Terror Tuesday: RADIO MUSTARD by James Brown

Posted on by

RADIO MUSTARD, inspired and influenced by Bakshi’s “Heavy Traffic,” William S. Burroughs “Naked Lunch,” Hunter S. Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing,” and 1981’s animated classic “Heavy Metal” among many others, is a violent, vulgar, and expansive examination of the past, present, and future of the fantastical society of Stockinghop, a putrid settlement only accessible through a portal in the mind of Luther Kale, a troubled, anthropomorphic, acid-tripping hot dog.

Terror Tuesday: AMERICAN CANNIBAL edited by Rebecca Rowland

Posted on by

Everything you were taught about the Land of Liberty is about to be history.

A mother and daughter negotiate the Oregon Trail with grisly results; an elementary teacher watches the carnage of The Challenger explosion spill over into her own classroom. A possible prospector traveling west is drawn to an isolated inn where no one walks away hungry; a 1950s housewife shares the gruesome repertoire of behavior expected of a proper lady. Prohibition and women’s suffrage, the Civil War and the Vietnam War, the JFK assassination conspiracy and the Y2K hysteria: the annals of American history are reimagined with a side order of cannibalism by twenty of the biggest names writing horror fiction today.

Terror Tuesday: ALTERNATIVE HOLIDAYS edited by Alicia Hilton

Posted on by

ALTERNATIVE HOLIDAYS (edited by Alicia Hilton and Bob Brown) is an anthology that takes a dark—and sometimes humorous—look at many of our favorite holidays.

You will be transported from the bottom of the sea to Mount Olympus, from shopping malls in hell to a bathtub in a cheap motel. Cthulhu awakens. Cupid becomes a vigilante. Santa grants deadly wishes. And that is just the beginning of your journey into alternative visions of the holidays we know, love, and sometimes fear.

Be prepared to be shocked, titillated, and petrified. Alternative Holidays presents 43 works by award-winning and critically acclaimed authors of horror, science fiction, fantasy, and mystery.
