The March 20th release date has arrived. Orders will be shipped within a week of when they are received.
You can still request a copy signed by the editors.
And we finally kept a deadline! The pre-orders have all been shipped.
All the best,
Molly
We have new review up for Dark Distortions volume 1 at Bookgasm.
Check it out here.
Congrats everybody!

The books have been shipped to us, so we're now in the process of sending out the author's copies and any extra orders from the authors. So, you should be receiving them within the next few weeks. We plan to have them all out by March 20th, which is also our release date.
We are getting many many submissions for DD2, so bare with us. We're dividing our time between marketing DD1 and reading for DD2 and FrightScripts, which means that our time is very limited and it has slowed up response times to these submissions. It may take up to 60 days before you might here from us, especially if we're planning on sending you a email of interest in the work.
Have a bloody great day,
~CD Allen
Good news! The DD1 books are being printed as we speak and will begin shipping early next week. As soon as they arrive, we'll be sending them out to our authors and to reviewers.
Have a great day,
~CD Allen
Okay, so we're off. March 20th, 2008 is still the date for release of DD1. Nothing has changed there. Dark Distortions, volume 2, is already getting submissions in and we're starting to get around to those now. We feel at full steam now.

I'd also like to bring up that CD is still looking for four more authors to fit into the new Frightscripts anthology book. If you have a novella - and you think it's really scary - and you're interested in trying to get in, send your submissions now, folks! One has already got in and there are only four more spots to go! Just remember, Frightscripts are for pure HORROR stories. If it's not disturbing, we won't want it.
To help you out a little bit CD decided to add more to what he's looking for. "I don't care if the horror is erotic, comic, or whatever, but I do want it scary and I do want it to disturb me on some level. I'd also rather have supernatural horror elements to it. Monsters, ghosts, witches or altogether made up, it doesn't matter. If your novella can do all that, then I'll be very happy with what you send me."
Okay, that's it. Till later!
First off...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!!
Here's your Christmas present from Scotopia Press: Pre-ordering is now live! That's right, just when you were beginning to believe that we wouldn't make it, Dark Distortions is open for pre-orders to be shipped on our release date.
You want even better news, too? Okay... we have a release/shipping date! Pre-orders are shipped March 20th, 2008. That's also the date at which we will be shipping free copies to the authors.
Distribution
For now, all I can say is that we will be selling the book at our bookstore here at scotopiapress.com, but we're not sure how long it will take to get it into your local bookstores as of yet (if this is even possible this soon). We're working with retailers to get it into bookstores, but that might not happen by are release date. However, Molly and I are working hard to get that done. I promise. We're also still looking at Amazon.com and ABE Books as other outlets as far as online distribution goes.
Again, Happy Holidays. Enjoy the holidays and let us know if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
CD Allen
