This week's sponsor is Chatwin Books, and we're featuring the introduction and a full chapter from The Announcers, by J.G Perkins.

This is the first volume in Perkins' 19-volume Darkness Before Mourning, one of the largest series of serious fiction ever created by a single author. We're featuring the Introduction, and chapter 15, for you to read in their entirety.
