The launch of Andrew Humphrey's collection of short stories, "Other Voices", will take place on 1st March 2008 from 7:30pm at Jurnets Bar, Wensum Lodge, Norwich. It's a fantastic little venue, and if you can't be there in person you could be there in spirit by buying the book and reading it simultaneously as the launch commences!

Andy's novel, "Alison" (TTA Press), will also be launched at the same time.

Here's some information about "Other Voices":

Andrew Humphrey follows up his acclaimed first collection, "Open The Box", with another twelve stories of loss and abandonment, fear and greed. Moving through the genres of urban horror, science fiction, crime and slipstream, Humphrey examines the effects of the fantastic upon the personal, whether through future dystopias, a missing child, climatic change, or repeated infidelity. His characters live in edgy realities and shifting fantasies, their existence tied to the inevitability of fate: something they struggle against as much as they embrace.

The book features an introduction by Eric Brown.
