I got word that a major distributor just ordered 1600 copies of issue #6 of Shroud Magazine.
I went ahead and took advantage Shroud’s advertising special (the first 100 ads get a 1/4 page ad at $30.00 instead of the normal $50.00).
I know Tim’s working his ass off over there, but hey, I’m sure he’d be happy to take a break if you wanna do some advertising with him.

My friends over at ChoateRoad.com told me about a Horror Bail Out they are doing. Check it out!
Greetings my fellow horror peeps and peers,
It’s no secret that these are tough times and money is tight for everyone. Huge corporations are lining up for DC pork and we all know who gets stuck with the bill for $800 billion and counting.
But nowhere in this vast plan do I see any help coming to the Horror Fiction industry.
Our publishers are struggling. Books aren’t selling. Magazines are barely scraping by. We’re seeing paying markets close doors every month. Even horror conventions are pushing to the back third of the year hoping things get better.
Well, Choate Road has decided to launch a grass roots HORROR BAIL OUT plan to help shake some things up. It’s going to be simple. It’s also going to rely on all of us, because if we lose our publishers, we’re all looking at a dead end.
The HORROR BAIL OUT is this: When you go to toss the government that $800 billion, keep $20 out. Don’t give it to DC. Pocket it. Whistle and stare into the sky so no one notices. Run home and shove that $20 in your desk or cookie jar or underwear drawer next to your leopard skin thong.
Then go buy a book.
Fresh off the press, the ZombieMall.com stickers are in!
I know some of you have been VERY patient, but rest assured these will ship out this week and next week so keep your eyes open!
