Wolfgand Carsens Interview.

"I have only been publishing in the “small” press since about 2008. Most of the work that has been posted online and published in print has been by editor’s request. To be perfectly honest, I loathe the submission process. There’s something about dressing my work up in tight pink dresses and pretty tap shoes that disgusts me. Occasionally I’ll submit work to friends/editors who have launched a new project, as well as encourage Epic Rites Press authors to support their project as well. A great example is Ben Smith’s horrorsleazetrash.com. HST has only been in operation a few months, but already it has surpassed the scope and vision of most “small” presses. There is a HST magazine in the works, a quarterly anthology, merchandise, and original online material. Ben has taken the bull by the horns here, and I have nothing but love and respect for Ben, and for men and women like Ben, who throw themselves into their press – like so many pieces of meat into the whirling blades of a great fan! Somebody has to do it! Somebody has to push the envelope, to be the freak in question, the criminal"

Big respect to ERP, more here . com
