Dark Prints Press and Eclecticism E-zine present the print anthology featuring the best work from the first two years of the e-zine, plus new and exclusive work from most contributors (including UK Horror author Joseph D'Lacey, winner of the British Fantasy Society's Best Newcomer Award 2009).
In Dark Little Oddities......you will see whether an abused wife can iron out her problems; read of secrets best stayed hidden; medicinal cures for the elderly; romantic, princely conquests; and the fragmented mind of a serial killer.

In Fantastical Twists... ...you will read tales of zombie pet-owners; folken bounty hunters; bizarre rebirths; conspiracy tales involving plastic dolls, a hounded minotaur; the drunken rants of a time-traveller; memory-erasing surgery; and a literal life line. In Obligatory Dramas... ...you will be exposed to thoughts we often push aside, including the joys and pains of parenthood; the aftermath of a broken marriage; lives that never quite travelled down the right path; the ravages of war; and the need to write that perfect story.

reviews

I really enjoyed this truly 'eclectic' collection. It is really hard to give this book a tag of any sort as the strories and poems it contains range from simple fiction to pure fantasy and even horror .... So overall, if you want something unusual, different and truly eclectic, this is the anthology for you.- Cat Sheely, Goodreads

Dark Prints Press' debut anthology is a gripping collection of tales by a cast of darkly imaginative short story writers.- Cameron Trost, Goodreads

From 2007 onwards editor Craig Bezant has sorted through his kaleidoscopic tree of stories to bring us the best Eclecticism E-Zine has to offer in a broad and wide ranging print edition - the first from his newly hatched small press Dark Prints Press. - Matthew Tait, HorrorScope
