Bestselling author Douglas Clegg made digital history a decade ago when his novel Naomi became the Internet’s first publisher-sponsored e-serial.
In that tradition, last year, Clegg made a deal with his fans: If they spread the word and got enough people to check out the free online version of his acclaimed novel Afterlife, he would reward them with a brand new free serial this summer.
Well, they did. And he will. Earlier today the widget below surfaced on the web, counting down to the release of a brand new free email serial. And given the description (click on the widget to get details) we can’t wait.
This is going to be killer.
Can I tell you, when I got this message from Douglas Clegg in my email inbox last night (I subscribe to his newsletter and it’s written so conversationally I sometimes think he’s just writing to me to say “hi”) I immediately opened my calendar and marked the date.
Very excited to see this happening! But here’s a question. Has Douglas put out a book of short stories since The Nightmare Chronicles? I wouldn’t mind seeing one…
You know, just a thought.
Cemetery Dance did a massive gorgeous omnibus of most of Clegg’s short fiction called THE MACHINERY OF NIGHT which is worth searching for on the secondary market. It’s one of the most amazing short story collections ever. And it’s huge.
