'SAINT D--'

'That winter the small Pyrenean town was clasped by coldness of the cruellest kind… the kind that – in humans at least – hoarsens the voice, blanches the hair, freezes the blood, and makes bones – and minds – brittle. Everything in the mountain settlement had frozen… in a way that few – if any – who lived there could recall...'

From 'Saint D--' by Matthew G. Rees

Matthew G. Rees, whose story 'Saint D--' is set in a snowbound small town in the Pyrenees,  said:

'I'm really pleased this book is "out there".  I was delighted to be asked by publishers Dark Lane to contribute a story in tandem with Charles Wilkinson, a writer for whom many - with good reason - have such high regard.
'I hope that readers will find our tales rewarding and that, generally, people will get behind what I feel is an interesting and innovative project by those at Dark Lane, an independent small press that's been supportive of writers in this field of short fiction for a number of years now.'
