Introduction

Hello and welcome to the fall issue of BlazeVOX 12. Presented here is a world-class issue featuring poetry, art, fiction, and an arresting work of creative non-fiction, written by authors from around globe.

We are continuing our new section in the journal, Book Previews, which as the name describes it is a brief look at some of our new book titles. You will find work from Aaron Apps, Paul T. Hogan, Kristina Marie Darling, Ken Warren, Ben Bedard, Jared Schickling and many others. This is truly a special issue of BlazeVOX. And if you are so moved, please take a tour of our online bookshop. We have 300 titles of weird little books available for sale. So hurray, now get reading!

To highlight our vast catalog of great books, we are now going to offer a special each week on two selected great titles and we will be offering them for half off the cover price. Will be selecting new authors and titles each week, so stop on by and add one to your shopping cart before you check out. You’ll be sure to enjoy each of these books! Hurray!

Hurray again, and thank you all for your kind support! I am so very happy to be working at BlazeVOX [books] and I am looking forward to a whole new year cooking for Big Night. Cheers to you, and wishing us all a very quiet fall semester 🙂
