Maera the Minoan by Marsheila Rockwell (chapbook) {Sam's Dot Publishing}
This first release in a series of Lesser Known Myths takes the interestingly-clad heroine on an epic journey from Cnossos, the capital of the Minoan Civilization, through some perils you might know, and others you've never heard of until now, all the way to the Land of Beyond, as Maera struggles to save her people, outwit the gods, and have a rollicking good time to boot. The illustrations by Teri Santitoro and award-winning Janis Marshall make this an attraction you won't want to miss.

Masque of Dreams by Bruce Boston {Bruce Boston}
Oversized hardcover, Wildside Press, 2001, 258 pages, ISBN 1-58715-273-8
A best-of fiction collection -- six novelettes, seventeen short stories -- covering more than twenty-five years of publishing, along with fifteen of Boston’s best poems from the 1990s.
“...collects nearly two dozen brilliant stories, ranging across all emotional and
narrative terrains.” --Paul Di Filippo, The Washington Post
"It is rare to find a writer capable of writing both prose and poetry with equal skill, and in the SF/F/H genres there is no greater practitioner of that combination than Bruce Boston....The stories have in common Boston's well-trained poet's eye for detail, his beautifully crafted language, and his unfailing compassion for his characters...sure to leave readers dazzled by the depth and range of his talents."" --Tim Pratt, Locus

Meat Puppet Cabaret by Steve Beard {Raw Dog Screaming Press}
Meat Puppet Cabaret is a dark fantasy novel that restores the perverse sex, bad drugs and violent rock 'n' roll to contemporary folklore. It starts from a weird idea: what if Jack the Ripper were a demon summoned by the black magician John Dee to steal Princess Diana's baby Allegra from the scene of the car crash in Paris? What if Allegra were hidden in a children's home in East London, but then 14 years later escaped?
The novel follows Allegra's adventures as she quests to discover her true identity in a nightmare alternate England. She encounters King Charles in orbital exile, Stalinist bioplasma engineer Natasha Supanova, the conspiratorial Osiris Club, drug alchemist Eddie Boy Krishna, ex-DJ and reality TV showman Mark 23 and gangland queens the Karma Twins along the way before finally confronting John Dee in his hideout beneath Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath.
This is a novel that takes the legacy of H. P. Lovecraft and updates it for a mediamatic technopagan world.

On the Other Side of the Eye by Bryan Thao Worra {Sam's Dot Publishing}
This is a collection of speculative poetry. Here's a glimpse of it, taken from the review by Edward Cox: ". . . the jewel of part II is 'Five Fragments,' which also forms the collection’s longest poem. Set at a war exhibition, this piece suggests that our reason for solving problems is so we can create room to make the same mistakes again. History is selective in the minds of humans, and like fads, we chose to scrutinise single instances when history is an ocean filled with identical droplets. Teaching and schooling amount to nothing when the execution of war becomes as fast and fleeting as the next computer upgrade. The world has become almost question-less, lost within its own apathy, and Worra makes us wonder where we go from here."

Ossuary, a poetry collection by JoSelle Vanderhooft, based on art by Erzebet YellowBoy {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Ossuary is a poetic tribute to the bone panels, bone scrolls and other art of artist, writer and publisher Erzebet YellowBoy. The twenty-four poems in the collection center upon the themes of decay and transformation in much the same way YellowBoy's work does. Some draw upon world myth and fairy tale, from the dismembering of Osiris in "Osiris, Seed-Scattered" to the schemes of the Greek Fates in "The Moriae's Tools" to numerous permutations of "Sleeping Beauty," YellowBoy's favorite fairy tale which follow the heroine's descent through dreams and her numerous transformations in body, mind and soul.
Additionally Ossuary seeks to explore the natural world from which the artist draws inspiration – the season's cycles, nature's mystery and, of course, the inevitability of death and the transforming process of decay. In Ossuary, the reader will find such things as the wizened beauty of an old woman tending her garden, descents through the grave's loamy underworld, and the phoenix-like bursting of a bush into flame.

