NEW HORROR ANTHOLOGY EXPLORES THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

A new horror anthology, X7 is out now, with seven stories from seven horror authors exploring the seven deadly sins. The collection has just been released from Birmingham's Knightwatch Press, with Derby-based author and literature freelancer Alex Davis having edited the anthology.

The collection includes new and exclusive stories from seven fantastic talents in both horror and dark fantasy, with Alex Bell, Simon Bestwick, Simon Clark, Tom Fletcher, Amelia Mangan, Nicholas Royle and Gaie Sebold. Each author selected their own sin to work on, and in turn produced a story expressing their own take on that concept.

Editor Alex Davis said: 'I was over the moon to be able to hand-pick the authors for this collection, and there are some of the UK's leading writers included. What also impressed me greatly is the subtlety and originality of the tales – each one genuinely surprised and delighted me in its delivery and its take on the old concept of the seven deadly sins.'

The full table of contents for X7 is as follows:
Nicholas Royle, Dead End (Lust)
Amelia Mangan, If I Were You (Envy)
Simon Clark, Gravy Soup (Gluttony)
Alex Bell, The Devil in Red (Wrath)
Simon Bestwick, Stormcats (Greed)
Gaie Sebold, Walls (Pride)
Tom Fletcher, Seagull Island (Sloth)

X7 is available to buy on Amazon as a paperback for £6.99 – simply visit http://www.amazon.co.uk/X7-anthology-Seven-Deadly-Sins/dp/1909573116/
