Hello everybody! It has almost been a year since the premiere of the Mythic Delirium Books anthology A Sinister Quartet. What an astonishing and stressful year it has been — a year of tragedy and resilience. It was absolutely a challenge through that environment to call attention to the release of this odd and not-so-little book (I mean, at a time when people were shying away from dark fiction, we stuck to our course); but hands down. working on A
