Quote:

Did you ever pour over the translations of old runes or ancient works in another language? There's a feeling of distance between you and the ideas presented: the words make you *feel* the time and space between you and the original. The New Death gives me that sensation in every piece. It's a rare and beautiful thing to have a contemporary piece of writing (of any kind) contain this essence. It invokes mystery, as if you are reading a translation of something ancient.

Review here.

I've recently put out an ebook of my writing. It includes a retelling of Clark Ashton Smith's The Garden of Adompha as a poem. I've also done similar retellings of HP Lovecraft's Under the Pyramids, Robert E. Howard's King Kull story The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune, and Lord Dunsany's Charon.

There's a lot more that should be of interest to people on this forum. Here's the blurb.

Death gets a roommate...

An electronic Pope faces a difficult theological question...

A wicked vizier makes a terrible bargain...

44 stories. 19 poems. No whiny vampires. There's a thin line between genius and insanity, and James Hutchings has just crossed it - but from which direction?

You can get it from Amazon (kindle) or Smashwords (a variety of formats).

Or, you can get a free copy if you agree to do a review, either on your blog or on a relevant forum. If you're interested in doing that, please contact me (news@apolitical.info), letting me know where you'll put the review and what file format is best for you.

Thanks,
James.
