I wonder if my title will draw Glee fans to the blog. I wonder if the large eyeball will send Glee fans screaming away from my blog.
I don't watch Glee. I love musicals and it seemed my kind of thing, but I couldn't take to it. Maybe I didn't give it enough time. Maybe I gave it too much time.
Anyhow... As you've probably guessed from the gorgeous cover art to your left--by artist Hicham Haddaji-- issue 2 of Shock Totem is almost done. Squeeing, and hoping my squee delights the Glee fans still with us.
I do wish I'd stuck with that show. Or at least watched more than one episode.
Here is the gorgeous TOC for the upcoming issueof Shock Totem.

Nice cover art. Someday I need to invest in a subscription.
I can't get enough of Shock Totem's cover art. Absolutely amazing. They must have to pay quite a lot for it!
Congrats on your acceptance. I will definitely be ordering a copy of Issue 2.
Very nice artwork. And congratulations. I squee with glee ;)
It's a worthy magazine, Andrea.
Sophie, it's gorgeous isn't it.
Thanks, Simon. Ha!
Beautiful!
(I must be sick, but creepy schtuff is simply beau-ti-ful)
Congrats again, Cate!
I be sick too.
That is a seriously cool cover. Glad one of your stories will be stuck under it.
I agree with everyone; the cover is stunning. Congratulations on your story acceptance!
Look at all those people I like in the TOC! I'll be getting this. :)
Me too, Jamie
Thanks, Damien. Those guys at Shock Totem rock - but then, you already know that.
Amanda, It is a pretty TOC.
Crap. I thought this was about my super-favorite show, "Glee." Way to mislead me, Cate. :)
Honestly though, congrats on the upcoming pub. I like the title--"Pretty Little Ghouls." I'm sold.
It is beautiful indeed-- and I have no doubt will surpass the first issue in awesomeness inside. Can't. Wait.
Gef, then my evil plan has worked.
Katey, me too.
I could here the squees clear across the Atlantic, Cate. Nice to see your name in the ToC.
I watched two episodes: you're not missing anything.
Catey-poo! (ducks slap) Thanks for the pimpage. Looking forward to hearing thoughts on the stories in this issue.
It's a bit different from issue #1, you know. These stories are all a bit weird, surreal, you know.
It'll be fun, anyway.
And yeah, I just said "you know" twice in a row. And now I'm rhyming. Got a problem with that?
Thanks, Alan.
Good to know, Natalie. And I suspected as much. :D
As long as I don't start rhyming, Ken, we should be okay... As to the poo thing, don't do it again. :D
See, I said in my review of issue 1they were anti-British (or pro-American). And now you're in.
I'll accept payment in cream cakes.
Seriously, I look forward to reading it...
Great cover and I love your title.
Oi! And we have TWO Australians, and an American who lives in Poland. Not quite the same, but close enough.
And if you call us anti-American this time, issue #3 will feature all American Harry Potter fan fiction.
Steven, from Sayers or Greggs.
Thanks, Danielle.
Ha! Ken. Sounds like a plan.
...Anti American... siounds like a challenge, Ken, to see if I can coerce you into the all Swahili writers edition. :-)
Cate... no, Marks and Spencers, of course...
They use too much butter. I much prefer a Sayers Fondant.
I wanted "Pretty Little Ghouls" the second that I read it. You can only imagine my delight when I went back afterwards and discovered who the author was. ROCK ON, Cate! :D

That fills me with happy. Thanks, Mercedes.
