Reviews:
Are you still selling print versions of this? I tried to find it on Amazon.com but only the Kindle version was available. Are you going to a digital-only format for future publications of Shock Totem?
Thanks!
Jenny,
Unfortunately the holiday issue isn’t available in print. It’s not extremely short, but it’s not as long as our other issues. There are approximately 14,200 words of fiction, plus another 5,200 words’ worth of holiday anecdotes, and then the Howling Through the Keyhole (author notes) section.
Our print issues typically have 30,000 words of fiction, plus all the other stuff, so doing a print version of the holiday didn’t make sense. It works better as an e-book.
But don’t worry, our “normal” issues will continue to be made available in both print and digital formats. =)
