The Humble Beginning
It had to start somewhere.
Mike and I decided we'd have a blog devoted to Mount Zion and the divers parts thereof. Right now the biggest part is Mount Zion Speculative Fiction Review (henceforth MZSFR). In the future we will be adding posts according to how Mount Zion Press grows.
Why The Cryer?
If you've read the "About Mount Zion" page on the website you know that we named the Journal after a fictional town in East Tennessee. We have each written a couple of stories tied to Mount Zion (although none have yet been published). Ideally we want to create a shared setting for what Jason Sizemore calls "Hillbilly Horror."
In coming weeks we are goin to post some information about Mount Zion, Tennessee. Feel free to use it in stories. Submit them to us or others. Only add to the Mount Zion Mythos, if you are willing to share your characters with others. This kind of thing is best done if we don't step on each others toes. If you like a character in someone else's story, email them and ask if you can use it.
A note on Aesthetics
I am very unhappy about the look of The Cryer and plan to change it as soon as I can.
Yrs.,
Ryan
