Editor\u2019s Note Nov 2011<\/p>\n

We\u2019re late.
\nWhat an insane month October was.
\nIn my other life, (the one that pays my bills at the end of the month), I am an actor and unfortunately, for Something Wicked at least, October was one of the busiest months I\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n

Within 48 hours of wrapping up Issue 14 I was on a film set and that pretty much set the tone for the entire month, across three shoots and two continents I worked non-stop for the entire month.<\/p>\n

Even now I am writing this on a set in-between shots. That\u2019s my way of saying, \u201cI\u2019m sorry guys, I know we\u2019re late,\u201d there have literally not been enough hours in the day to get this issue out on time.<\/p>\n

Fortunately my slaves assistants were hard at work editing and proofing the stories for this month\u2019s issue, so progress was made, but the delay is all my fault.<\/p>\n

But let us not worry about the past and instead look forward to the future.<\/p>\n

Let me get going with the Nov issue; our first story this month comes from Lynne Jamneck and it\u2019s a journey into \u201cdarkest Africa\u201d at the turn of the last century, where a small group of adventurers go in search of answers in \u201cInto The Black Abyss\u201d.<\/p>\n

Next up is \u201cScission\u201d which is about an epic battle between good and evil by Domenico Pisanti as both forces meet for a showdown\u2026 over lunch.<\/p>\n

Our third story for the month is \u201cMindflow\u201d by Cedar Sanderson, in which a generation ship carries its crew in search of a habitable planet, and we close of the issue with a story of possession and exorcism in \u201cWhat is Evil, What is Not\u201d by Sylvia Hiven.<\/p>\n

Our feature interview for the month is with author Steven Amsterdam and we review his book, Things We Didn\u2019t See Coming<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our non-fiction piece for this month takes a look at the South African genre scene written by SL Grey, as well as our usual madness and nonsense in Mark Sykes\u2019s Sixth Sense of Humour, which this month is an homage to homages.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s our issue; we hope you enjoy it and that the wait was worth it. To our subscribers, once again my sincere apologies and please have a look at our heartfelt video apology on the site or through http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8AU7usTFlwo<\/a> which will hopefully put a bit of a smile on your dial.<\/p>\n

Thank you all again for the continued support of our little mag.<\/p>\n

Till next month, farewell.<\/p>\n
