New Bedlam: Town Archives

by Jodi Lee (Editor)

For two years, The New Bedlam Project survived as a free-to-read, blog-based webzine. Some of horror and sci-fantasy’s most promising up and coming writers have been spotted on the streets of New Bedlam, possibly looking for a way out, or perhaps they seek Morpheus, ready to bribe him for just a few moments of sleep.

From the candle’s flame to the darkest corners of imagination, New Bedlam has grown to encompass far more than anyone ever dreamed of. The monsters have definitely escaped their bounds, and the writers may never sleep again.

Dare you walk these streets?

Volume 1 includes all of the stories and poetry published in The New Bedlam Project's first year online, featuring stories from authors such as R. Scott McCoy, Steven L. Shrewsbury, Cate Gardner, Barry Napier, R.H. Fay, John Irvine, James C.G. Shirk, Jake Bible, Comrade Stryker, Lucien E.G. Spelman, Brenton Tomlinson, Saranna DeWylde, Brett Williams, Heather Wildman, Perry Jerome, Natalie L. Sin, Kevin Lucia, J.Jay Waller, and Mike Pennington.
