PRIESTESS Contest!

“Laugh all you want, motherf**kers.

You’re forgetting one thing. Or rather, three things.

Three…

little…

words… “

– from Red Monolith Frenzy Book 1 of the Blackstone series by Justine G

Yes, that Triple-Word of Power sure lets our Justine get away with a lot in the Blackstone series! And she’s never hinted at the actual words, nope, not anywhere in the text, and never in our personal interactions with her either. Which, to be completely honest, we’re rather thankful for, all things considered. As p...

PRIESTESS Cover Reveal with Art by Jim Pavelec

We’re releasing the first volume of Justine Geoffrey‘s collected Blackstone Erotica series, PRIESTESS, on Friday September 13, but we’re so tingly in our design-nethers about the cover that we’re going to give all you Migraineers (that’s what we’re calling MMP readers now, take note!) a little preview! Graphic design by the MMP DesignDroid5000 (as per usual) and artwork by none other than Jim Pavelek, whose gorgeous grotesques have graced the interiors of many a gaming manual, covers of Dark...

‘When The Stars Are Right’ TOC Announced

Our author S R Jones has finalized the Table of Contents for his upcoming non-fiction work, When The Stars Are Right: Towards An Authentic R’lyehian Spirituality, and so this morning we present it to you, our discerning and classy Migraineers, in all its perplexing and evocative tease. With a Foreword by Jordan Stratford and interior illos by Michael Lee Macdonald, this book (which we’re producing in our usual e-formats AND the hoary old medium of *gasp* PRINT!) will offer to the reader an in...

Funny Little Games: Ross Lockhart’s “Tales of Jack the Ripper” (review)

I know what everyone knows about Jack the Ripper: Whitechapel serial murderer of the late 19th Century. Five victims, all prostitutes. Taunting missives to the authorities. Some odd, ritualistic elements to the crime scenes. Never caught, and so the bogeyman figure of Jack is shadowed in conspiracy and horror to this day. And that? That’s about it, as far as my knowledge of the Ripper goes. Not what you’d call “in-depth”. I’ve (partially) seen From Hell, but it was around the time I was going...

The Voyeur at the Threshold: Shimizu Takashi’s “MAREBITO”

(this review appeared originally on the Lovecraft eZine, May 23, 2013)

Marebito (2004)

Directed by: Shimizu Takashi

Starring: Shinya Tsukamoto, Tomomi Miyashita

J-horror films rarely tread beyond their traditional revengeful ghost-children territory (or at least, the films that see release beyond Japan don’t) so it’s refreshing to come across Marebito, (loosely translates to The Stranger From Afar, apparently) which is undeniably weird, disturbingly perverse, and, though its treatment of the them...

Enjoy A Sneak Peak at Blackstone Book 3! (NSFW)

Hey perverts! Justine G here. The MMP docents have allowed me this divine moment of bandwidth to present to you the Prologue to the next Blackstone Erotica outing, continuing my sordid tale of sex and sorcery. Book 3 will be titled YELLOW SIGN BOUND and it’s full of crazed artists, possessed investigators, cursed daggers and of course, more weird couplings (triplings? grouplings?) than you can reasonably process.

Anyway, I know it’s been a while since Summonings: Yvette’s Interview and even lo...

JustineG Feels the Hebridean Love for BLACKSTONE Erotica

Calum MacIver, a UK based blogger on all things underground, trashy, and hell, fun, has been digging into Martian Migraine Press author Justine G‘s weird-erotic opus BLACKSTONE Erotica series lately. Check out these excerpts from his reviews of Red Monolith Frenzy, Green Fever Dream, and the two (so far!) Summonings books…

“The plot is intriguing, the writing is smooth and elegant and there are some really clever turns of phrase that help the forward momentum and at the same time deliver an in...

Grok This NEWSCLUSTER! Reviews, Previews, Artwork!

Folks, it’s been a while since we dropped some mad Martian Migraine Press knowledge on you, so here goes: gird your loins for a NEWSCLUSTER!

We’re told by our author SRJones that his auto-ethnographical non-fiction book, When The Stars Are Right: Towards An Authentic R’lyehian Spirituality, is nearly complete. “It’s reading less like a work of Lovecraftian apologetics now, and more like a wigged-out crank religious text,” he says. “Which bothered me, initially, but I’ve since decided to just g...

Humbert Humbert in the Heart of the Pornocracy: SRJones reviews NIRA/SUSSA

I’m primarily concerned with horror in my work, and as such I’m all too aware of how the genre can bog down in its own awfulness and become comfortable with the feelings it delivers. Which is why I appreciate it when writing that is not horror brings that emotion to the forefront. Even better if the horror is that of Self, of the shadow within. Enter NIRA/SUSSA…
