Shock Totem Issue #2

Here is the Table of Contents and cover art for issue #2:
* To Be Titled: An editorial, by K. Allen Wood
* The Rat Burner, by Ricardo Bare
* Sole Survivor, by Kurt Newton
* The Spooky Stuff: A conversation with James Newman, by John Boden
* Sweepers, by Leslianne Wilder

* Leave Me the Way I was Found, by Christian A. Dumais
* Upon My Return, by David Jack Bell
* Howling Through the Keyhole (Author Notes)

This TOC is a bit shorter than issue #1, and that is because we've bumped up the font size for this issue so we were left with less space. The word count on fiction remains the same, though (approx. 30,000 words).

The artwork was done by Hicham Haddaji. You can check out his work here.
Once the layout is complete, and the book block is checked for missed typos a few more times, we go to print.
Soon. Very soon!

I assure you, it shall be no "Electric Boogaloo".....

Cool. I'm looking forward to it.

My concern is that my shot at the Yak semen in a lost cause because I am asleep at the time of it's availability. That stuff will probably fly out of your hands in no time.

Yes, you're too early. The official release date is July 1. Of course, if certain databases aren't updated it might as well not be released. Haha.

Soon, though.

The unedited version was so much funnier.

Issue #2 is on sale through our store only....

http://www.shocktotem.com/shop.html


NOW, those who live abroad....I urge you to sit tight, as createspace's shipping charges are less than palatable....


We are working to figure out a way to circumvent these high charges, but if you buy it and click the cheapest option...you'll get the book...eventually.


It will also turn up on the Amazon and barnes & Nobel sites soon...

I'll order through your site tomorrow from work (I trust their security measures more).

I assume your site takes PayPal?

I believe it does, Sir.

My ducats shall be thine on the morrow.

Where it's available now does not take Paypal. However, you're more than welcome to use the Paypal link for issue #1 and just make note that it's for issue #2. My shipment has not arrived yet, so I haven't added a Paypal link for #2 yet.

I took this advice, but there was no place for me to make a note. So please send me issue 2, even thought I ordered the first one.

EDIT: Won't mail it today, since I don't have my batch yet. Haha. The moment they arrive, though. =)
