There’s something out there in the dark. There’s always something watching. There’s always something reaching for you. Always. And sometimes there’s someone you can call. Someone you can hire. Someone who knows these dark streets and back alleys. Someone who knows how things work in this part of town. Private eyes who are often as dark as the things they hunt. Investigators who know how to look in the shadows for the things that go bump. Good guys but not always nice guys. Hardboiled Horror collects fifteen original tales of noir mystery shot through with elements of horror and the supernatural. Occult detectives, paranormal investigators, seedy P.I.s, amateur sleuths and ghost hunters tackle the cases no one else can handle. The killer lineup includes Heather Graham, Kevin J. Anderson, Rachel Caine, Scott Sigler, Seanan McGuire Alethea Kontis, Jonathan Maberry, Chris Ryall, Dana Fredsti, Jim Beard, Jacopo della Quercia, John Gilstrap, Jon McGoran, Josh Malerman, Max Allan Collins & Matthew V. Clemens, Lois H. Gresh and Nancy Holder. Edited by New York Times bestseller and five-time Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry.

Life ain't easy for a regular guy in this town. Just ask Vic Brahm, workaday investigator in a city of monsters. Vic's new client? A three-thousand-year-old Egyptian who suspects his wife is messing around with a manwolf. Vic's neighbor? A beautiful dame being stalked by some "thing" with claws. Vic's partner Shelley? Murdered, with no suspects or leads. And the vampire syndicate? Breathing down Vic's neck because who knows why. Zombies. Voodoo priests. Inbred cannibal hillbillies from The Village. It's all in a night's work for Vic Brahm, P.I. "Welcome To San Monstruo...Where Raymond Chandler meets Boris Karloff." "KIRKUS REVIEWS" www.kirkusreviews.com A jaded private detective in a monster-stricken city gets more than he bargained for when his client dies under suspicious circumstances. From vampires to poltergeists to voodoo priests and zombies, the residents of San Monstruo-"THE CITY OF MONSTERS AND NIGHTMARES," a highway sign reads-are anything but regular, and the regular people, or "regulars," who live there are a strange bunch, too. Seemingly everyone is chased by their own versions of something worse than monsters and nightmares. Most of the monsters, however, are-despite their monstrous appearances, unconventional lifestyles and unsavory dietary preferences-actually not so scary; they're just trying to make a living and even be upstanding citizens like anyone else. The city even puts the zombies (protective mouth guards securely fastened) to work as street sweepers. Like any city, San Monstruo has its share of criminals and lowlifes, though the underbelly feels a bit more threatening than most, thanks to the fangs, claws and all sorts of magic. As a former police detective, Vic Brahm used to make it his business to protect the city from an unusually grotesque brand of criminals, but after leaving the force, his only business now is with anyone willing to pay him for his PI work. When Mr. Chatha, a 4,000-year-old Egyptian, contracts Vic to investigate his wife Diane's suspected infidelity, it seems like a pretty open-and-shut case-until Diane, after finding Vic's card in Mr. Chatha's desk, shows up at Vic's office asking for his help investigating her husband's alleged suicide. Meanwhile, Vic's old partner from the force, a sasquatch named Jerry, is stuck trying to find the Riding Hood killer; he'd sure like Vic to help him out. In spite of being a fairly standard, sometimes-predictable detective novel in its character types and storylines, Cowlin's debut still stands out as a worthwhile read. The well-built, horror-inspired world of San Monstruo offers just the right balance of humor and creepiness to keep readers on the edges of their seats without being quite terrified. The novel shines the most brightly, however, as the author explores what it means to be a monster. There's one in everyone. A fun read for PI aficionados and kitschy horror fans alike.

Praise for Virgin Blood: "Janie is one of the best fictional characters I've come across in a long time -- beaten but not broken, earthy yet innocent, a thoroughly modern saint. . . . at the end of the book, I almost broke into tears. And you have the stylistic sophistication to be able to blend gritty realism and outright magic and pull it off. In short, VIRGIN BLOOD is a marvelous book." -- Dave King, Dave King Editorial Services www.davekingedits.com "The characters are well developed and the plot is strong, drawing the reader forward." "It is a good satisfying read that doesn't pull its punches." "I can't put this book down. I love reading thrillers and this book is already becoming one of my favorites . . ." "Richard Stooker's writing is superb. He was able to upset and disturb me. He made me CARE." "The suspense keeps you reading as the story takes new twist and turns many you may not expect." "Virgin Blood has everything I want in a great horror suspense thriller - compelling characters, great storytelling and a satisfying conclusion." "Stop it, Dewie," Marilyn said. "You can't treat people like this." Dewie shoved Mrs. King Kong to the side and pushed his face right up to Marilyn's. "Let's get one thing straight right now. I. Can. Do. Whatever. The. Hell. I. Want." He lightly slapped her upside her head, knocking her against the wall, sending several more pictures falling to the floor. She tried to stand up straight, but winced and remained stooped forward. "I promised you'd be first, and I aim to keep my promises. Hell, I'm near about ready for you. I ain't had no pussy since I raped Janie last night." "I knew it was you," Marilyn said. If do like imaginative elements intermixed with nitty gritty reality . . . if you like Stephen King . . . if you like Dean R. Koontz . . . you'll enjoy VIRGIN BLOOD. To the late-night ER staff struggling to save her life, Janie Braxton was just one more big city crime victim. But to the spirit of an ancient Native American chief who once reigned supreme over the middle of pre-Columbian North America, she's an incomplete sacrifice holding the key to regaining his long-lost power. Pursued by Janie's assailant Dewie and his gang, her two small daughters trek through the mean streets of St Louis . . . So try out Virgin Blood now.

A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following. Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.
