Talie Helene

For Immediate Release

Black Box is the sequel to the critically-acclaimed Shadow Box charity e-anthology (Brimstone Press, 2005). Going even further than the preceding release, Black Box is a comprehensive interdisciplinary dark arts release, as editor Shane Jiraiya Cummings explains.

“Shadow Box had sound effects, but at the time I wanted to do more. I had literature, visual arts, and sound effects, I wanted to branch out and add some local music into the mix and make Black Box more than just a sequel. In the end, Black Box became something truly unique – a nexus for dark artists of all persuasions. The artistic mix gelled surprisingly well. So well, in fact, that Black Box morphed into a double-CD compilation – an electronic anthology (including songs and music videos) and a bonus audio disk.”

On sale as a two-disk set for only $12.95, Black Box contains:

About The Australian Horror Writers’ Association

The Australian Horror Writers Association (AHWA) is a non-profit organisation that formed in 2003 as a way of providing a unified voice and a sense of community for Australian writers of dark fiction, while helping the development and evolution of this genre within Australia.

AHWA aims to become the first point of reference for writers and fans of the dark side of literature in Australia; to spread the acceptance and improve the understanding of what horror is in literature to a wider audience, and in doing so gain a greater readership for established and new writers alike.
