Darker Minds

Posted by Joe Mynhardt on Monday, January 30, 2012, In : My Fiction 


After the success of the first Dark Minds anthology (nominated for anthology of the year at ThisIsHorror.co.uk), I’m happy to say that Dark Minds Press decided to launch a second anthology, appropriately named Darker Minds. The cover artist is the award-winning Ben Baldwin.
