A print copy of The Elect Stories; Purpose, or The Swordbearer's Lament by friend of the Gutter John Crye. "Palm is a human war-orphan, a changeling child raised among the sylueds - the indigenous people of the Forest that small-minded folk call 'elves.' An expert swordsman by the age of nineteen, Palm accompanies his half-sylued swordmaster, Timriel Jackson, to the sprawling frontier city of Vessena. Their mission: protect Father Saren, representative of the sylued people, as he forges a new treaty with the humans.
Once a melting pot of travelers and tradespeople from the farthest corners of the map, Vessena has fallen under the influence of lumber barons and oligarchs who resist what they see as Father Saren's political intrusion.
But Father Saren and his followers aren't the only unwanted
newcomers to the city. Something monstrous stalks the cobblestone
streets and secret alleys of Vessena...
Follow the adventures of our swashbuckling heroes from the
foggy, lamplit streets of old Vessena’s, to the canopied shadows of
the Forest, to the dark dungeons beneath exotic temples as they
confront an ancient and insidious evil."
A copy of the new edition of The Cultural Gutter book from Play Story Press signed by the Gutter's own Evil Overlord, Carol Borden!
"Science fiction, fantasy, comics, romance, genre movies, games all drain into the Cultural Gutter, a website dedicated to thoughtful articles about disreputable art—media and genres that are a little embarrassing. Irredeemable. Worthy of Note, but rolling like errant pennies back into the gutter. The Cultural Gutter is dangerous because we have a philosophy. We try to balance enthusiasm with clear-eyed, honest engagement with the material and with our readers. This book expands on our mission with 10 articles each from science fiction/fantasy editor James Schellenberg, comics editor and publisher Carol Borden, romance editor Chris Szego, screen editor Ian Driscoll and founding editor and former games editor Jim Munroe."

"A print copy of EJ Swift's hot-off-the-press book, When There Are Wolves Again! The extraordinary speculative novel of past, present and future.
"Decades from now, two women sit beside a campfire and reflect on their life stories. Activist Lucy's earliest memories are of living with her grandparents during the 2020 pandemic and discovering her grandmother's love of birds. Filmmaker Hester was born on the day of the Chornobyl explosion and visits the site years later to film its feral dogs in the Exclusion Zone. Here she meets Lux, the wolf dog who will give her life meaning.
Over half a century, their journeys take them from London to the Highlands to Somerset, through protests, family rifts, and personal tragedy. Lucy joins the fight to restore Britain's depleted natural habitats and revive the species who once shared the island, whilst Hester strives to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Both dream of a time when there are wolves again.”
