Machine of Death 2 – the table of contents!

I’m proud of (most of) my story sales, but last year when I heard I’d made it into Machine of Death 2 I couldn’t believe it. The sheer volume of submissions (nearly 2,000!) was mind-boggling, and for my tale to be picked out of such a huge slush pile was astonishing and deeply humbling.

So here is the table of contents for the second volume of this best selling anthology series. Courtesy of the Machine of Death site, lots of details have been revealed. There’s no release date yet, but interesting discussions are going on and the titles are intriguing.
