Beauty & Dynamite by Alethea Kontis {Apex Publications}
Once upon a time, a young girl walked into a world of wonder and delight. But that's not where this story starts.
The young woman she became published a nationally recognized children's book and edited a star-filled collection of stories to benefit the tsunami relief effort. But that's not where this story ends.
Meet Alethea Kontis, a self-proclaimed Genre Chick whose life is an adventure that tears through these pages like a hurricane. Carrot-a-day cancer cures and Murphy as a guardian angel (yes, that Murphy, the guy with all those irritating laws) are just a part of the daily routine for the Incredible Whirlwind of Beauty and Dynamite, the force of nature masquerading in human form.
Through essays, poetry, and commentary from family, friends, and famous authors alike, a world of Blood Oaths and road trips, broken hearts and mended cars, comes alive with the strength of one woman's conviction that the world is there to be befriended.
You have now been introduced. Let your adventure begin.

Celeraine by David McGillveray {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Celeraine, published in trade paperback format by Sam's Dot Publishing, consists of three interplanetary science fiction stories by British author David McGillveray. Each story presents a specific problem that humanity might expect to encounter as it moves among the stars one day.
In "The Grieving," the Kellie colony has failed and the Whaskera are dead. Lammas must find out why, and why the woman he loved has been lost in space and time.
In "Celeraine," people get the governments they deserve, but the Somnambulist, a repository of Earth history, can give the Azou Home so much more. But if they don't want it, will Earth force it on them?
In "Ryme's Garden," an alien life form takes over the vegetation, and the birds have not returned. It's time to get out the half-track lawndogs. But is Ryme ready for the changes?
CELERAINE is an E-ride into three interplanetary worlds you won't forget.

The Complete Accursed Wives by Bruce Boston {Bruce Boston}
Trade paper, illustrated by Allen Koszowski, Talisman/Dark Regions,
2000, 100 pages, ISBN 1-888993-19-7
Five short stories and thirty-five poems, all of Boston’s Accursed Wives series. Includes the story “Curse of the Alien’s Wife,” winner of the Best of Soft SF Award, and two Asimov’s Readers’ Award winners for poetry.
“In an uncomplicated yet artful manner, Boston renders present-day marital travails anew through SF tropes....carefully cataloguing the extensive list of relationship crimes we are prone to commit against one another, making this a must-read for those of us endlessly intrigued by the male-female dynamic.” --Trent Walters, SFSite
Read the complete review. (http://www.sfsite.com/10b/caw114.htm)
“Boston has the gift of making his poetry appealing to people who generally aren't fond of poetry...They have a distinctive music that is quite ravishing...He creates cadences more subtle than Poe's by using syllabic and blank verse with startlingly varied iambic pentameter. He creates his own stanza forms. He also manipulates rhyme in sly and original ways. Instead of creating predictable, boring end-rhyme patterns, he uses advanced techniques: slant, internal, and vowel rhyme...The poems read like colloquial speech, but are nimbly crafted to croon subliminal music.”--Mary Turzillo, Sci-Fi.com

Dark Corners of the Mind by D.W. Jones {Blood Moon Rising Productions}
We all have things we don't tell anyone. Dark fantasies, dreams, and even nightmares that we are afraid to let into the light for fear of coming alive or true.
These things we keep buried in the deepest part of our being, not looking at them, even ignoring them like the dust bunnies under the bed or even behind the corner dresser.
These are the Dark Corners of the Mind.
From D.W. Jones, book reviewer for Blood Moon Rising Horror Magazine, comes this vision of horror in the form of six tales of terror. After years of reviewing books, now it's his turn to bring on the nightmare.

Dark Entities by David Dunwoody {Dark Regions Press}
Hidden in the dark corners of our reality are the passages to spaces beyond. Is it there that unfortunate souls come face to face with the horrors that move silently about us in everyday life. Take a breath, take a chance, and turn the page...
David Dunwoody, the author of EMPIRE, presents strange and chilling tales in which there is no escape to be found - only confrontation with the dark entities of the author's imagination. Giant ghouls in a graveyard, rebellious demons chained eternally in Hell, ravenous shape-shifters on a lost island, and the specter of Death himself are awaiting you within the confines of this book to collect your soul. Join us. Take a chance, but will you survive?!
Lavishly illustrated by Tom Moran. This is the very first book in the New Voices of Horror series. The Deluxe edition will include two new stories which will not appear in the other editions, and one additional illustration by Tom Moran. This is sure to be a collector's item!
"Within the pages of Dark Entities you'll find a mix of artistic sensibility, extreme characters and gruesome horror - crafted with both skill and apitutude. The sentance structure is lean; the vivid imagery portrayed is not unlike the darkest work from Hieronymus Bosch. Look out world, David Dunwoody has arrived." -- James Roy Daley, author of The Dead Parade
"Has the ability to resonate in your mind...a frightening experience." --Dr. Pus, "Library of The Living Dead" podcast

