London is currently in the midst of a heatwave (which would be no more than a mildly warm day to any of you living in actual hot climates), and our thoughts turn, naturally enough, to ... zombies. Well, OK, that has more to do with this issue of Dark Fire than it does with the heat — and zombies in a cooler climate must be way more pleasant to smell — but zombies it is for the Dark Fire editorial team. And why? Our Feature Fiction is a great atmospheric zombie tale titled They Always Get Inside in the Films, by Luke Walker — and this is his second Feature Fiction in a row! Congratulations!
And there are more zombies in this issue's review of The War of the Worlds — Plus Blood, Guts and Zombies by H.G. Wells and Eris S. Brown.
In this issue we also have fiction from Neil Davies with The Killing Tree, which seems to attract car accidents, and from James Lecky with a story about a roaming mercenary and how he discovers The Sins of the Land. Sean Michael Smith has contributed a short tale of woe and empowerment in Catharsis, and William Wilde's story Paper Cut describes how an annoyance turns into something much worse.
We are open to submissions of fiction, articles, reviews or books to review, and cover art. Check our guidelines page for more details. The next issue of Dark Fire will be available at the start of September, and we hope you'll be back then for more great fiction!
