LampLight Volume 6

Kl Pereira compiles the sixth installment of LampLight, gathering fiction and interviews published between September 2017 and June 2018. This volume presents a curated selection of short stories and critical articles that explore the darker corners of speculative literature. The collection features contributions from established voices in the horror genre, including Damien Angelica Walters, Chet Williamson, and Gemma Files, alongside emerging talents such as Valerie Alexander, Andrew Reichard, and Sarah Read. Pereira organizes these diverse pieces into a cohesive narrative flow, allowing readers to experience a wide spectrum of supernatural and gothic themes without interruption. The book suits readers who appreciate concise, atmospheric storytelling and critical analysis of the horror form. It offers a snapshot of the genre during a specific twelve-month period, highlighting the variety of styles present in independent publishing at that time. Those seeking lengthy novels or historical anthologies may find this collection too brief or narrowly focused. The inclusion of interviews provides insight into the creative process, while the fiction pieces deliver immediate emotional impact. This compilation serves as a practical resource for fans of short-form horror who wish to discover new authors and understand the current landscape of supernatural fiction through direct engagement with the writers themselves.
