Mg Ellington recently interviewed me about Dark Faith 2 and the process of creating an anthology. If you’d like to peek behind the curtain and see how the sausage is made, this is your chance. Random bits about upcoming projects, editorial preferences, and talking animals included at no extra charge.

Slice of Darkness Interview: Jerry Gordon

SF Signal Interview

Jerry Gordon — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 16:07:19 +0000

After publishing a very positive review of Dark Faith, the masterminds behind SF Signal asked Maurice Broaddus and I to drop by their podcast for an interview. In it we talk about the behind the scenes process of putting together an anthology, our upcoming books King Maker (out in two short weeks) and Severed Dreams, and where to find some of our short fiction. The interview starts around the 18 minute mark for those of you with more interest than time. Click the logo below to check it out…

All Things "Dark Faith"

Jerry Gordon — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 23:24:07 +0000

The release of Dark Faith has turned this summer into a blur of interviews and reviews. To make information on the book easier to find, I put together this page of sample stories, interviews, reviews, and podcasts.

If you’re interested in the book and still sitting the fence, you’ll find no better place to convince you to order… or at least badger your local library to order a copy for you (most have a special fund for patron suggestions). If you order Dark Faith directly from Apex Publishing, you’ll receive Last Rites, a limited-edition chapbook, for free. Dark Faith is also available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders. Or if you prefer electronic form, you can get it for the Kindle and iPad.

Book Trailer:

Dark Faith:

Faith. So much of our reality is determined by what we believe, and it can so easily be… undone. Editors Maurice Broaddus and Jerry Gordon have created an anthology that explores, questions, and shatters the boundaries of faith.

Pick up a gun and write a new psalm with Brian Keene. Confront the inhumanity of modern society with Gary Braunbeck. Find magic behind the suburbs of Portland with Jay Lake. Walk the line between art and desire with Tom Piccirilli. Through twenty-six stories you will be transported from the rooftops of the twin towers to steps of the Vatican.

Review Blurbs:

“It may be the best anthology I’ve ever read…reads like a “Year’s Best” rather than a nominee for it.”
~Horror Web

“Terrible beauty and mind-shattering horror. It’s all here, in what’s sure to be one of the year’s best anthologies.”
~ Shroud Magazine

“No matter what your ideas about heaven or hell or religion (or lack therof) are, this book is designed to challenge you, to make you think, and most importantly, to entertain you.”
~ Sevier County News
