This sounds badass. Will we get a TOC for the book? And are any of the stories original to the collection?

THANKS!!! And yeah, got the TOC here! No originals (except the essay and story notes). But a bunch of deep cuts, along with a few of my best-known, from my earliest career to now.

Interestingly, the only new fiction I've written this year is appearing in ANOTHER book coming out right now-- teaming up with Shane McKenzie (who contributed mightily to the THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK script) and Aron Beauregard (without whom NEITHER of these books would be happening) -- which will be the subject of my NEXT column!

But as for the TOC, we have:

WHAT THE FUCK IS SPLATTERPUNK? (intro)

ART IS THE DEVIL
