Preface: some of this is a rehash of what was in my review for the previous volume, but I think its important enough to repeat.
I looking at 01Publishing's website, I was right off the bat assaulted by some messaging against political correctness and 'No Safe Spaces.' Which, incidentally, is also the name of the podcast that Rocha and Finney run, which is pretty aggressive in its anti-pc talk. The slogan is also on some of their graphics, which seem like sf/horror versions of a some of the skull (punisher skull, skull mask, etc.) iconography used by the far right these days. Symbolism not helped by it being flag coloured/patterned. Doing some digging on twitter, it looks like Rocha (the editor as well, for the record) has changed accounts a few times, with the most recent one talking about moving to Parler in the bio. Some of her older accounts appear to have followed accounts espousing uniting traditional conservatives and libertarians to 'take back our culture.' In some of her Youtube videos there use of the alt-right slur 'soyboy', during which Patton Oswalt of all people is pictured.
Could these all be individual red flags that ultimately amount to nothing? Sure. But taken as a collection of facts, as well as some other bits and pieces of catch phrases, rhetoric, and political figures the editors seem to follow, its cause for some concern. I have queries out to some authors that have worked with this publisher and Rocha to see if I can get anything more concrete. But at this points, especially with some of the youtube video comments about lovely, humane people, I can't endorse anything put out by this publisher. Which is a shame because I dearly love some of the authors included here. If you really want to check it out, please buy it used and don't support a publisher that endorses such problematic views. I know Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer have made the stories they had in this and the subsequent collection available as audio stories through Witch House Media and the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast. You may want to check them out there.
I really respect and enjoy a lot of the authors included in these...Chad Fifer's 'The Baby Downstairs' is probably the funniest and creepiest two page story I've every seen (or heard). Orrin Grey's 'The Labyrinth of Sleep' shows up in some other collections by other publishers, and is an fantastic integration of some of my favorite elements of both dreamlands and non-dreamlands elements. John C. Foster's 'His Carniverous Regard' brings lovecraftian weird fiction elements to science fiction, and we have another great entry by Greg Stolze of White Wolf fame. Other talented, recognizable names like Barron and Byers also make memorable appearances. Its a great collection of talent and ideas. But I just can't give a positive rating to a publisher with seemingly such disturbing political stances. ( )
