"By Her Hand, She Draws You Down" first appeared in The Third Alternative magazine in the UK (now Black Static and was selected for The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror #13 in 2002. The story was a finalist for the Aurora Award in 2002 for best short fiction. It is included in my collection, Chimerascope, which is a current finalist for the 2011 Aurora and 2011 Sunburst Awards. And of course, this is the story on which the indie movie of the same name was based. Enjoy!

Well, sort of. The indie movie based on my story "By Her Hand, She Draws You Down" has finished its North American festival tour, but is now starting to show up on the list of official entries in some international festivals, including:

• SFF-rated ATHENS 2011, Mikrokosmos Film Center, Athens, Greece, March 10-16, will screen short films and features from 23 countries
• A Night of Horror International Film Festival, Sydney, Australia, March 31 – April 8

Great to see that this little film and story still has legs! Very cool!
