The Haunter of the Threshold by Edward Lee
How many fetishes can you name?
. . . because Hazel Greene has them all and more. Others may find her rape fantasies and water sports off-putting but she doesn't care – she needs them. After a fight with her boyfriend, she gets just what she wants – a road trip with the very pregnant love of her life to the mild of nowhere.
But there is something very wrong with this backwater town. Suicide notes, magic gems, and haunted cabins await her. Plus the woods are filled with monster, both human and otherworldly. And then there are the horrible tentacles . . .
Soon Hazel is thrown into a battle for her life that will test her sanity and sex drive. The sequel to H.P. Lovecraft's The Haunter of the Dark is Edward Lee's most pornographic novel to date!
Coming this December from Deadite Press . . .

Two new Deadite Press Releases!
I Destroyed Your Life
I Raped Your Wife
I Am the Fucking Whargoul
From the killing grounds of Stalingrad to the death camps of the holocaust. From torture chambers in Iraq to race riots in the United States, the Whargoul was there – killing and raping. It is a beast bore in bullets and shrapnel, feeding off of pain, misery, and hard drugs. Cursed to wander the Earth without the hope of death, it is reborn again and again to spread the gospel of hate, abuse, and genocide.
But what if it's not the only monster out there? What if there's something worse?
From Dave Brockie, the twisted genius behind GWAR, comes a novel about the darkest days of the twentieth century. The modern world is dying and Brockie is here to put a bullet between its eyes and violate the corpse.
This is all-out fucking war!
An intense sadistic tale of how one man will save the world through sterilization.
When Todd was just a child, he learned that sometimes it was necessary to sterilize or euthanize animals in order to keep their population from growing too rapidly. It was the humane thing to do, the best thing for the environment. Yet, every day at his job at the Welfare Department, Todd sees the dregs of humanity multiplying unchecked, overburdening the earth with a tidal wave of waste, abuse, and cruelty. But if he can convince them not to reproduce, if he can convince everyone to voluntarily sterilize themselves, then he might just prevent the coming population explosion. And those who can't be convinced…
Population Zero is the story of an environmental activist named Todd Hammerstein who is on a mission to save the planet. In just 50 years the population of the planet is expected to double. But not if Todd can help it.
From Wrath James White, the celebrated master of sex and splatter, comes a tale of environmentalism, drugs, and genital mutilation.
They'll be out just in time for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other gift-giving time you may have with with family/friends.

Carlton Mellick III's new zombie novel!
Carlton Mellick III's has out a new novel and, in my opinion, this is his best book to date. It's a totally gore and punk filled zombie epic that makes me feel all warm and squishy inside. Trust me, buy this book!
Battle Royale meets Return of the Living Dead in this post-apocalyptic action adventure Twenty people wake to find themselves in a boarded-up building in the middle of the zombie wasteland. They soon realize they have been chosen as contestants on a popular reality show called Zombie Survival. Each contestant is given a backpack of supplies and a unique weapon. Their goal: be the first to make it through the zombie-plagued city to the pick-up zone alive. But because there's only one seat available on the helicopter, the contestants not only have to fight off the hordes of the living dead, they must also fight each other.
Zombies and Shit is Mellick's craziest book to date. A campy, trashy, punk rock gore fest that is as funny as it is brutal, as sad as it is strange. An edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that twists the zombie genre into something you've never seen before.

Presenting: Cripple Wolf!
As I've already announced, the third Bizarro Starter Kit is out. I loved reading first Starter Kit and I credit that as what got me into Bizarro. The second one exposed me to more authors like Mykle Hansen, Jordan Krall, Andersen Prunty, and others. They were my introduction to people I now value as coworkers, friends, and family.
I am honored to be included in the third volume, purple (also my favorite color), alongside conspirators as Cameron Pierce, Andrew Goldfarb, David Agranoff, Cody Goodfellow, Athena Villaverde, Garrett Cook, Matthew Reveret, Kris Saknussemm, and Russell Edson.
My contribution is a new novella – Cripple Wolf. It is about a wheelchair bound werewolf on board an airplane that caters to various fetishes. Chrissy Horchheimer (the artist for Super Giant Monster Time!) illustrated the story. Here's a preview:
"He didn't really want to kill the baby but he did it anyway.
He snatched the infant out of its mother's arms and sunk his teeth into the baby's soft chest. It squealed like a stuck piglet.
The mother's screams pierced his ears. He bitch-slapped her with his hairy paw but she kept screaming, staring at her mutilated baby dangling from his other claw. He swiped at her again and, at that exact same moment, the plane hit a rough patch of turbulence. His claw sliced cleanly through her neck and the rocking of the cabin sent the head bounding into the overhead storage compartment and straight off into the middle of a row of passengers.
Panic exploded in the crowd.
He snorted, his senses aroused by the blood, sweat, and fear in the recycled air. The infant convulsed in his claws. He lapped its blood with his wide flat tongue and then tossed the little pork chop aside.
He spun and wheeled toward his next victim."

Bizarro Starter Kit (Purple)
Out now from Eraserhead Press – the third Bizarro Starter Kit. This time the color is purple and ten more Bizarro Authors present stories and novellas.
There's a new genre rising from the underground. Its name: BIZARRO. For years, readers have been asking for a category of fiction dedicated to the weird, crazy, cult side of storytelling that has become a staple in the film industry (with directors such as David Lynch, Takashi Miike, Tim Burton, and even Lloyd Kaufman) but has been largely ignored in the literary world, until now. The Bizarro Starter Kit (Purple) features short novels and story collections by ten of the leading authors in the bizarro genre:
Russell Edson – prose poems
Athena Villaverde – Clockwork Girl
David Agranoff – Punkupines of the Apocalypse
Matthew Revert – three stories
Andrew Goldfarb – comics
Jeff Burk – Cripple Wolf
Garrett Cook – Re-Mancipator
Kris Saknussemm – Sparklewheel
Cody Goodfellow – Homewreckers
Cameron Pierce – The Destroyed Room
