We're really excited about all three of these projects and think people are going to love them. All three are a party for your brain! So, what are you waiting for? And don't forget to tell every living person on the planet about these books, as well as our others, and help support underground indie artists.

Also Ray Fracalossy is having a special on his phenomenal Tales from the Vinegar Wasteland. 10 bucks and free shipping until the end of March if you order from Afterbirthbooks. com. This book is truly on fire (our current best seller!) and if you haven't checked it out yet, this is a great time for you to do so.

And lastly, you may have noticed the new afterbirth banner on our page. We would be eternally grateful if you would plaster that baby literally EVERYWHERE. Your own page, blogs, message boards, journals and any other place you can think of. Every little bit helps and we and all of our authors and artists will love you for it. We need you guys. Never doubt it.

Thanks for all and enjoy the weekend!

Not Quite One of the Boys by Vincent W. Sakowski. While drug-dealer Maxi drinks with Dante in purgatory, God and Satan play a little tri-level chess and do a little bargaining over his business partner, Vinnie, who is still left on earth.

Sad news
Current mood: sad

Well, we at Afterbirth have reached a sad decision today. Due to the vast amount of submissions we get each and every month, we've decided to close to unsolicited submissions for a while. We just can't keep up anymore and it's not fair to make writers wait months for a response from us. We know that's how most publishers work--the long waits--and we never wanted to be one of those publishers. We always felt it was disrespectful and, often, just flat-out rude.

So, instead of becoming one of those places, we have to do something we hoped we'd never have to do. The lesser of two evils, I guess

But, the good news is that this won't be a forever thing. We just need to dig our way out of this massive mountain of subs we have and then we'll be back to being to open to whoever wants to send us something.

Those of you who have sent us something in the last few months and have not yet heard back from us, please accept our apologies. We WILL get to you soon. Have patience, Grasshopper. The time is near.

One of the Afterbirth authors, Gina Ranalli, is going to raffle off a free book (either Chemical Gardens or Suicide Girls in the Afterlife)! All you have to do to enter is put her in your top 8 friends for the week, and send her a message that you've done it (you'll see her on the top 8 here on my profile). Then one winner will be randomly chosen. What a cool way to get a free book...

Repost this so others can get in on the drawing, too. Ends October 8.
