Newcomers are front and center, beginning with the one-two punch of "Consumption" and "Among the Elephants," by Victoria Jakes and Amberle L. Husbands, respectively. In "The Long Road," Kristi DeMeester leads us to the water's dark edge and tempts us to drink deep, drink long, because we are so very thirsty. Rounding things out is Dominik Parisien's excellent poem, "Smoking, The Old Sergeant Remembers 30 Mins Past Ceasefire."
In addition to all the great fiction, you will find conversations with literary stalwart Laird Barron and Violet LeVoit. The early 70s are explored in the fifth installment of the horror-in-music serial, "Bloodstains & Blue Suede Shoes." Narrative nonfiction is handled by Kurt Newton, and with "The Hook, the Hole, and the Garden," John Boden delivers possibly the most heart-wrenching piece of nonfiction ever published in Shock Totem.
Come see why Shock Totem is billed as "...one of the strongest horror fiction magazines on the market today" (Hellnotes).
