Then from Aaron J. French, the long-delayed ���omnibus��� combined anthology MONK PUNK & THE SHADOW OF THE UNKNOWN (cf. August 21) is finally due for release in print and Kindle this Tuesday, January 6th, from Hazardous Press.�� ���I’m sorry this has taken so long.�� We had some formatting issues with the length (the book is over 500 pages!), which took a long time to work out, and then the cover art needed to be reworked. . . .����� My offering in this one is from the SHADOW OF THE UNKNOWN side, titled ���The Festering,��� and has to do with problems with plumbing.

Very big problems.
