Shock Totem 6

Shock Totem returns with its sixth issue, featuring stories that range from troubling tales of loss to chilling examinations of mankind's dark side. In "Lighten Up," four-time Stoker Award-winner and Grandmaster of Horror Jack Ketchum gives us a dose of dark humor that still manages to be righteously menacing. "The River," by rising star Lee Thompson, is a brutal tale of purgatory, wasted life, and regrets.

Soulmates connect through murder, love and revenge in P.K. Gardner's "For Jack." In "Orion," a young girl who has only known darkness makes the ultimate sacrifice--in blood. "No One But Us Monsters," by Hubert Dade, follows a man who is haunted and tormented by his own crippling fears. Mail hoarding, sin eaters, political horror, Shock Totem #6 runs the gamut.

Also included: Conversations with Lee Thompson and seven-time British Fantasy Award nominee Gary McMahon, as well as narrative nonfiction--a tale of true horror--by Ryan Bridger. An editorial about inspiration; the latest installment of "Bloodstains & Blue Suede Shoes," which examines the connections between music and horror; plus reviews and much more...

Come see why Shock Totem is billed as "...one of the strongest horror fiction magazines on the market today" (Hellnotes).
