New Tim Waggoner up for preorder! Like Death and Like Death 2: Kill Them All
Like Death
by Tim Waggoner
There are no words for it. Ecstasy is laughably inadequate, as are rapture, euphoria, bliss … Ugly, harsh syllables that come nowhere near capturing the merest fraction of what he feels. The experience is primal and transcendent, like birth, like death. Scott Raymond lost his parents in a bloodbath when he was only nine years old, but despite the occasional headaches and hallucinations, he’s managed to turn that trauma into moderate success as a true-crime writer. The success doesn’t extend to keeping up the relationship with his estranged wife and son, however.
Hoping to regain a sense of normal family life, he follows them to Ash Creek, Ohio under the pretense of writing a new book about a missing six-year-old girl. There, he encounters a young woman who shares the missing girl’s name. She leads Scott into a world of psychotropic spiders, shark-toothed teenagers, and the expression of nearly every dark desire. Fear and fascination lay equal claim as the nightmare fantasies of this realm bleed into Scott’s daily life and his attempts to maintain a relationship with his son. Soon, he will need to use this world of cruelty and pain to face his past, his future, and what his life might have become. If he fails, it is only a matter of time before the nightmare that bloodied his childhood will reach out to ensnare his own son.

Like Death 2: Kill Them All
by Tim Waggoner
It’s not easy being the child of a notorious serial killer.
David Raymond’s father Scott – known as the Artiste for the grotesque way he posed his victims – disappeared from prison twenty years ago without a trace. Since that time, David has become a virtual recluse to avoid media attention. But when his mother falls ill, and he needs money to pay for her care, he grudgingly decides to accept an invitation to be the Guest of Honor at Killcon, a gathering of true-crime enthusiasts in Ash Creek, the town where Scott committed the last of his murders.
But the dark forces that once plagued his father have other plans for him.
David finds himself transported to a sinister realm called Undernight where he’s forced to participate in a life-or-death reality competition called Kill Them All. What he doesn’t know is his Undernight doppelganger has taken his place in the real world, and this David is as deadly a killer as Scott Raymond ever was, if not deadlier. While David struggles to survive nightmarish challenges based on his life, his doppelganger wreaks blood-soaked havoc at Killcon, leaving a trail of corpses in his wake.
A mysterious woman named Miranda – who may or may not be the same Miranda who
introduced David’s father to the depraved realm of Shadow – comes to David’s aid. But is her true intention to help him live long enough to win the game, or does she have other, darker motives of her own?
The two Davids eventually confront each other halfway between Earth and Undernight, and there they learn they’ve both been pawns in a much larger game, one that stretches back twenty years.
If they can’t stop it, two worlds will be destroyed. But even if they can, there’s no guarantee their victory won’t result in something infinitely worse.
Let the games within games begin…

JEX Delay and Last Chance for two Philip Fracassi limited editions!
There was a quality error on the majority of the copies of Jex by Chad Lutzke. I am getting the books redone so they will not ship for several weeks. I apologize for the delay. A handful of copies made it out to customers, I am working on a solution for those as well.
Also, this is the last weekend to pre-order two upcoming Philip Fracassi limited editions!

Shipping Update! Three new announcements. Amor, Laimo, Lutzke!
These titles should start shipping this week!
****************************************************************************************************
White Pines
by Gemma Amor
A woman, returning to her roots. A town, built on sacred land. A secret, cloaked in tradition and lore.
Welcome to WHITE PINES. Don’t get too comfortable.
A cosmic-folk-Celtic-cult-fantasy-horror novel about a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a mysterious Island, a vanishing community, customs that are older than anyone can say, clashing universes, horrible beasts and strange geometry, this is a surreal tribute to worlds unseen and yet felt, to places where reality is thinner and all the rules we are accustomed to no longer apply.

Missed Connection
by Michael Laimo
New York City Fashion Executive Peter Delmonico has had a rough life. Physically abused by his father as a child, and mentally abused by his wife as an adult, he sees no choice but to let his inner demons guide him through life. Obsessed with photography for as long as he can remember, he takes a detour one afternoon into NYC’s Bryant Park, where he snaps a photo of a beautiful woman who bumps into him, and then kisses him, only to vanish into the crowd as mysteriously as she appeared. Determined to bring true love into his life, Peter sets out on a journey throughout Manhattan to find her, his only real lead the photo he took of her in his camera.
Missed Connection is an intense erotic thriller filled with twists and turns, a raunchy, funny, sexy, satirical, and somewhat diabolical look at life in Manhattan through the eyes of a damaged man who only wants to love, and be loved.

Jex
by Chad Lutzke
For the first time, together in one book, comes Lutzke’s most authentic coming–of–age world, heavily inspired by his own years of ignorance and debauchery.
Broad Street Bastard:
While working through his twelve–step program, eighteen–year–old Jex gets a new job and his first apartment. But staying clean and out of trouble never did come naturally. And this time trouble finds him.
What starts as a season of promiscuity ends in morbid fashion. Now it’s up to Jex to uncover who wants him dead.
Slow Burn on Riverside
“Taking my mind for granted became my biggest regret.”
When 18–year–old Jex moves into a new apartment, his roommate’s descent into drugs paves the way for mental illness, while Jex deals with their sexually assertive landlady. But when her teenage son shows up, things take a very dark turn.
The Same Deep Water as You:
Music, beer, skateboarding, and tragedy star in this coming–of–age lesson on love and lust and the line that divides them, as once solid relationships reveal themselves to be more than he can handle.
Cover art by Chad Lutzke.
