Bewildering Stories introduces and welcomes...

Tim Newton Anderson

Tim is a member of the London Institute of ‘Pataphysics. He writes, sings, plays the guitar and the blues harmonica. He also used to be a senior daily newspaper journalist and public relations manager. He”s also a fast-fingered keyboardist; since starting to write fiction, he has placed 16 stories in as many publications in the space of nine months.

The very title of “The Portrait of Damian Black” will cause knowledgeable readers to wonder whether the story is a parody of Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray. They will find it isn’t. Rather, it turns upside down Wilde’s premise of a magical moral record. Instead, Damian Black’s self-portraits become channels of his evil power in a semi-comical world where magic has its own corporations and bureaucracy.
