Reviews:

The Undead Rat Review ”Maurice [Broaddus] and Jerry Gordon show how faith and horror can not only co-exist but illuminate each other in this collection of faith and horror short stories.”

The Horror Fiction Review – July 2010 Reviews “At times surprising, scary, humorous and almost always thought provoking, DARK FAITH is a must read for fans of religious horror and those seeking some chills of a deeper nature.”

SF Signal GUEST REVIEW: Dark Faith edited by Maurice Broaddus and Jerry Gordon reviewed by Jason Sanford ”For this anthology, Broaddus and Gordon asked horror, science fiction and fantasy writers to explore that something. The result is an amazing collection of insightful stories.”

The PC Challenges of Being an Editor is a guest post written by Co-Editor Maurice Broaddus over on Jeff Vandermeer’s Ecstatic Days Website.

Apex is pleased to announce that the first print run of BJ Burrow’s zombie novel The Changed has sold out. We’ve decided to do a second run, with the book sporting a sharp new cover and a nice blurb from Christopher Pike.

We’ve got a handful of copies with the original smoking skull cover. Get your copy of The Changed today as a trade paperback or an eBook (PDF/ePub/PDB/LRF/mobi).

“Burrow’s debut is a swift-moving, pathos-free, creatively amusing riff on zombies from the zombie perspective. On a day like any other, the newly dead just stop dying, and the world learns that zombie movies have gotten everything wrong. Christian Scott and his fiancée, Erin, have uncomfortable run-ins with the zombies, who call themselves “changed”; then Christian joins their ranks, as does Erin’s favorite shock jock, Nicholas Buckman. Disturbed that the living can call the military in to flambé any of the changed for any reason, Christian and Nicholas decide to start their own political party. While running for senator, Christian must constantly duck his gun-toting father’s attempts to put him down. In hilarious interludes, Paula Dean cooks a zombie fish and Elmo reconciles with a zombie Zoë on Sesame Street. The prose styling is nonexistent, but there’s plenty of charm.” (Dec.)

Well, at least it will be as close as your computer screen or handheld internet  surfing device.

Why? Why such a sale you ask? Oh you didn’t ask. ASK! I’m so glad you asked.

Apex Book Store has been undergoing renovations and will be reopening in full shine and glory soon. Oh yeah, it’s always been open. You just didn’t notice the virtual ladders and sawdust sitting about the place. This is good. You also missed virtually exposed cracks and such. I digress. I knew you’d be happy.

To celebrate we will be selling our books (not t-shirts, merchandise, or pre-order packages) at 40% off. 

Stay tuned for the word GO from our evil overlord! In the meantime,

ready……set……
