Cover Reveal: It Came From The Garage!

3/19/2019

0 Comments

 
Sleek as a fresh paint job, here's the cover art for our upcoming anthology of automotive horror: It Came From The Garage!

In terms of art, we went for a pulpy, B-movie aesthetic, hence the "horror film" titling and the toothy grin on the muscle car. But make no mistake - inside you'll find no-nonsense, no-holds-barred horror tales of haunted cruisers, possessed earthmovers, and bloodthirsty machines.

Kicking off the high-octane frights are two legendary headliners. We follow them up with another thirteen unique and original tales of cars behaving badly.

Gearheads, rejoice! This horror's right up your alley. It's coming soon, so watch this space for release dates.

Cover Reveal: Alma Mutters

3/8/2019

From Miami author and college professor Dr. Julio Varela comes our newest release: Alma Mutters. It's a biting parody of the private school system that will leave you in stitches. The release date is March 31, 2019.

​Xavier Mas Penoso is in over his head. He's returned to Bellarmine Jesuit Prep to teach Philosophy to the entitled teenage offspring of Miami's wealthiest families. Only, the hallowed halls of his alma mater aren't quite as gilded as when he was a student. Textbooks and notepads have been replaced with more laptops and i-Gadgets than the NSA Headquarters. The clergy running the school are P.T. Barnum’s spiritual successors: media-savvy priests who know that suckers are born every minute, and that they need a top-dollar education, too. Under their tutelage, the leaders of tomorrow develop skill sets in private and public sector corruption, depending on the boy’s appetites.

Xavier soon realizes he’s trapped in a job he hates. Academics has taken a distant backseat to Bellarmine’s Holy Trinity: the Hype, Spectacle, and Buzz that justify its raking in tuition fees twice the size of J-Lo’s biker shorts. But Xavier is not one to give up on his principles so quickly. With empty-headed teens keyed up on Ecstasy on one hand, and a corrupt administration on the other, he plots his glorious revenge that could cost him his teaching career.

Here's lookin' at you, sweetheart. Feast your eyes on the cover for our upcoming title, The Secret Files of Hugo & Victoria, by Buck Buchanan.

​​Laugh out loud comedy meets noir mystery and paranormal action within The Secret Files of Hugo & Victoria.

Hugo is a hardboiled private eye writer with wits as sharp as a switchblade. Victoria is a vampiress in denial of her mystic heritage. The duo solve the most outlandish crimes and write novels about their experiences as only private eye writers can.

Together, this unlikely pair face off against a mob of crazed coin collectors, a terrorist attack by the international criminal Ibn Etin Salami, a coven of evil vampigs and hampires (like vampires, but with more oinks and grunts), and more absurd and amazing scenarios than you can shake a vampire bat at.

Will they survive? Can the unlikely pair find love? And will Hugo ever fix his rust-bucket “classic” Yugo? Find out in The Secret Files of Hugo & Victoria.

The book will be released February 28, 2019, but pre-order your copy today so you can the first on your block to own a copy!

Cover Reveal: I Was A Teenage Cuban Arsonist

Feast your eyes on this! Here's the cover reveal for Ramiro Perez's latest book, I Was A Teenage Cuban Arsonist.

Likening it less to a memoir and more to a "highlight reel" of his life, the book examines his first four decades of life. You can expect a fair amount of action, adventure, and tongue-in-cheek humor.

His story begins in 1941 with an account of his early family life, growing up with his two older brothers in Havana, Cuba. Young Ramiro gets into trouble with nuns, discovers girls, gets taken for a vicious joyride by his two older cousins, and inadvertently sets fire to his family's farm.

Things only start to heat up after his arrival in Miami. His parents having decided that he should lay low in Miami while Castro's uprising blows over, he leaves Cuba for the United States.

​Alone, with only a few dollars in his pocket and a decent grasp on English, he struggles to make ends meet. Eventually, Ramiro is recruited into a counterrevolutionary movement formed in Miami to oppose Castro's regime. In a blink, young Ramiro goes from penniless immigrant to soldier of fortune with a weekly paycheck. There's just one problem: he's a staunch pacifist, but he doesn't let this fact keep him from spending the money he's given.

​Mr. Perez's memoirs will be chock full of anecdotes, some heartbreaking, others laugh-out-loud funny.

The release date is January 31, 2019, but you can pre-order today.
