The fear is here, ready to latch onto your eardrums in the form of a terrifying new audiobook edition of Shadows And Teeth, Volume 3. Series narraror Wyatt S. Gray returns to give voice to these all-new nightmares by such celebrated and bestselling authors as the legendary Guy N. Smith, the prolific Adam Millard, master of horror Nicholas Paschall, and more. Take care as you reach into these dark places, for the things here bite, and you may withdraw a hand short of a few fingers.

​Good news comes in two’s! Last December we announced Chris Cobb was joining Darkwater with our first ever two-book deal. Mr. Cobb signed on with double barrels loaded with twin sci-fi sensations: A Moon Called Sun and The Slant Six. The latter of these is his latest work, and it is rockin' the literary scene!

​Staring with glowing praise from NYT bestselling author Piers Anthony, the book is blasting off to new heights with an  award nomination and reviews! See below for more info.

In case you were wondering what the book's about: you've got classic cruiser spaceships, sexy space vampires, wisecracking robots, and a wild chase across the solar system. Add to the mix a washed up race driver fighting for a big paycheck and a mysterious woman sitting shotgun, and what you've got is the recipe for white-hot sci-fi action.

​It's just been announced that The Slant Six is a semi-finalist in the 2017 Royal Palm Literary Award Contest in the category of published book-length science fiction. The RPLA is a prestigious award competition hosted by the Florida Writers Association. The judging is stringent and the competition is fiercer than ever. Placing as a semi-finalist is a major achievement in itself. Wish Chris luck as the competition enters is final stages. We'll have the results in October at the RPLA annual banquet.

Underground Book Reviews has just accepted The Slant Six for review consideration. This is big news, because they are selective with the books they choose to send to their review team. They support indie authors, and are set up to be a literary community where authors can connect with each other and with service providers such as cover designers and freelance editors. Through both user recommendations and professional reviews, the diamonds in the rough are given a chance to shine. Underground Book Reviews is here to embrace the indie community by bringing you the reckless creativity of independent authors, while promising a polished finish to rival the standards of traditional publishing.

Come met our authors next week at Spooky Empire!

It's time to pipe the fear straight into your eardrums, because The Father of Flesh is now an audiobook, narrated by Christopher Walsh.

​Mr. Walsh is a writer and actor based in Chicago, IL. He is a member of the artistic ensemble at Lifeline Theatre, a company member and Literary Manager of WildClaw Theatre, a member of the Dramatists Guild, and SAG-AFTRA.

Christopher has performed with a number of Chicago companies including Lifeline Theatre, the House Theatre of Chicago, the Factory Theater Company, Strawdog Theatre, A Red Orchid Theatre, Griffin Theatre, Right Brain Project, and City Lit. He’s also made it to the small screen a couple of times, with appearances on Chicago Fire (NBC) and Betrayal (ABC). Favorite roles include Abraham Pride in The Hammer Trinity, Sgt. Jackrum in Monstrous Regiment, Porthos in The Three Musketeers, Bigwig in Watership Down, and Mr. Vandemar in Neverwhere.

Hope you've got a cast-iron stomach, because Tarot of Hate will gross you out. Death and vengeance are in the cards in this macabre collection of horror. So cut the deck and deal, if you dare, for no matter which cards you draw, you can be assured there will be blood.

The audiobook is expertly narrated by Jay R. Smith, a singer and musician in Washington state. Mr. Smith brings real energy and drama to the narration, turning this macabre production into a freak show of gut-wrenching details and showers of gore. He also narrates Holy: A Novel by Abbie Krupnick, a psychologically chilling tale about surviving a psychoanalytic exorcism and a voracious frost-demon out to gnaw Gus Stevens's bones.

Both Tarot of Hate and Holy: A Novel are available at Amazon.com, Audible, and the Apple iStore.
