ABOUT THE “GOLDEN AGE” MEGAPACKS
A couple of people have asked what sets the “Golden Age” Megapacks apart from our regular Megapacks. A few things...first, all of the Golden Age stories come from a set period of time (from the 1940s and 1950s—though I have also allowed one from 1960, since it was undoubted written in 1959!) while “regular” Megapacks can (and do!) span the 19th, 20th, and 21st century for their contents.
The Golden Age Megapacks also tend to be a bit shorter and focus only on one author. (I know, some of the regular Megapacks do, too—but our signature series , such as The Science Fiction Megapack, The Mystery Megapack, and The Western Megapack, etc. all use multiple authors.
ABOUT THE MEGAPACKS
Over the last few years, our “Megapack” series of ebook anthologies has grown to be among our most popular endeavors. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”
The Megapacks (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This includes John Betancourt (me), Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Bonner Menking, Colin Azariah-Kribbs, A.E. Warren, and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!)
A NOTE FOR KINDLE READERS
The Kindle versions of our Megapacks employ active tables of contents for easy navigation…please look for one before writing reviews on Amazon that complain about the lack! (They are sometimes at the ends of ebooks, depending on your reader.)
