So we're doing a special Shock Totem e-book for the holidays this year. It'll become available around Dec 1. This one is a bit different from our print issues in that it will feature fiction from the main Shock Totem staff, extended staff and others. It'll also include anecdotal holiday memories from a wide range of artists, some dark, some funny, some sweet.
Here is the current TOC (we may get a few more holiday memory entries in the next day or two) and artwork:
* Heartless, by Mercedes M. Yardley
* Vincent Pendergast’s Holiday Recollection
* Jennifer Pelland’s Holiday Recollection
* Streamer of Silver, Ribbon of Red, by K. Allen Wood
* Mark Allan Gunnells’ Holiday Recollection
* Nick Cato’s Holiday Recollection
* Santa Claus Is Coming to Get You, by Kevin J. Anderson
* Stacey Longo’s Holiday Recollection
* Tinsel, by John Boden
* Leslianne Wilder’s Holiday Recollection
* One Good Turn, by Robert J. Duperre
* Jack Ketchum’s Holiday Recollection
* Sheldon Higdon’s Crappy Holiday Recollection
* Christmas Wish, by Sarah Gomes
* Simon McCaffery’s Holiday Recollection
* ‘Twas the Night, by Nick Contor
* Daniel I. Russell’s Holiday Recollection
* Lee Thompson’s Holiday Recollection
* A Krampus Christmas, by Ryan Bridger
* Howling Through the Keyhole (Story Notes)
The artwork is ridiculously good! I'm kinda bummed it won't see release in print. Maybe next year we'll open submissions and expand it to print. For now, though, it'll be an e-book. I'll post again when it's available. =)
