From the pages of Whisper Heights Independent School Panel's newsletter to the streets of a zombie-apocalypse'd hellscape, Year One is a quick and merciless jaunt through whatever counts as mundane to the poor sods who reside within its pages-those characters to whom we relate all too well. In the first of a planned series of yearly efforts, Whisper House Press has gathered in this short volume the exceptional work published on its website over the past twelve months. In these pages, we welcome to the Whisper House stage C.J. Erick, Jonathan Reddoch, HFJ Ballard, Val Chatindo, J. Niera, Jamie Janazian, Paul Lonardo, Jen Mierisch, Liam Hogan, Theodore Hill, and Erin Dawkins.