Passion Fruit and other Loops by L. A. Story Houry {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Fantasy poetry that runs the gamut of emotions, from a candlelit dinner at the edge of the universe to a declaration of emotional independence. Story Houry plays pinball with passions and sometimes hits "tilt," but she always strikes a chord of longing...and of hope. Delicately illustrated by Marcia Borell, Michael Connolly, and Courtenay Pogue.

Phasing by 7ARS {Sam's Dot Publishing}
PHASING is an odyssey of art that takes you from the very beginning, and Santitoro's initial efforts with horses and angst, to the superb illustrations she does today that capture emotion, mood, and atmosphere like no other contemporary illustrator. You'll see the ragged street girl of "Help Wanted" become the immigrant waif in the holds of the ship for "Steerage," a poem in Karen Romanko's Stoker-recommended chapbook, Raven's Runes. And you'll see how Santitoro's minimalist poetry skills carry over into her art. With just a glimpse of legs and ankles, with just a pair of bound wrists, she conveys a vibrant sensuality in freeze-frame moments of sizzling emotions, as in "Allusions" and "Bigfoot's Love Slave." And she takes on various taboos in "Date With A Droid" and "Young Love."
Includes 8 color interior illustrations

The Poet by James B. Baker (novel) {Nomadic Delirium Press}
Max checked out of reality fifty years ago. When he comes back, he finds himself to be a bum dressed like a priets. He also finds himself to be the only potent man in an otherwise impotent America.
Max eventually reaches the west coast where he finds himself the host of an hour long TV show watched by billions. His adoring fans begin to call him The Poet, and they see him as the savior of the world.
Joined by his triplet lovers, Max sets out to change the world; a world that is more than a little resistant to his efforts. Smothered by his adoring fans and dogged by men intent on killing him, Max's multiple personalities fight their own battle in his mind, and no one is ever sure who will win.

Poetry Red-Shifted In The Eyes Of A Dragon by Kendall Evans {Spec House of Poetry}
Illustrations by Cathy Buburuz
Introduction by Deborah P. Kolodji
The debut chapbook from Kendall Evans, winner of the 2006 Rhysling Award
for Long Form Poetry (with David C. Kopaska-Merkel). Four new poems,
along with poems previously published in the genre's top publications.
First Regular Edition Pressing, 100 Copies.
Reviews:
"Kendall Evans is one of speculative poetry's most audacious experimenters."
--Mike Allen, Editor of Mythic Delerium
Evans speaks the language of the fantastic, from astral imagery to myth,
and beyond. From the subtle “Binary” (‘entangle your spirits flesh with
mine/ in spider-veined nebulae/ of deepest space and time’), to the
resounding “Beatrice, Cockatrice”, (‘Beatrice, your cold eyes stone
me’), Evans makes his poems sing. Long or short, he crafts each poem
skillfully, often with a touch of magic. Superbly recommended.
--Marge Simon, Author of Like Birds in the Rain

The Puppets of Low Magic by Lorraine Pinelli Brown {Sam's Dot Publishing}
The late 17th/early 18th centuries marked a time of awakening, with the birth of institutions of higher learning, yet the most enlightened of that time spent their cognitive brilliance debating how many angels could fit upon the head of a pin. Satan was ubiquitous, and he was known to have appeared in many forms. He was thought forever present on the earth, a wolf amongst God's holy sheep; watching, waiting for his chance to corrupt the faithful. Temptation loomed— witchcraft was actually practiced— and good men prayed hard for deliverance from Beelzebub and his foul minions.
Rachel Mapes is a Puritan woman who, upon accident of birth, receives an IQ of 160. She has a level of understanding that would take others years of book-learning to achieve. She is able to make connections where it would seem no connection was possible. She possesses strong powers of intuition. And she has to hide her special abilities . . . or be burned at the stake.
But what if she really is a witch . . . ?

The Ruined City by David Kopaska-Merkel {Dreams and Nightmares}

David C. Kopaska-Merkel, was published in 2003. The chapbook contains 10
brooding poems (two not available elsewhere) and a cover illustration by
GAK. Most of the poems in this book are about relationships, ranging from
"burnt offering," a steamy examination of the underbelly of romance
between immortals, to "this morning," a morbid love poem, to "I don't know
what you're having," about a werewolf in a dysfunctional relationship. If
you are contemplating a relationship with a supernatural being, this book
can help.
