The Terminates Here 365

Whenever I think back to The Dark Scene 500, my thoughts often turn to the songs that didn’t make it in. Many fell foul of the ‘3 per band’ limit, others were good songs that simply got dropped to balance out the chapters, and many didn’t fit the stylistic scope of the book. So here’s the follow-up. The Terminates Here 365. One song for every day of the year – no rules for inclusion except I think it’s worth a listen. 

To see things unfold, follow my Terminates Here DJ Page on Facebook.

The Dark Scene 500 – Store Open

The Dark Scene 500 is now for sale within it’s own store on this site.  This includes the EPUB version which is now on general sale at GBP 7.50 worldwide.  This should be a competitive option for interested readers outside of Europe, as there are few economical shipping options available for books of this size.  

I’m working on getting the EPUB and possibly the printed version listed on other stores.  As both books have an ISBN and are in print, some stores are listing it anyway, but please only purchase it from sources listed on terminateshere.org to prevent delays in delivery.  

The Dark Scene 500 – Latest News

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Dark Scene 500 in recent weeks. Sales of the printed book have gone well and many of you have now bought one, but there’s plenty of copies left.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257143449817

I’m currently trying to launch the EPUB version and also get the physical version listed on other stores. This inevitably involves registration, awaiting approvals and other jumping-through-hoop processes. More news when listings are confirmed – all sale options will be listed on The Dark Scene 500 page.

In terms of selling the book in person, plans are in early stages but hopefully a few opportunities will crop up before the year is out.
