Killer new horror anthology

I’m excited to see the Not Your Average Monster anthology, which includes my darkest-of-all story “Monsters.” And I say that as the guy who wrote Plague Year and Interrupt. Aha ha ha. “Monsters” is a bleak, sick story only for the strongest of heart!!!! 😉

Our good editor Pete Kahle has assembled quite the collection of twisted horror stories. Check it out!

Ebook. Pbook.

NO VAMPIRES… NO WEREWOLVES… NO ZOMBIES… BEEN THERE. DONE THAT.

You’ve heard their stories before and you’re screaming for a different breed of horror.

Those monsters have had their moments in the moonlight and now it’s time for us to bury them in their graves. Let’s lock them in their coffins, pierce their hearts with wooden stakes and shoot them between their rotting eyes with silver bullets from an AK-47.

You wanted some new monsters. You got ‘em.

Say “hello” to the ones that are still hidden by the shadows. The ones that peer from behind the gravestones with multi-faceted eyes and crawl from the sewers on slime-covered tentacles. The ones that stain the pages within this tome with the blood of their victims.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE MONSTER: A BESTIARY OF HORRORS

22 new monstrosities unleashed upon the world from the deviant minds of:

Kya Aliana, D. Morgan Ballmer, Rose Blackthorn, John Bruni, The Behrg, Jeff Carlson, Mark Carroll, Adrian Chamberlin, Adrian Cole, Richard Dansky, Jeremy Hepler, Beau Johnson, Pete Kahle, Rob Lammle, Esther M. Leiper-Estabrooks, Marc Lyth, Christine Morgan, Billie Sue Mosiman, Megan Neumann, Jason Parent, Joshua Rex, Seth Skorkowsky

THIS AIN’T YOUR DADDY’S NIGHTMARE!

Late to my own party: Vonnie in her native German!

Fun news from Germany, where The Frozen Sky has been released as Eisiger Himmel, which is especially appropo given that our hyper-educated, resourceful young heroine is herself from the Fatherland.

If you’re in Europe, here are two places to find the ebook and print editions.

Back To The Frozen Sky !!!

This sequel is way overdue. Life has interceded, but I’ve been dying to return to the ice… dying, that is, like someone with a sunfish eating their face! Bwah ha ha.

Who likes the killer artwork by Jacob Charles Dietz? Me me me me me.

I’ll let the jacket copy speak for itself:

SUNFISH VS HUMAN

A quake in the ice nearly kills Alexis Vonderach, setting off new confrontations with the blind alien tribes of Europa. In the weeks since First Contact, her crew has learned their bizarre language… but the sunfish are as violent as their world… Betrayed is a short 200 page sequel to The Frozen Sky by the international bestselling author of Plague Year.

Bonus material includes:
* ESA maps and schematics.
* Future history of the year 2113.
* The original short story of “Interrupt.”

Please note that I went out of my way to clarify this is a short novel rather than a George R.R. Martin-sized door stopper. Why? Because as I wrote it, I realized Betrayed is a complete story unto itself and makes a fine new entry in what I’m calling “the Europa series.” That’s right. Series. I’m working on Frozen Sky 3 as we speak.

Meanwhile there are fun promos coming up on io9 and SF Signal, including two guest blogs detailing my adventures on the 21^st Century writing scene. I’ll post reminders here as soon as they post there.

Because I’m a devilish SOB and this is partly the subject of one of those guest blogs, I’d also like to go on record RIGHT NOW as predicting that Frozen Sky 2: Betrayed will gather at least ten negative reader reviews from grumpy or confused individuals who’ll so cleverly use the word “betrayed” in their review titles. Why you ask again? Because snarky snarkalness is part of the E-Age.

Didn’t realize a title with the number 2 in it was a sequel? Thought the price of a cup of coffee was too high for a few hours of entertainment? Got a political axe to grind with my fictional characters in a dark sci fi future? Aha ha ha ha. Lunatic fringe, I know you’re out there.

My hope is anyone who liked the original Frozen Sky will enjoy Vonnie’s next adventure, too. Holy cheeseballs wrapped in bacon, this book was fun to write!!

It’s currently available on Kindle and Nook. Kobo and iTunes should be close behind. Smashwords is up. Oyster, Flipkart, Scribd, it’s all coming down like freaky aliens in the dark…
