Blue Monday TPB Vol. 3: Inbetween Days
 | Holidays inspire a lot of different reactions in people. For instance, Clover hates the sappiness of Valentine's Day, while Bleu loves Halloween. Clover also hates St. Patrick's Day and how people have turned it into an orgy of green beer and leprechauns; however, both girls like April Fool's Day--if for no other reason than how it inspires Victor to dig out his goth gear from the days of yore and play the gloomy poet. The third volume in the popular Blue Monday series is a collection of short stories about the gang's travails over various seasonal functions. Love blooms, ghost stories abound, and there just may be more than a few party-induced hallucinations! |

Kling Klang Klatch GN
 | At 5:00 a.m. on the greasy streets of a city that never sleeps, the dolls are on the hard stuff and the transport's about to strike again. On the news it's all bombs and killing machines the size of tenement blocks. The only consolation for a weary middle-aged cop on his way home is a little illegal sugar and some sweet tenor sax. But that was before they found the body that looked like somebody had unzipped it then scooped out all its insides. And the three words scrawled on an alley wall. Three red words, so fresh they were still dripping. KLING KLANG KLATCH. It's enough to knock out anyone's stuffing. And in Toyland, that's no joke. KLING KLANG KLATCH is set in a superficially glittering world that, if not exactly human, reflects humanity's desires, corruption, and racism at a fundamental level. Ian McDonald's ( Desolation Road ) blackly bizarre wit and David Lyttleton's ( Punch ) razor-sharp eye for detail have created a unique fantasy with a delicious streak of dark humor. |
Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor #5
 | Some years ago I was approached by the distinguished sf author Barry Malzberg and the editor of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction , Edward Ferman, to contribute a new story to "the ultimate science fiction anthology," Final Stage . It was to be a collection of stories that were the final word, the absolute envelope-straining outer limit on a variety of themes: the ultimate time-travel story, the ultimate robot story, the ultimate alien-invasion story. And like that. Barry and Ed assigned me the task of writing "the ultimate science fiction sex story." I wrote "Catman." Was it as dramatic as the editors desired? When the book was reprinted in Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, and half a dozen other countries, the only story the overseas publishers would not include, at risk of being a deal-breaker, was "Catman." In two parts, adapted by the brilliant Peter David of Hulk , Star Trek , Sachs & Violens , and Aquaman fame, exquisitely and mature-adultly painted... |

Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor #2
 | Have you ever had that exquisitely blinding moment of awareness, that instant of epiphany, in which you knew, damned well knew , without question, that you were having one of the best days of your life...or that you were enjoying True Love...or were deeply involved in a project that would one day loom in your memory as The Best of Times? That's the way we all feel about our enigmatic involvement with Dream Corridor . Like those who worked on the first comic-book issues of Mad ; like those who created the glory days of The Harvard Lampoon and went on their way to invent National Lampoon and "Saturday Night Live"; like those who realized halfway through the filming of Casablanca and Citizen Kane and Field of Dreams that they were sitting on the lip of Great Art, with Posterity grinning at them; those of us going from issue to issue with Dream Corridor understand that this is One Of The Special Jobs. Like working in a band beside Bix Beiderbecke; or being there the first night the Beatles went onstage... |
Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor #4
 | Hey, pal, we just got the numbers in on the first issue of this series, and all we can say is Wow . Well, that's not all we can say. We can also say Thank You . But, you know, the best way to say Thanks is not with words; it's with actions. And that's why we've pulled out all the stops for this issue of Dream Corridor . We chained fan-favorite writer Peter David down in the cellar to script the adaptation of "Catman," the story about how the other half, the criminal element, lives. Then we hung around in the bushes of Mike Deodato's house, and ambushed him when he left to send off his latest pages of Wonder Woman . (When you see the crease down the middle of page 12 of the next WW , know that it's our fault.) He's down in that same cellar with Peter, painting all those beautiful "Catman" pages. You wouldn't think a guy surviving on bread and water would be able to do such a wonderful job! The body they have to keep stepping over is John Byrne, who has been locked down there for months.... |
