DREGS OF SOCIETY HITS THE STREETS
Michael Laimo's new collection, DREGS OF SOCIETY is now available. Sean Wallace, senior editor at Prime Books says that all preorders have been shipped. Sean says "Thanks to all of you who preordered...$100 of my royalties will be donated to the New York Fireman's Fund. There are plenty of copies still available, but orders have been coming in with the book hot off the presses.

For the many people who have inquired about the original novellette, "The Smart Society", which leads off the collection, the 11,000 word tale is original to the book, and Michal has posted an excerpt online for all those who'd like to give it a read for themselves: laimo.com.

GETTING IT TOGETHER, HORROR STYLE!
Horror World and TTA Press online announce a partnership that expands the content of both websites by allowing visitors of either site to visit a multiplicity of author message boards.

Between them TTA Press and Horror World have a significant number of message boards for some of dark fiction's best known names such as Michael Marshall Smith, Ed Gorman, Muriel Gray, Graham Masterton, Graham Joyce and T.M. Wright. As well as author boards, both sites run a number of general discussion forums such as 'The Cellar' and 'Reality Checkpoint'. Visitors to the websites will now be able to access a range of message boards from either site as well as each other's main pages.

Andy Cox (TTA Press) and Andy Fairclough (Horror World) are sure that this link up will be of benefit and interest to regular visitors, as well as stimulating further interest in speculative fiction on the internet.
