    PLOTS WITH GUNS GIVES YOU AN ATOMIC WEDGIE

    Blistering skin, hurricane warnings, and melted ice cream all over the concrete.  Despite the sun and the waves, summer can be ugly, too.  Sublimely ugly.  Just like the eight new stories in the Summer 2008 issue of PLOTS WITH GUNS, now live online.

    Some sick tales ready to bust out like they were left in a car with the windows rolled up on a hot-as-balls afternoon: Tony Black, Kyle Minor, Jedidiah Ayres, Kent Gowran, Glenn Gray, Mark Joseph Kiewlak, Fred Snyder, and Garnett Elliot.  Yeah, smells funky, right?

    Hope it keeps you nice and horrified until the next issue rises out of the ground come November.  Just in time for the Post-Turkey Gorging Blues.

    Oh, it looks so pretty. Can't wait to read it.

    It looks really, really good. ... Took extended peeks at some stories already, and I'm definitely on board to read them all. Looking forward to it.
