again . . . NULL IMMORTALIS! !!

Des Lewis' NI is getting praised.


"Have been quietly enjoying Null Immortalis: "The Shell" is a once-in-a-century story of outstanding importance."

"There is no story which I haven't dug. A collection of smaller and greater masterpieces."

There's more, but you get the idea. 26 tales of wonder. Many may well appear on BEST OF lists when the year comes to a close. have you read this fine collection yet? You should! !!


NI is here:

Des Lewis has been talking NULL . . . My turn!

Des Lewis, the editor of NEMONYMOUS (2001 - 2010), has sadly, closed the gates to this haven of wonder. But before strolling off to districts where he will, hopefully(! !!), find time to gift us w/ more of his fine fiction, he has left one last gift . . . NULL IMMORTALIS.

Look at the array of gifted writers [Reggie Oliver, Joel Lane, Gary Fry, Richard Gavin, Steve Rasnic Tem, and Mark Valentine, are but a few] who have created soul-stirring wonder and thought provoking deeps between these covers.

Those minds, those hearts—Did you sigh? I did.

Des is also doing a “real-time” review of NULL on his site, a kind of director’s commentary on the fascinating tales he’s collected for this tome. Neat idea.

As I have said many times now, I am delighted/humbled/over the moon, to have been lucky enough to have had a tale included in this marvelous collection.

Thank you, Des.

And to the writers, thank you for sharing your vision and your mighty talents! !!

A Review of Null Immortalis

I had the very great pleasure of having one of my tales appear in this wonderful collection alongside an array of truly gifted writers. The first review is in and it is a rave. Congrats to Des Lewis for his care and selection of tales and to all the writers who spin fine marvels on the pages of NI.

Here's the details:

First review: http://matthewfryer.com/2010/07/23/null-immortalis-nemonymous-ten/ "I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys an anthology to savour. The subtleties, the synchronicity, the love of language. It cares not for genre, other than the general blanket of weird fiction, and blends imagination with startling humanity. The stories are ordered so that themes sometimes leak from one to the next, but best of all, they credit the reader with intelligence; there is no unecessary explanation of thread or coincidence. Null Immortalis is a respectful equal, not a weary teacher."
