In late 2008 I announced a special chapbook that will serve as a sort of companion to the special William F. Nolan issue of Dark Discoveries (#12 – Fall, 2008 . This was for subscribers who purchased a new or renewed a current subscription during the time period offered. It became more extensive than originally planned and the research and completion of it took longer as well. It's now a 50+ page perfect-bound chapbook with a very rare story and a great essay on comics and superheroes and an extensive fiction bibliography. (We also had the revamping of Dark Discoveries in 2009 take a lot of time and effort. This was a necessity for the magazine to not only survive, but to start to grow into a pro magazine). But the chapbook is basically done now (just a couple minor corrections/edits need to be done) and I'm planning on having it out early next year (once I get caught up with payments to some contributors and the printer). I'm very sorry for the delay on this!
Due to the higher costs of this than originally planned, the fact I had some longtime supporting stores who really want a few copies, and that we have many newer subscribers now who might like to purchase one - I am selling a few copies direct. This doesn't change the fact that those of you current subscribers who bought a new sub (or renewed your old one) for that promo in 2008 will still get a free copy of it. And I'm not going to tack on some additional shipping charges or something either. It's my fault we're late and you shouldn't have to pay for it.
I'm still planning on only doing 200 - 250 signed copies (depending on how many pre-order it) so this will be a pretty collectible item I think. For anybody who wants to order a copy or grab an extra one, you can pre-order it now here:
(darkdiscoveries.1freecart.com/i/197720/william-f-nolan-a-miscellany-signed-limited-edition-chapbook.htm) or send me an email to: darkdiscoveries@msn.com to reserve a copy and be billed when it's done.
