THE GRAY MAN REVIEWED ON DIABOLIQUE

Check out this amazing review of my new novella, The Gray Man, by Miranda Chorcrain over at Diabolique Magazine! Totally blown away. Add this to great reviews from Becky Narron (Deadman's Tome Publishing) and Sam Richards (Weird Punk Books). Sales aren't great, but I've got to believe that the book is going to find it's audience, I'm really proud of it.  Click HERE to check out this thoughtful and in depth review!

It's alive! ALIVE! Kids of the Black Hole; A Punksploitation Anthology is live! Featuring Paul Lubaczewski (I Never Eat...Cheesesteak), Jeremy Lowe (Daily Grindhouse, The Modern Rippers), Chris Hallock (Diabolique, Boston Underground Film Fest), Sarah Miner, and myself (Neon Sabbath, Motel On Fire, etc). With another gorgeous cover by Stephanie Murr!
There was just something special about channel surfing and coming across Class of 1984 or Repo Man on cable. How many times have you rented Suburbia and Return of the Living Dead? Do you have The Green Room and The Ranger on Blu-ray? For some of us, Punksploitation holds a special place in our hearts. Especially for those of us who came from the sticks or small towns where there was no punk scene and our only connection was the music and the movies. St Rooster Books is proud to present five tales inspired by Punksploitation; “Urchins” by Chris Hallock, “Black Thunder” by Sarah Miner, “I Love Livin’ in the City” by Paul Lubaczewski, “Skate or Die” by Jeremy Lowe, and “What We Do is Secret” by Tim Murr. The stories run the gamut from B-movie sci-fi, to weird, to funny, to splatter, to straight horror. All are written from a place of love for punk rock and the movies it inspired.

I NEVER EAT...CHEESESTEAK by PAUL LUBACZEWSKI available for PRE-ORDER

Paul Lubaczewski will be appearing in our upcoming anthology, Kids of the Black Hole; A Punksploitation Anthology (available July 3rd), but before that, his debut novel, I Never Eat...Cheesesteak (50/50 Press LLC), is out June 10th and you can pre-order right NOW.
 

They say life is what happens when you're making other plans. It is also what happens when you need cash to record a demo, but that isn't as catchy in a song, or a meme. Al was coasting through life without a plan or a clue when he was offered a way to make quick cash without doing anything illegal, mainly because killing vampires is not technically against any laws. If he agrees he jump starts his musical career, but on the downside he has to combat the forces of undead evil, including their horrific fashion sense. Will Al survive? Will his punk rocker sister Angie finally dump her loser boyfriend? Will Al's girlfriend come to her senses and dump him? Will Al's gruff partner Abdiel become "woke"? (depends on your definition) Will the citizens of Philadelphia discover the dark festering evil that lurks in their very city?(other than Eagles fans) Will anyone eat an actual cheesesteak? The only way to find out is to read this book, because there will probably never be a Cliff Notes for this one!

I Never Eat...Cheesesteak sounds fun as hell and Paul's tale "I Love Livin' in the City," his contribution to Kids of the Black Hole, certainly is! Follow Paul on TWITTER to stay up to date on all his latest work.

THE GRAY MAN IS OUT NOW

What do you do when your family becomes your prison? Tim Murr, the author of Neon Sabbath, Motel on Fire, and City Long Suffering, takes you to a small town in East Tennessee, where a young family move into a home where a predatory spirit lies in wait with generations of tragic secrets pulsating just under the surface. THE GRAY MAN is Murr's most personal work to date and also his most horrifying.

My new novella, The Gray Man, is now live on both e and paperback formats, fiends! Featuring a gorgeous cover by Stephanie Murr, who also did the covers for Motel on Fire, Neon Sabbath, Conspiracy of Birds, and To Be One With You.

Becky Narron from Deadman's Tome Publishing said The Gray Man is "a wild, tense ride you won't forget...brilliantly written..."

"This house has a history. Houses with a history tend to have a lot to say."

Synopsis; In their early 20s, with three kids under five, the Martins are on the move a lot, because of the father's job. The mother is beginning to feel her family is a prison. The oldest boy is feeling increasingly lonely and isolated. The young family, already nearing a breaking point, moves into an old rental home, where a malevolent spirit will test the tenuous bond of their marriage and the relationship between parent and child.

"A wild tense ride you won’t forget. Old yellow eyes is the stuff true nightmares are made from. Brilliantly written with a cast of characters you feel like are part of your family. Totally engrossing."

In his latest collection of short stories, Tim Murr brings back the feeling of raiding your local video store’s horror section. Capturing the fantastical, the sleaze, and the gore, while raising his middle finger to the very notion of “elevated horror,” but still delivering a highly literate, fast paced read.
