Unfortunate news regarding the upcoming issue of CHM.

Dear Loyal Readers,

We are all aware of the supply chain issues causing shortages in everything from cars to pasta to toilet paper. For quite a while, it seemed like Cosmic Horror Monthly was mystically immune to the woes of the pandemic. Sadly, trouble has caught up with us.

    I have been notified that our print supplier is completely out of paper for the time being. It is wild, there truly is a worldwide paper shortage currently. We are seeking out all possible options to remedy the situation and to get things back to normal but unfortunately, we will be unable to deliver a print edition for March in a timely fashion. We cannot order from a competing print supplier without raising our prices. Ultimately, the paper shortage is across the board. We had a similar issue take place in December. I chose to print the run myself from home, a run that has grown tremendously. It was enough to make me consider walking away from CHM and I don't want to return to that place. I love putting this magazine together and a one-man printing operation, it is not.

    I know how important each issue is to the collector so fret not. The print edition of March will see the light of day. I just do not know exactly when that will be. For the time being, I will ensure everyone receives a digital copy one week earlier than the typical release. Still, I understand many will seek partial or full refunds and if that is the case for you, simply respond to this email with your wishes and I will respond quickly.

    In the future, I will do my best to be more prepared for these situations to arise and I am truly sorry for any pain caused by this news. Thank you kindly for your patience and your understanding.

Charles
