Other Worlds offers you a brief glimpse of possibilities of some of these strange, often dangerous, occasionally endearing worlds, where death walks on silent feet and the access to the world is capable of being closed - for how long...This anthology contains the following: - Nothing Else Like Returning Home - Rickey Rivers Jr Congregation - Dorothy Davies The Primal Assassin - John Keane Miles To Go - Rie Sheridan Rose Soulbane - F G Laval Identity Crisis - Geoff Nedler Butterfly - Dorothy Davies The Retrieval - Rie Sheridan Rose Across a Broken Bridge - Rickey Rivers Jr In Space No One Can Hear You Sing - F G Laval Bugged - Rie Sheridan Rose Five Card Shuffle - David Turnbull Fool's Hope - Michael B Fletcher Replication - Dorothy Davies Do Humanoids Breathe Electric Air? - Dona Fox

As a medium I am used to spirits walking in and working with me. There are a lot of books out there with my name on, all of which have been dictated by spirit authors. Richard Laymon arrived some time before we actually began work on the novel he wanted to write: he was just there, a companion whilst I fought my way through the process of getting the first channelled book into the public arena. Once the book was published, he began hinting that it would be rather fun to begin something which was not historical, which we did. We then started to write what felt like a non-stop stream of short stories which have been published in anthologies, both print and on-line. Richard asked me to collect them into a separate anthology as we worked.In my computer the file was marked 'Richard's anthology', knowing that sooner or later the right title would appear. I thought for a while it would be When Our Graves Grow Cold, initially the first story in the collection (and my all time favourite) but it didn't happen because Bela Lugosi arrived to collaborate on the novel (which explained why it stalled for some weeks, the two men were in discussions) and I went looking at Bela's official website. His startling image and unmistakeable voice saying 'I bid you welcome...' was all I needed - we had at last pinned down a title. Bela wrote stories with me, as did many others who walked in, smiling, offering their tales of death and destruction. Some only came once, having said what they wanted to say, others returned to give me more stories. My grateful thanks go to Roald Dahl, Edith Wharton, Charles L Grant, Virgil Grissom and Yul Brynner for their welcome contributions. Most of the collection was written by Richard Laymon, that I know. There was no mistaking the oft-times evil chuckle when he wrote something particularly gory...!The invitation is sent out. Richard, Bela, all the other contributing writers and I bid you welcome to a set of stories that will, we trust, entertain and possibly chill you as you read late at night. Enjoy.
