I just finished drafting an awesome long post about how Chiral Mad 3 comes out on March 29th, and guess was? The Imp of the Perverse got busy and it all vanished. and I was gonna make a slideshow with pictures and all!!!!
Update: The Slideshow kinda worked.
So anyway yes PLEASE buy it on March 29 (with a 30-day grace period).
The following is copied by That Amazing Man in His Sleep Deprivation Machine, Extraordereditor, Michael Bailey himself. A Cop-Out? Yeah but, tough cookies. And the news bears repeating in clarion calls from the tops of mountains with too little oxygen at the tip to carry the voices of only the most amplified astronauts. READ FULL DETAILS AFTER Mini Slideshow of Damnation:
CHIRAL MAD 3 will officially launch on 03/29/16 by Written Backwards and Dark Regions Press, and I'm more than excited to release this book into the wild for all to enjoy. This is the most ridiculously ambitious anthology I have ever worked on, and I hope you are pleasantly surprised. With 46 illustrations by Glenn Chadbourne, 21 stories and 20 poems, this book is insane.
