silence in the cityThe current Founders House kickstarter campaign is in its final week, and it's at right around 2/3 of the funding it needs -- as of this writing, $4131 of the required $6000. If anyone's been sitting on the fence trying to decide whether to help fund this project, it's getting into now-or never territory, so give it some serious thought. Shaun Kilgore, the guy who runs Founders House, has a galaxy of add-ons you can get with your donation, including (ahem) the anthologies I've edited, as well as subscriptions to MYTHIC Magazine (which you really, seriously don't want to miss). Shaun will also be accepting submissions to this anthology, so if you've got your own take on the theme -- the sudden, permanent shutdown of a modern city -- you might want to give the kickstarter a boost so there' s a market for your work. ;-)

Interested?  Check it out here

6/21 Update: three days to go, and we're less than $500 from success! Please do consider helping push it over the line. 

6/22 Update:  huzzah!  Across the finish line with two days to go. There's still time to help out the project and get your choice of add-ons; the project closes at 8 pm EDT on June 24th. 

6/24 Update: many thanks to everyone who contributed. Now to get to work on my story...

Silence in the CityThe kickstarter for MYTHIC Magazine, Founders House Publishing's magazine of original fantasy and science fiction, was successful enough -- three stretch goals hit! -- that publisher Shaun Kilgore is back again with another Kickstarter project that will be of serious interest to readers here. Here's the blurb: 

"Sudden disruptions in power and other major services sends a city into chaos. In the blink of an eye, the modern technological world fails. Is it a government plot? Experiment gone wrong? A foreign cyber attack? Alien invasion? A mystical incursion from beings beyond this dimension? Who knows? Now the noise and the bustle of the city has vanished and an eerie silence settles over the urban landscape. Within, there are stories of human violence, depravity, and desperation, but also heroism, selflessness, and sacrifice. SILENCE IN THE CITY is an anthology of speculative tales asking what happens when a city—and all of modern civilization—is plunged into darkness.
 
"SILENCE IN THE CITY will contain at least fifteen original short stories spanning the science fiction, fantasy, and even horror genres that will be written by popular and best-selling writers like Gini Koch (writing as A.E. Stanton), David B. Coe, Dean Wesley Smith, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Joshua Palmatier, Kevin J. McLaughlin, Alex Shvartsman, John Michael Greer, and many others." 

Yes, I've got a story in mind for this project, one that I've been mulling over for a while now. I think the whole project is going to be well worth reading. As for the Kickstarter, Shaun's got a stack of add-ons and stretch goals in place. Check out the details here -- while you've still got electricity...
