January 21, 2006

I can't believe it's the 21st already. This month is screaming past me.

The CD for issue #2 is FINALLY up and available for purchase in our swag department. This issue's CD contains a high resolution print copy of the magazine along with a spoken word story and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader for ease of use.

Just a reminder that all proceeds from the sale of CD's, Swag and contest entries go directly back towards paying authors and cover artists.

Our debut issue reached well over a thousand people and I do believe issue two is going to surpass that number.

We are receiving a continually growing number of submissions — which is great. Seems our little magazine's tendrils are reaching further and further with each month. A reminder that deadline for Isssue #3 submissions is February 28th, 2006. Full details and formatting guidelines can be found under the Submissions link.

Cover art for Issue #3 and Issue #4 have been selected.

We are always on the look out for artists to provide internal art. We've made a slight change in the way we do things as well. We now provide an artist e-mail contact link which is hard coded into each piece that appears in our magazine and are offering a small token payment. For more details you can contact our art director, Jason Beirens at: artdirector@darkrecesses.com

The Deja Vu Horror Contest is picking up and I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into the submissions we have received. If you haven't taken a look yet, I heartily suggest you do. The prize pack alone is worth taking that chance.

As always, we appreciate feedback so send in yours to: letters@darkrecesses.com.
