Cemetery Dance #29
This issue of Cemetery Dance magazine (Volume 8, Issue 4, 1998) collects dark fiction and interviews. Featured stories include Chaz Brenchley's "The Day I Quit Smoking," where a narrator equates quitting cigarettes with committing murder—suggesting premeditation and psychological torment; Hugh B. Cave's "Red"; Bryn Kanar's "Four of a Kind"; Jack Ketchum's "When the Penny Drops"; and an excerpt from Norman Partridge's novelette "Wildest Dreams" about ghosts. Nonfiction includes Tyson Blue's "A Visit to the Storm of the Century Set," Mark Graham's essay on David Morrell's unpublished prologues, and interviews with Hugh B. Cave, Ed Bryant, Michael Marshall Smith, David Morrell, and David B. Silva. The issue announces Cemetery Dance's expansion to bi-monthly publication and plans for upcoming fiction by Douglas Clegg, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Joe R. Lansdale.
