As at Easter (2007) we've receieved stories from nearly 200 writers. Some of these have sent as many as six stories since we opened up for submissions back in September (2006).

That's because they all know that Murky Depths is going to be the most important sci-fi/horror magazine on the market. I, for one, feel very proud to have my work displayed in your 'zine.

Wow! What a great looking magazine. I'm truly excited  

It looks like a Weird Tales/Cemetery Dance/Grave Tales hybrid.

Fantastic. I will submit some scribbles to you.

. . . and it's getting better by the issue . . . and issue #1 was awesome . . .

In translation: I'm going to have to try harder?

I'm the misguided Jo Thomas who keeps sending you email manuscrïpts, btw. Currently deciding what to send you next and starting to dislike the numbers agin me!

This is kind of related to the number of authors / artists who've submitted to Murky Depths...

What's the likelihood of a 'best of' anthology in the future? Especially now that The House Of Murky Depths is publishing novels. I for one think that something along those lines would be a great idea. Maybe a 'best of', once MD hits 10 issues? Or maybe a themed anthology of some sort?

I know a lot of other independent press publishers do this sort of thing. What are everyone's views?

The "Best of" is a great suggestion and one we have been working on. The chances are it will be a hardback and slightly smaller than Murky Depths (by about 10 mm in height). We may well set up a thread to see what readers' twenty favourite stories are to help us decide on its content.

We also plan to publish Luke Cooper's stories as a standalone trade hardback (graphic novel style) and also hopefully Richard Calders "Death and The Maiden" series.

Good idea, Westy. I'll be pushing that at this end.
