After the electricity has gone out, for one brief second they illuminate something in a way you have never seen or considered it, before life returns to darkness.

kickstarting the apocalypse
It’s been longer than usual since our last update (so look at all the links to read below! ALL THE READING!), because we’ve been completely absorbed with our Kickstarter campaign for Apocalypse Now: Poems and Prose from the End of Days!
The aim of this campaign is to release limited edition collectible paperbacks for you bibliophiles, your family, and your friends just in time for the holidays. Your orders will aid in the creation of a real, physical, bona fide, corporeal thing you can hold and flip through and show off to friends and read intently and bludgeon zombies with when the bullets run out. You can get ebooks for $2 less than they’ll retail, or the print edition (or both!) here.
News for Apocalypse Now contributors: the most recent issue of Abyss & Apex has a poem by Tina Connolly; The Brown Daily Herald published a Faculty profile: Q&A with Brian Evenson; T.R. Hummer has seven poems in Blackbird‘s Fall 2012 issue, and Nicky Beer has in the same issue an essay on poets in fiction; Hummer is also featured in Prairie Schooner; and, Chet Weise was featured in Coldfront.
News for 140 And Counting contributors: Ken Liu just won the Hugo, the Nebula and the World Fantasy Award for his touching short story “Paper Menagerie“! You can read it here. Liu is also translating Volume One of the Three-Body Trilogy (《三体》) by Liu Cixin (刘慈欣), and live-tweeting about it with the #threebody hashtag. Also, another 140 contributor, David M. Harris‘s poem “Bed, 3 A.M.” appeared in Your Daily Poem last week; and, Marge Simon has a poem in Abyss & Apex.
Finally, URB editor Joanne Merriam had a short story (“The Candy Aisle“) in the latest issue of The Journal of Unlikely Entomology.
