New Year, new price

Because it’s the new year, and in an effort to clear stock and generate income to put toward issue 3, I’ve reduced the price on issue 2 of Shadows & Tall Trees. $10 shipped to North America and $15 to the rest of the world.

I’ve just heard that 2 stories from Chilling Tales, an anthology I edited, have been chosen by editor Ellen Datlow for inclusion in The Best Horror of the Year, volume 4. The stories are “Stay” by Leah Bobet, and “Looker” by David Nickle. Congratulations to Leah and David!

Cover art for issue 3

I’ve secured the cover art for issue 3. It’s not a photograph, this time, but rather a painting by artist Eric Lacombe. Will unveil it once the cover is designed.
