Splitting Sides 3
Splitting Sides is back for round three! Based on the stories from horror writer, David Schembri, this third issue does not hold back. Once again, every page features distinct and dazzling illustrations by the author along with his darkly humorous tribute to horror comics of the 50s. Splitting Sides 3 presents two new tales: Death's Auction and Back to Byte You.
Dive the depths of the underworld and into deep and dark caverns, there you will encounter Death himself, along with his servant. You will have to read it to believe it.
After that, you will be transported into space. At the defence line of planet Earth, you will follow the history of the Human military’s development of the Doom Canon. During the dreaded attack by an Alien species, the crew of the defending battleship discover they have more problems than the impending invasion.
Yes, there is a lot of action to be had here, and oh the horror!
Along with a delightfully entertaining advertisement and the addition of Daily Funnies that feature the comic strips, Stranded and Smart Dad, this third issue will leave you horrified and giggling at the same time. Sit back and enjoy the crazy corners of David's mind.

Praise & Reviews
Unearthly Fables" is a book that every fan of short, sharp fiction must have on his bookshelf. David Schembri's fiction is dark and brutal, and although it cuts to the chase, it still manages to be eloquent and descriptive, giving his flash fiction a distinctly poetic edge. And, as the word 'fable' in the title suggests, there is a fairy tale feel to many of his stories. I'm looking forward to reading more of David's fables in the future.
‘Cameron Trost, author and publisher of Black Beacon Books.
I love poetry mixed in with short fiction, and there's much to like about this collection of deliciously dark offerings from David Schembri (including some fab accompanying illustrations). Beneath the Ferny Tree is a versatile collection that delves into dark fantasy and as comfortably as it does the dark underbelly of humanity.
