mmerriamNorthern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales ToC: #8. "Garbage Man" by R. Scott McCoy
R. Scott McCoy edits one of the best new emerging magazines in the field of horror, Necrotic Tissue. The nice thing is, his sensibilities about horror are close to mine: we want to be frightened, not grossed out. I've sat on many panels and had more than a few discussion with him, and I always walk away having learned something new about publishing.
"Garbage Man" was a hard sell for me, simply because horror was going to be a hard sell for both me and the publisher. This story is the kind of horror that creeps up on you, even though you think you can see it coming. Understated, dark, written with an economy of words, I wish more horror was of this type and caliber.
"Garbage Man" was originally published in The New Bedlam Project #1, July 2009.
