jenny barber writer, anthology editor, geek wanderer skip to content home about me bibliography as editor ancient wonders urban mythic #1 urban mythic #2 wicked women non-fiction let’s try cartomancy let’s try dowsing let’s try tarot contact random links shiny stuff ← older posts interview with mark morris posted on september 25, 2018 | leave a comment today i am delighted to welcome author and editor mark morris to the site to chat about his latest anthology new fears 2 , the joys of short fiction, and all things horror! 18 th september saw the launch of your latest anthology new fears 2 – what kind of fearsome tales can we look forward to seeing in it? as in the first volume, the stories extend the genre in all sorts of weird and wonderful directions. some are very dark, some are fantastical, some are humorous, and some may not at first glance seem like horror stories at all. they’re all united, though, by the fact that they get under your skin and unsettle you. more than anything, i hope they show that the horror genre is an incredibly vibrant, varied and imaginative place right now. the new fears series specifically celebrates non-themed horror – what appeals to you about keeping the remit so open? and what are your aims for future volumes? i was brought up reading the pan and fontana books of horror stories – not to mention many other non-themed anthologies. i’ve nothing against themed anthologies – i’ve read some excellent ones – but i do find them a bit restrictive sometimes, both as a writer and a reader. keeping the anthology non-themed both allows writers to let their imaginations roam wherever they may, and also showcases what a vast and infinitely inventive genre horror can be. i love the fact that you can read new fears not knowing what kind of story to expect next. life is full of surprises, and these two volumes mirror that. as for future volumes, at the moment it’s looking as though there won’t be any, i’m afraid. even though the first volume of new fears received fantastic reviews, was included on various ‘best horror of the year’ lists, and has been nominated for several awards, the anthology simply hasn’t sold well enough for titan to commission any further volumes. it’s nothing to do with whether the anthology is themed or non-themed, it’s simply a sad fact that anthologies don’t sell well unless there are massive names involved (and i’m talking people whose novels sell millions of copies like stephen king and neil gaiman). unfortunately to get those kinds of names you have to be prepared to pay them vast amounts of money – but because anthologies don’t sell well, publishers are reluctant to commit themselves to big advances, added to which i personally believe that all contributors to an anthology should get the same rate of payment, and so you’re stuck in a vicious circle of little money, which means limited publicity, which means low sales, which inevitably leads to premature cancellation. as a passionate short story reader and horror fan you’ve stated that short fiction is the life-blood of the horror genre – what are the qualities of a good short horror story for you? what horror tropes turn you off? a good horror story for me is simply one that surprises me, or thrills me, or does something new, or compels me to read on. i try not to impose restrictions on myself, and if i were to list my favourite horror stories, it’s unlikely you’d find many points of similarity between them. by the same token, i’m not opposed to horror tropes as such, because i still think there’s plenty of scope for telling great stories involving vampires, werewolves, zombies or whatever. what i don’t like, though, are tired old clichés, or simplistic revenge stories, or stories whose endings you can see coming from the first page or two. so many of the submissions i received for new fears were competently written, but showed no spark of creativity whatsoever. the vast majority of them were tainted by the curse of predictability, and therefore lay lifeless on the page. you’ve said elsewhere that your first taste of horror fiction was through the short fiction found in such anthologies as the armada, pan, and fontana horror and ghost story collections – who are your favourite short horror authors, and what short horror stories do you keep coming back to? one early favourite – and to contradict what i just said, this is a simplistic revenge story, but beautifully told – was nigel kneale’s ‘the pond’, the ending of which still gives me a delicious thrill whenever i read it, because it’s just so right . another story i read as an adolescent that still resonates with me is ‘green fingers’ by r.c. cook, which appeared in the 3 rd fontana book of great horror stories . ‘which one?’ by r. chetwynd-hayes was another story i loved – that one appeared in the 17 th fontana book of great ghost stories . in terms of their entire output, however, my list of favourite genre short story writers would include m.r. james, robert aickman, roald dahl, ray bradbury, ramsey campbell, dennis etchison, nicholas royle, stephen volk, steve rasnic tem, alison moore, rob shearman… oh, god, i wish i hadn’t started this now, because the more i think about it, the more names spring to mind. there have been some outstanding short story collections in recent years: all the fabulous beasts by priya sharma, probably monsters by ray cluley, north american lake monsters by nathan ballingrud, never trust a rabbit by jeremy dyson… i’m sure there are plenty of others i’ve forgotten – but suffice to say, we are blessed with great story writers in this genre. absolutely blessed. how did you get started with editing short fiction? when and how did you realise it was something you wanted to do, and who were/are your editor influences? editing anthologies and writing stories and novels have pretty much been my joint ambitions ever since i started out in the genre – in fact, ever since i started reading books as a child. the pans, fontanas and armadas started me off, which i guess mean that my earliest editor influences were herbert van thal, robert aickman, ron chetwynd-hayes, christine barnard, rosemary timperley and especially mary danby. there have been other landmark anthologies along the way – new terrors and superhorror , both edited by ramsey campbell, dark forces edited by kirby mccauley, prime evil edited by douglas winter and cutting edge edited by dennis etchison. then, of course, there are the numerous anthologies edited by charles l. grant, stephen jones and ellen datlow, which i’ve devoured over the years. as for how i personally got started, it had always been my ambition – and still is – to edit an annual, long-running, non-themed anthology series in the tradition of the pan and fontana books, though i guess more in the style of charlie grant’s shadows series, which featured all-new stories by contemporary writers rather than a combination of new stories and classic reprints. after pitching the idea to various publishers over the years, and getting nowhere, i finally persuaded simon marshall-jones at spectral press, who was making great inroads in the genre at that time, to say yes. i edited two volumes of the spectral book of horror stories , but by volume two it was clear that the company was in serious financial trouble and probably wouldn’t last much longer. realising i’d have to start again, i therefore approached titan and made the same pitch to my excellent editor cath trechman, who loved the idea and has remained incredibly supportive of new fears throughout. for a long time the book was going to be called the titan book of horror stories , but quite late on the sales team at titan decided they wanted a less specific title, and so it was renamed new fears – a title which was suggested, as i recall, by alison littlewood, and which i liked because it paid homage to ramsey campbell’s new terrors , which, as i’ve already said, was a big influence on me. somewhat optimistically
