What makes Unfettered a more unique read is that all proceeds are going to directly to relieve the crippling medical bills of the editor, Shawn Speakman, after beating cancer. Read more about Shawn’s story and the inception of the anthology here.
There are two editions of Unfettered. The is the first edition which is leather-bound and signed by all the authors. With only 500 copies, this edition has already sold out. The second is an unsigned trade hardcover, but includes a blank signing page for you to collect your favorite authors’ signatures! Buy this edition from Grim Oak Press now.
That’s quite a lineup.
Is there going to be a digital version of this available at some point? This sounds amazing, but shipping to the UK is prohibitively expensive, and I don’t want to miss out!
Looks and sounds great Peter. Well done and all the best.
As of yet, we don’t know of any plans for an ebook … the best place to find out is the Shawn’s page for Unfettered: http://grimoakpress.com/2012/08/unfettered-edited-by-shawn-speakman/
Hey Peter,
Thanks for letting me know about this. I’m pretty stoked about the whole thing. I wish I’d known when the leatherbound ones were being parceled out.
The only downside to the whole thing was that I was order #1336. So close to being elite…
