WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOX?

BLACK BOX

100 of the darkest, most surreal flash fiction stories from 80 of the hottest horror and fantasy authors, including my own story 'Sleep'.

Dark music from the best Australian alternative, gothic opera, metal, and hip hop artists.

Electronic galleries of dark art from the finest Australian and emerging international artists, including a gallery of my own work and a preview of the illustrations included in the forthcoming 'Shards' collection from Ticonderoga publications.

Plus all the multimedia nastiness and surprises you loved from Shadow Box.

Here's what I said about the original Shadow Box CD, which I wasn't in, back when it was released last year:

"I think Shadow Box is one of the most original concepts I have ever come across, not just in Horror and Dark Fantasy, but in any genre! Many publications have tried electronic delivery via PDF before, but they're still just print magazines. Shadow Box is something new and entirely different in a great way. I hope many people in the publishing industry see this as an example of how Fiction Publishing and E-books can really evolve. [Shadow Box is] a new way for people to enjoy Fiction in the Digital Age. This is what E-Books will become." - Shadowed Realms Readers Forum

Black Box is even more ambitous, and I'm really looking forward to throwing this collection into the CD-drive.

At only $12.95, and with all profits going to the Australian Horror Writers Association, this collection is probably the scariest, freakiest bargain you'll find all year.

You can find out more, and order yourself a copy over at Brimstone Press. Or, if you're at SwanCon on the weekend I know there will be plenty of copies there.
