THE
EIGHTH DAY
Newly orphaned Jax Aubrey discovers an eighth day of the week hidden between Wednesday and Thursday and a reclusive girl living next door who exists only on that secret day. She's the key to a 2000 year old spell with its roots in Arthurian legend, and Jax's teenage guardian is her reluctant jailor. When Jax accidentally leads a pack of human bloodhounds to her door, he incites a catastrophe that could destroy the regular seven days of the week.

Visions
Horror -- Suspense -- Science Fiction
Fantasy -- The Old West -- Superheroes
Visions is an ongoing collection of some of the finest
illustrated fiction by today's writers and artists, from short stories to
novellas to serialized novels. These illustrated tales may span the beginning of
time to the far-flung future, but they are connected by a shared universe. These
are characters who can, and in many instances will, run into each other from
time to time, developing the universe they inhabit-and expanding the universe
you will hold in your hands.
"Visions is the real deal, an honest-to-God modern pulp magazine!! Not some want-to-be anthology posing as such. Editor C. Edward Sellner and Michael Katz have assembled a diverse collection of fantastic tales from all the traditional genres and then wrapped them up in a truly gorgeous package. In both design and interior illustrations, the art in Visions is of the same quality as the stories. Pulp fans rejoice. This is the mag we've all been waiting for!"
