CONGRATULATIONS to the Winners, and thank you everyone who helped to support
Apex!
(see results below)
I'm tired of seeing excellent small press publishers breaking their backs to stay alive in the marketplace. So a couple of days ago when I read Jason's plea for subscriptions, I decided to put my money where my mouth is when it comes to supporting the small press by offering a free subscription to help raise a flag and keep Jason's post in circulation. And then the wonderful John Little matched my offer, and soon after a whole gaggle of fine folks stepped in to help. Dang, don't you just love Shockliners??
Anyway, here's the deal and it's super-simple:
To Win:
Post in this thread or the original subscription thread and state why everyone should subscribe to the magnificent Apex Digest of Science Fiction and Horror. If you're new to Apex and don't know why, then just make something up.
The WINNERS:
1. 2 - One Year subscription to Apex (Thank you John Little!)

2. "A hardback copy of [Michelle's] favorite Apex book, Unwelcome Bodies by Jennifer Pelland, for one random subscriber." (Thank you, Michelle Lee aka LeatherZebra!)
Voodoojim
3. 4 Issues of Dark Discoveries (Thank you, James Beach!).

Winners, please send me an email at franfriel AT gmail dot. com with your name and shipping address.
Generous prize providers--thank you again! I'll get the contact info for the winners to you as soon as I receive it.
Note: Winners were drawn from this thread and the Jason's original thread.
Winners will be chosen randomly on May 18th (yes, I changed the date...again
).
In case you missed it, the following is from Jason's original subscription post:
Okay, I'm going to come right out and say it. The magazine needs more subscribers. Probably doesn't come as any shock, as this happens every year.
So we're going to do an old-fashioned subscription drive.
The reality of the situation is that we need 150 new subscribers (or roughly $3000), or we're looking at a hiatus until I have enough disposable income to push out another issue. I use the term "hiatus" because there won't be any mercy killings going on around here. I love the damn magazine too much to let it go (or possibly too stubborn), but the hiatus could be an extended one.
--How can you help?
--By taking out a subscription! Or buying magazines from our store!
Subscriptions are a measly $20 for 4 issues in the US. $24 for Canada/Mexico. $34 for the rest of the world.
We've re-initiated the APEX FOR LIFE subscription option that gives you Apex until you die. This goes for $100.
If you're interested in the magazine, but want to check it out before taking out a subscription, then take a look through our ample back catalog.
Or, heck, if you're wanting to show your support but not necessarily want a subscription, check out our ample back catalog.
Every person taking out APEX FOR LIFE subscriptions will be entered to win the following prizes:
1) ARC copy of Broken on the Wheel of Sex by Jack Ketchum (Overlook Connection)
2) Signed limited copy of Orpheus and the Pearl by Kim Paffenroth (Magus Press)
3) Signed copy of Homebody by Orson Scott Card
4) Limited signed copy of When Dark Descends by Charles L. Grand & Thomas F. Monteleone (Borderlands Press)
5) Hardcover copies of Gratia Placenti and Aegri Somnia edited by Gill Ainsworth and Jason Sizemore
Furthermore, every person taking out a lifetime subscription will receive a TPB copy of either Unwelcome Bodies or The Next Fix.
