As promotion for the new round of anthology releases, Flame
Tree invited authors to respond to some questions with brief passages which
could be compiled on the company blog. Two posts went up where you’ll find
comments from me about my piece.
There wasn’t room to do all three from each writer, so
here’s the third of my passages (dealing with inspirational sources for my
story An Echo of Gondwana):
What are your favourite stories from this genre? (can be
films/artworks/other mediums too, or authors/film directors/artists)
“Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, of course; and King Kong must be listed; Burroughs’ The Eternal Savage and The Land That Time Forgot. The writings
of Lovecraft, Howard, Smith, Carter and others have many evocative passages
which bring the “lost worlds” concept into focus.”
I hope to place with Flame Tree in
future as their list expands, and if I can then this anthology may be thought
back on of as the start of an excellent partnership! The volume is at press at
this time and should be available in the weeks ahead.
Cheers, Mike Adamson
