Cyber Pulp Books Unleashes Chimeraworld #2 - June 1

Forget the hyper-extended hi-camp grand-guignol of Chimeraworld #1, this year editor Mike Philbin has ensured that Chimeraworld #2 will rob you of all hope, bathe you in sickness, destroy your soul.

(PRWEB) June 1, 2005 -- Still reeling from the nightmare excesses of CHIMERAWORLD #1? Relax a while and enjoy the ambient tones of sadness, depression, degradation and utter hopelessness of CHIMERAWORLD #2, the pure power-chords of deep, deep despondency.

Those were the rather vague (and purposefully so) guidelines to this title. The idea was not to set a theme but to set a tone, a palette, an atmosphere. From nearly 100 submissions the final 23 stories were chosen. They are some of the most seriously despondent stories ever assembled together into one gloomy collection.

Get your box of razor blades ready 'cos here's the finalised TOC:

Damp - Steve Lockley & Paul Lewis
The Dance - Brian W Keen
The Stagnant Ponds - Kurt Newton
A Taste For Deformity - Dustin LaValley
The Abortion People - David L Tamarin
It's Your Turn - Derek Gunn
