Apex Publications, a wonderful small press publishing horror, dark fantasy, science fiction and very weird stories is in trouble and we can help. as I mentioned in the last post, the owner Jason Sizemore needs to sell books and if you spend over $25.00 in the Apex bookstore you get free shipping.

This is a way we can directly help save a book published and get some great birthday gifts for that Horror/SF/Fantasy reader in the process. Below are a couple of Apex books, click on the book cover to go to the Apex store if you find yourself interested in making a purchase. Many books are under $10.00.
