I keep forgetting to hire you as Art Director. You'll accept a salary in the form of chicken scraps and discount DVD's, right?

When might we expect a copy of the book to reach us?
I'm still debating going deep into debt to get the goatskin edition. Just for the goatskin.... and the book.

We hope to start fulfillment in fall of next year, but I AM GATEWAY (the goatskin edition) might take a little longer due to the intensive nature of hand-binding the books.

I'll say this though: it's going to be one of (if not THE) nicest edition we've ever done. We've sold 8 out of 10 already though so if you're considering it you should act quickly.

We are thrilled to announce that author Nicole Cushing (MR. SUICIDE, I AM THE NEW GOD) is under contract for a new novella in I AM THE ABYSS. As with the other ten original novellas within the book, Nicole's story will revolve around someone who has found the end of their Mortal Path and is navigating the depths of their personal abyss.

Various reviewers have described Nicole Cushing's work as "brutal", "cerebral", "taboo", "mind-bending" and "outré". She has been touted as "the literary love child of Jack Ketchum and Poppy Z. Brite". Her novella CHILDREN OF NO ONE was nominated for the 2013 Shirley Jackson Award. Her latest release is her debut novel MR. SUICIDE, published by Word Horde. Visit her at www.nicolecushing.com.
