Surviving The Dead

Now a highly acclaimed and successful movie THE DEAD, this blow-by-blow account of it’s making by award-winning film director Howard J Ford takes you on a harrowing but often hilarious journey from suburban England across Africa as the cast and crew face more horror than any fictional script could possibly contain, including near death from Malaria, knifepoint muggings, police corruption, tornado’s, real-life cannibals and sacrificial killings!

BITCH CALIBER 45

book_tc45-big_en

…The boy turns towards me. Boom. The bullet blows his brain into pieces. The blood splatters on the ceiling. His body falls on the floor. The whore screams in terror. She hugs her legs and tries to get up to escape, but the sight of the black bloodstain on the train carpet blocks her. The other two escape. One of the guys opens the door communicating with the other wagon and slips through it. The other guy is right behind him. He grabs the yellow handle of the sliding door. I raise my bitch and I blow up the left side of his neck. His carotid artery is now fucked…

A splatter noir/pulp book by FP Curti.

Bram Stoker Awards Announce Graphic Novel Nominees

hwa-logo450

The Horror Writers Association’s annual awards nominees have just been announced. It’s always intriguing to see how the past year in comics is reflected, and just how broadly the term “horror” can be applied.  Even the most generous of reader, though, will struggle to rationalise Wolverine’s inclusion.

The Hilarious X Factor Zombie Massacre Out NOW!

X Factor Zombie Massacre

You don’t have to be alive to be famous.

And even the un-dead can be stars – for one terrifying night.

Barry Arctic always wanted to be a famous. He knew he’d be good at it. It was just the talent he had a problem with – but that hadn’t stopped plenty of others succeeding.

After repeated auditions for the X Factor, Barry finally gets the break he feels he’s always deserved.

He’s on the path to stardom.

Except that his next show happens to coincide with a Zombie attack.

But Barry won’t let that stop him. Nothing – not even death itself – will stand between him and his dream.

In this hyper-gruesome, sick and twisted but enormously fun short read, Stewart King tells the story of what happens when a celebrity wannabe gets the immortality he craves as well as an insatiable taste for human flesh.

A blackly humorous and gore-soaked novella that doesn’t pull any punches but rams its message about the fame phenomenon through the ribcage of the reader, this the first of a series of quick-fix, satisfyingly meaty bites of extreme horror fiction from Stewart King that will more than satiate fans of the genre. You have been warned.

Available to buy now on iTunes and Amazon at:

“Very funny, very slick, very gory, and hugely entertaining” – Matt Lynn, author of the Death Force thrillers.
