So who else is coming to VisionCon in Springfield, MO, at the end of the month?
I’ve just finished most of the heavy lifting to prepare for the trip, which is a first for me. For most cons, I do the headless chicken dance the night before, only then realizing I’ve forgotten books or business cards. [...]

If you missed out on New Dark Voices when it was first released in hardcover, you can now preorder a trade paperback edition that will be printed in December for only $15. Check it out at The Horor Mall.
