Zippered Flesh 3 Table of Contents, Hoped for Pre-Halloween Date Announced (and Let’s Not Forget Year’s Best Body Horror 2017)

Today brought an announcement from Weldon Burge of Smart Rhino Publications, that ZIPPERED FLESH 3: YET MORE TALES OF BODY ENHANCEMENT GONE BAD (cf. April 27, 19, et al.) is headed toward a, hopefully, pre-Halloween release.  Just in time for costume suggestions, eh?  In this one my story is in final place, the thought to take with one to possibly a ZIPPERED FLESH 4 — or possibly just to hold in one’s own head — and a probably rather benign one at that, called “Golden Age.”  And with the announcement, here is the finalized table of contents:

Horns, Teeth, and Knobs–Billie Sue Mosiman

Upgraded–Shaun Meeks

Worm–Jeff Menapace

Reduced to Tears–Adrian Ludens

Going Green–Christine Morgan[image error]

A New Man–William F. Nolan

Transposition–Jason V Brock

The Rose–Jack Ketchum

Consume–Daniel I Russell

All Will Turn to Gray–Jezzy Wolfe

Invisible–E.A. Elizabeth Black

And the Sky was Full of Angels–L.L. Soares

Shopping Spree–Meghan Arcuri-Moran

Closer–Charles Colyott

Dog Days–Graham Masterton

Switch–Jasper Bark

Hypochondria–Martin Marty Zeigler

Gehenna Division, Case #609–Sandra R. Campbell

Golden Age–James Dorr

And, speaking of body enhancements gone bad, let us also recall the “other” anthology, YEAR’S BEST BODY HORROR 2017 (cf. May 8), due out tentatively in late September from Gehenna & Hinnom.  My story in this is called, simply, “Flesh,” one a bit on the surrealistic side concerning a wealthy man who decides to become fat.  More on this, as on ZIPPERED FLESH 3, will be revealed here as it becomes known.
