From the the mists of 21st century antiquity we bring you a back issue of the magazine that went on to win back-to-back British Fantasy Awards in 2011 & 2012. Six years ago (September 2007) the first issue of Black Static was printed but problems with that first print run delayed its arrival in the wider world until September. Hence August 2013 is an anniversary of sorts and we celebrate with a Kindle edition of Black Static's very first issue.
This issue contains stories by Simon Avery, Jamie Barras, Daniel Bennett, M.K. Hobson, Joel Lane & Tim Casson. Joel's story won the British Fantasy Short story Award in 2008. It also has columns from Christopher Fowler, Mike O'Driscoll, John Paul Catton and Stephen Volk. Peter Tennant's Case Note book review section begins with a feature on the fiction of Michael Marshall Smith and then moves on to reviewing six 'Books with Bite' and 7 more books which don't feature vampires. Tony Lee reviews ghastly events on DVD.
Black Static is essentially a fiction magazine containing short stories in the horror and dark fantasy genres. But it covers other aspects of the genre via reviews of books, movies, DVDs and TV.