Darker Loves by James Dorr {Dark Regions Press}
Praise For James Dorr's Fiction & Poetry...
"James Dorr's work is for those who want to be whisked away from their day to day reality and taken to other places and eras... There's not an ordinary tale to be found. This is Dark Fantasy in the fullest sense of the term, not as a euphemism for horror." --Garret Peck, Cemetery Dance
"Contemporary spook yarns, historical fantasies of many lands and eras, oriental fables -- all these and more benefit from Dorr's skilled touch... Additionally, in a selection of poems, he reveals himself to be a fine versifier as well." --Paul Di Fillipo, Asimov's SF
"Pulp Fantasy, supernatural horror, magical realism, folklore retold and revitalized -- these are just some of the elements Dorr draws upon to create worlds and characters at once recognizable and strange. A hybrid of fantasy and storytelling, these 14 stories and 13 poems (reprints and originals) are equal parts of nightmare and dream unified by a persistent sense of awe... Dorr's fictions nod to literary traditions without playing slave to them, resulting in what I can only describe as modern myths universal in theme while intimate in approach." --William P. Simmons, Hellnotes

Ecotastrophe edited by J Alan Erwine {Sam's Dot Publishing}
ECOTASTROPHE is a collection of short stories and poetry that examines futures we could face if we continue to damage Earth’s ecology.
The oceans are dying and only desperate measures could save them in Jan Mortimer’s The Empty Ocean. Michelle Mellon’s Undiscovered Horizons questions whether we can truly find the answers out among the stars, or can we only hope to change the future by changing the past as Rebecca S.W. Bates postulates in Walking the River. Also featuring the works of JE Gurley, Bruce Boston, E. Catherine Tobler, Kristine Ong Muslim, and Adam Banks, among others, ECOTASTROPHE is a grim but illuminating view of several possible ecological futures for humanity.

Ennui: And Other States of Madness by David Niall Wilson{Dark Regions Press}
Ennui's touchstones with the past are sometimes overt--like the historical timeframes of the opening title story and its anchoring closer, "The Preacher's Marsh," as well as the other stops between--but more often it's as if the past has given the present a deep, lingering soul kiss. You don't have to get any farther than the title of "New Leather & Old Cognac" to gain a sense of musty old books and antiquarian gems, while the DNA of H.P. Lovecraft finds its way into "From My Reflection, Darkly," as well as "Darkness and the Light" and it's yearning cousin "The call of Farther Shores." And just try reading "When Words Collide" without thinking of Rod Serling giving it his tight-lipped smile of approval.

Welcome to the Shop Called Imagination. Come on in. Take your time. Browse for a while.
There are lots of fantasies here. Fourteen in all. Any of a number are bound to please. We have horror, "The Finder-Keeper," which may just answer the age-old question of where lost things--socks, earrings, children--go when they disappear. We have humor, "The Xeroxorcist," about a copy machine possessed the devil and the repairman hired to perform the xeroxorcism.
Come. Have a look You're sure to find something pleasing. Something dark perhaps? Like the "Straw Goat," a little nature spirit made of twisted straw and malevolence. Or "Barelli's Demon," one man's hate and prejudice made flesh. Or "The Snowman," a murderous thing filled with dark vengeance. Maybe you'd prefer something to delight? "Grandma Babka..." with her good luck gingerbread houses. "Archie..." and his lures for nature spirits in Arcady, where lovemaking is a sport. "My Mother's Purse" with its contents of adult secrets to be kept from a child's eyes. Romance? Try "Brother Senechelle." Something unique? "Seasons of Ice, Fields of Winter." Something unexpected? "Moses." And for the conoisseur, you who have seen and read them all: "Brother Estevan" who will take you on a trip through a world in a painting so strange it has mystified critics and historians for hundreds of years.
So come on in. Take a break from life and its stresses. Escape reality for a time. The Shop Called Imagination will always be open to you; just a few page turns away.

The Garden of Ghosts by Scott Thomas {Dark Regions Press}
The Garden of Ghosts is a gathering of original Victorian ghost stories by Scott Thomas. Whether set in rural England or a summery New England village, or in snowy London or a haunted house in Boston, each ghostly tale harkens in some way to the mysterious realm of vegetation.
"Scott Thomas' stories have a delicate muscularity and a poignancy that lingers long after reading them. The Garden of Ghosts is a rare and beautiful collection. The tales within deserve to be doled out in increments and savored as one would a good cigar paired with a 20-year-old whiskey." -- Jeff VanderMeer, author of Shriek: An Afterward
"Thomas rises from the eerie evolution of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, F. Marion Crawford and H.P. Lovecraft." -- Jonathan Sisson, The Quoddy Tides
