While we wait for news of the contributors to our upcoming WRAPPED IN BLACK anthology – We thought we’d share this NEW RELEASE from fabulous indie-author

Leigh M. Lane
Jane the Hippie Vampire: Love Beads 

CLICK IMAGE TO BUY

She’s broke and homeless. She’s a vegan. She’s undead.

Jane has had one hell of a time ever since she bumped into the wrong guy during the Summer of Love, but she’s taken it all in stride. Wandering from town to town, she seeks out the needy and the broken in hopes of breaking the curse that’s left her bloodthirsty and forever seventeen.

In Love Beads, Jane crosses paths with a middle-aged man who’s encountered her kind before–but he seems happy just to have the company. Of course, appearances can be deceiving, and his secret might just prove to be the end of her.

Love Beads is the first novella in the Jane the Hippie Vampire series.

Leigh M. Lane has been writing for over twenty years. She has ten published novels and twelve published short stories divided among different genre-specific pseudonyms. She is married to editor Thomas B. Lane, Jr. and currently resides in the hot and dusty outskirts of Sin City. Her traditional Gothic horror novel, FINDING POE, was a finalist in the 2013 EPIC Awards in horror.

Her other novels include WORLD-MART–a tribute to Orwell, Serling, and Vonnegut–and the dark allegorical tale, MYTHS OF GODS.

(meet the authors here)

Tragedy begets terror, then circles back on itself, and a cycle is born that ripples through the worlds of the living and dead eternally, until satisfied by love, tears–or blood…

The creators of Wrapped In Red have struck again, unfurling thirteen gossamer shrouds of woe and weirdness, laying bare the faces of fear that watch and wait in the shadows of cemeteries, the corners of ancient structures, the thoughts we wish we didn’t think . Some will crawl under your skin, some will batter you senseless with limitless otherworldly power, others will walk a line as thin as the veil between us and them.

Leave the lights on for this collection–but know that no precaution will keep its tales from haunting you even into the noonday sun…

THE DISPOSSESSED by James Glass – Kindle Countdown Deal

PRAISE FOR The Metatron Mysteries and James Glass

“A perfect blend of film noir mystery and supernatural politics.”

“He did it again. Twist and tension. Glass builds each chapter with tiny layers of conflict, adding jigsaw hints to the mystery, spice to the sensual (oh yeah he do), and driving the whole thing toward a solid reveal that closes this case, opens the next, and leaves just enough intrigue to demand the third book.”

“When I read James Glass’ first tale of the The Murdered Metatron, I was over the top happy with the great read. But The Dispossessed is even better. The same horror, humor and detective work in the first one is back but the author has taken his skills at the craft to an even higher level.”

“James Glass is one of the best new authors of the Millennium.”

“James Glass exhibits a beautiful command of language to draw a full and vibrant picture.”

BOOK 2 SALE BEGINS TODAY!

THE DISPOSSESSED by James Glass
Playing host to the voice of God can be a strain, and as John Smith is discovering, the source of many hangovers. Add to that a missing demon, and it’s one hell of a week.

DREAMING OF ARTAUD – Ulcer Magazine

 DREAMING OF ARTAUD by Suzi M – Ulcer Magazine

“I used to be a story-teller,” he says bitterly, almost as if he has read my thoughts of him.

We continue walking, the ocean’s roar made more deafening by the darkness of the night. The salt spray clings to me, and I can feel its sting in my lungs. I wonder about this old man on the beach, the tight-lipped edges of his mouth stained by laudanum, and his face made haggard by life instead of by nature.

“I was famous in my time,” he explains to me. “They called me Artaud, giving me a god’s status until I told the story they didn’t want to hear.” READ MORE

“Patrick C. Greene is a masterful story-teller.”

“PCG is from the twilight zone, and I am just lucky to be along for the ride!”

“He kind of reminds me of a young Clive Barker.”

Exciting news today! One of my publishers, Sekhmet Press, decided to make four of my books free on Sunday and Monday, April 13 & 14 on Amazon. Don’t miss this chance to pick up some highly-rated horror, and please take the time to leave a review. Not only does it help with those insane Amazon algorithms, but I really want to know what you think. Thanks for taking the time! Hope you enjoy the terrifying ride.
