Welcome, weary net-traveler, to the very first edition of Schlock!
Thank you for stopping by. We have assembled what we hope to be an eclectic-but-coherent melange of genre fiction: macabre tales of the supernatural sit alongside more humorous pieces as well as the strip Killing Time. As we hope to do with future editions, the stories you see splayed out under you are connected through a loose motif, which we will not reveal explicitly though we’re sure it’ll all click into place for you in no time.
Special thanks go to Ellen and Marco for the artwork for this issue.
