TTA Press will have a dealer table at MonsterCon ‘08 in Concord, NC, USA.  The event is Saturday and Sunday, the 4th and 5th of October 2008.  This is a great opportunity to fill in those missing issues in your collection or just come out and find out about us and have some fun.

Scott Nicholson, who has had stories appear in Crimewave and Black Static, will be a guest author at MonsterCon.  Scott has an upcoming podcast story at Transmissions From Beyond on Monday October 13, 2008.  TFB editor Pete Bullock will be at MonsterCon too.

The event also features many notable guests, including actor Brian Krause who played Leo on the hit television show “Charmed”.  If you live on the U.S. east coast, you’ll want to seriously consider going to MonsterCon.

Denvention 3 is the 66th Worldcon and the 2008 World Science Fiction Convention and, obviously, in Denver, Colorado; dates August 6th to 10th this year. With the help of Interzone’s US friends we will have a dealer stand at the convention.

We will sell Interzone and Black Static there at the unbelievably low price of $7 or $8. The local and State taxes along with exchange rate volatility make it difficult to decide immediately on pricing. I expect US readers think $8 is not ‘unbelievably low’ but it is less than the $12, or more, charged in their normal retail emporia. (more…)
