New review of Chilling Tales

A new, mostly good, review of my anthology Chilling Tales has appeared.

Special offer

With issue 1, Adam Golsaki sent out one-of-a-kind, personalized postcards to everyone who purchased the inaugural issue. I'm happy to report that we'll be offering another one-of-a-kind treat. Adam has reviewed the book "Portents" for our Feature Book Review. His review copy is now filled with his illuminating marginalia, as you can see from the page below. Much of the marginalia did not make it into the review.

So, here's the offer: Everyone who purchases a copy of issue 2 of Shadows & Tall Trees will have their name put into a virtual "hat," and on November 1 I will draw one name from that hat. That person will win the review copy of "Portents." You have until October 31 at midnight to buy a copy and be eligible for the raffle.
