Inkless Media

An eclectic blend of science fiction, horror and the fantastical. 24 tales from authors across the globe: South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, England, Canada and the USA. A bloodthirsty teddy bear, an alien trapped in a child, a lunch date between God and the Devil, orphaned zombie children, a bio-mechanical android, a murder within a game, a small town's age-old curse, an ancient evil in darkest Africa, an unorthodox exorcism, a sacrifice to the gods and a mourning generation ship.
The past, present, future and more in Something Wicked Volume One

"Like a serial-killing zombie clown's suitcase, the Something Wicked Anthology is full of deliciously wicked surprises, packing more stellar stories into its pages than anyone has a right to expect. Guaranteed scares, superb illustrations and stunning production values from the doting godparent of South African shocks - don't read after midnight, and don't miss out." - SL Grey

"[Editors] Joe and Vianne are talent-spotters of writers and illustrators par excellence, and superb editors. Definite recommend!" Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City

Praise For Something Wicked Magazine:
"Something Wicked is South Africa's best... speculative, science fiction and horror magazine."
- Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City

"Something Wicked is a professionally rendered product that is one of a kind in South Africa, and in my opinion, also ranks amongst the top three speculative fiction magazines produced in the English-speaking world..."
- Richard Kunzmann

"It is hard to find a body of work more darkly enjoyable than the twenty issues (to date) of Something Wicked magazine."
- Jared Shurin, Pornokitsch.com
