Steampunk Thursday: Scarlet Traces anthology on sale now!

Rebellion are clearly having a massive clearout of their warehouse since loads - and I mean loads - of grpahic novels and other books are heavily discounted over on their webstore.

Among the books that have been knocked down massively in price is the Scarlet Traces short story anthology, which includes a contribution from me: Wonderful Things.

Another book that is currently massively discounted is Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories, which features four of my Judge Dredd short stories - Psimple Psimon, One-Way Ticket, You'd Better be Good, for Goodness' Sake, and Miracle on 34th and Peltzer.

So head over to the 2000AD webstore now and grab yourself a bargain!

The 12 Days of Christmas - Day 7: Gaze upon this Festive Feast of Dredd

Available to buy now from Rebellion Publishing is Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories, edited by Dredd veteran Michael Carroll, which gathers the very best short stories from more than a decade of the Judge Dredd Megazine, including stories by legends Alan Grant, Gordon Rennie and Simon Spurrier, among countless others…

Two of the four short stories of mine that appear in the anthology are festive tales.

You'd Better be Good, for Goodness' Sake... first appeared in Judge Dredd Megazine #355, back in 2014, while Miracle on 34th and Peltzer was published a year later, in 2015, in the bumper Christmas issue of 2000AD. 

 

If you've not read them before, pick up Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories now.

Tie-in Tuesday: Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories

From the pages of the Judge Dredd Megazine:

A shopping mall where droids sell organs harvested from street trash… 
A murderous imaginary friend…
A psychotic composer drafting music from pain… 
All in a day’s work for the Lawman of the Future.

Edited by and with an introduction by Dredd veteran Michael Carroll, Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories gathers the very best short stories from more than a decade of the Judge Dredd Megazine, including stories by legends Alan Grant, Gordon Rennie and Simon Spurrier, among countless others…

As seems to be my lot with short story anthologies I've contributed to in recent years, I am one of the "countless others", even though I actually have four tales in the collection. They are:

Psimple Psimon
One-Way Ticket
You'd Better be Good, for Goodness' Sake...
and Miracle on 34th and Peltzer

Judge Fear's Big Day Out and Other Stories is published this Thursday, 12 November 2020, but you can pre-order it now.

Tie-in Tuesday: Miracle on 34th and Peltzer

Okay, so it's not Christmas, and it's not even Easter anymore, but I chanced upon this review of my most recent festive Dredd story the other day and thought I'd share it with you.

Miracle on 34th and Peltzer
A bit of prose to make this gigantic issue an even more well-rounded affair!
‘Miracle’ was a smartly written bit of fiction by Jonathan Green. The tale takes place in a number of locations, all of which are unknowingly tied to one another. Terrorists take Weather Control hostage, eldsters careen towards their final Christmas on the Ho Ho Ho Express, a man volunteers in a soup kitchen, and some reindeer pulled tree meat soars through the skies above Mega City One. Oh, and Judge Dredd on a powerboard!
