Welcome to Volume Two - 27 New Stories - Available to Pre-Order

Something Wicked is an annual anthology of Science Fiction and Horror, edited by Joe Vaz and Vianne Venter.

Known as the godparent of South African genre fic, Something Wicked has been around in several different formats for nearly seven years.
This is the publication that first published Sarah Lotz; over the years Something Wicked has featured stories by authors such as Lauren Beukes, Richard Kunzmann, Sam Wilson, Abi Godsell and Cat Hellisen, to name just the South Africans.

We're delighted to announce that Something Wicked Anthology of Speculative Fiction, Volume Two, our second annual anthology, is being co-published by eKhaya, who will be handling the digital release and distribution of eBooks.
Volume Two is bursting at the seams with 27 awesome new stories from both established and brand new authors from all over the world. Volume Two features a brain-meltingly beautiful cover illustration by the amazing Vincent Sammy, and interior illustrations for every story by Pierre Smit.

"Joe and Vianne are talent-spotters of writers and illustrators par excellence, and superb editors. Definite recommend!"
- Lauren Beukes

Volume Two marks the official transition of Something Wicked from magazine to annual anthology, featuring brand new stories by writers from South Africa and abroad; seasoned veterens and first-timers brought together in a single book containing tales of post-apocolyptic dystopias, alternate realities, far-future science fiction and good old-fashioned blood-chilling horror.

Let your mind wander across distant galaxies, down darkened alleys, and across oceans of floating cities and let Something Wicked be your guide.
Let the journey begin.

We are thoroughly excited to bring you Volume Two.
Spread The Word. Tell Your Friends!

Volume Two is completed and waiting to go to the printers, all we need is to cover some of the set-up fees to get this sucker on the road to you!

This campaign is basically a pre-order system for Volume Two and an attempt to cover the book setup, proofs and distribution costs.
If you intend to buy Vol Two at some point, you might as well pre-order it from here as you will get major rewards and discounts, including hardcovers which will only be available through this campaign.

In return for your awesomeness we have some pre-order specials, including book bundles, ebook bundles and extremely limted edition hardcovers.

We've also sorted out our shipping fiasco from the Volume One campaign, so this time around Pre-order customers will actually receive their books before they go on sale. Promise :D

• Bundle Packs: - Buy Bulk and Save! Volume One and Two for a 30% less than cover price (excluding postage)
• Extremely Limited Edition Hardcovers: - get either or both anthologies in an extremely limited edition hardcover, with dust jacket.
  Hardcovers are ONLY available to backers of this campaign.
• Entire Something Wicked Magazine digital back-catalague: - Get every single eBook issue of Something Wicked (19 in total) in the format of your choice. (Issues 2, 3 and 9 only available as PDFs)

A bit skint right now? We get it, we're broke too.
Once the book is released The Book Lounge in Cape Town will have copies of the Limited Editions which you'll be able to order.
In the meantime hit those share buttons and spread the word of the Book. Make it so, minions... I mean friends.
