Writers include Gene-Michael Higney and d.g.k. goldberg -- both of whom are writing for a much bigger audience now; as well as David Whitman, Gary Markette, Pravin Jeyaraj, Steve Tully, Alyson Cresswell, Frederick Rustam and Jean M. Goldstrom.

This book was originally posted only on Anotherealm as it was used to help fund the zine's annual awards which have involved money prizes. Now it's available here, too. Enjoy!

THE TWELVE WORKS OF THE SHMO
By Walter G. Willaert

If you love that rare element known as comic science-fiction (and I surely do) you won't want to miss Walter Willaert's hilarious report of those two little space-alien guys called "Shmo." (Singular or plural, same word.) Willaert, a native Belgian, takes these two little twerps on a whirlwind tour of the USA that is enough to leave the country -- or at least those parts visited by the Shmo -- in somewhat of a whirl. Shmik and Shmil, however, remain cool as they quest for 'souvenirs" to take back to their grumpy boss. Good luck, guys. It's tough getting a smile out of him. But smiles will come easy to readers of this fast-moving and laugh-producing book.

A WEEK IN
HEAVEN'S REALM

This is a gently comic imaginary week's visit to that beautiful place beyond The Pearly Gates. You may encounter some surprises. And some laughs. After all, without laughter, it would be Hell.
If you could visit Heaven for a week, what would you see? You might be surprised! Monday, in the Main Office, an angel searches desperately through the piles of prayers in the Sunday in-boxes, trying to find one that isn't hopelessly selfish. Tuesday brings the Executive Meeting, where the Divine One hosts Ra, Odin and other dignitaries to share their thoughts. Wednesday, there's a commotion in the Really Accountable Accounting Department that runs through Thursday. Friday, some frolicsome spirits play a practical joke on Satan. On Saturday, where do you go? To the "best little bar down below." And Sunday...it's the almost indescribably-beautiful Day Of The Divine One. This book is a 6x9 paperback, 86 pages.To order, click HERE.

The author reports having no objectivity about this book after working on it for 30-some years. Here are observations from those who are more objective:
GARY MARKETTE, editor of Anotherealm.com says: Part fantasy, part science-fiction, part cautionary tale, Warriors of Light entertains as thoroughly as it defies categorization. I strongly recommend this book. This one is a masterpiece.
BARRY HUNTER, longtime reviewer at http://Baryon-online.com says: Jean has cast a book that makes you think of the Riverworld of Philip K. Dick, but a major difference here is that not everyone is dead. This is a unique look at the battle between good and evil and Jean has put in plenty of action. This book is unusual and interesting.

YOU CAN BE A OUIJA BOARD WIZARD!


A bit of good fortune brought us this unique book just in time for Halloween fun. It's not just a book -- it's also a Ouija board! Yes, for your Halloween party -- or any other time -- you just read this book on how to use the O-board, then, lay the book flat, turn it over so the cover is up, and it's a Ouija board. And it works!

This fun book is coffee-table sized 8 1/2 x 11 inches. When opened and laid flat it makes a 11 x 17 Ouija board, plenty large enough to pass those messages to and from the Beyond. It has 16 pages of text, which is plenty to tell you about how to use the Ouija safely and enjoyably, in eight chapters, as follows:
1. A Brief History of the Ouija Board. 2. The Mid 1800s -- Boom Years for Spiritualism. 3. Spiritualism Today 4. Spiritism and Automatism 5. How to Use the Ouija Board. 6. Being Careful. 7. Movie Madness. 8. What Now?

Really, it works. I've tried it.
