Inkshares A God in the Shed
Book Synopsis-Barnes & Noble Best Horror Books of 2017 Pick -Runner-up for the American Library Association's Horror Book of 2017 "One of the most enthralling novels I've read in the last ten years. Dubeau is a force to be reckoned with." —Jerry Smith, Fangoria Magazine and Blumhouse.com "This is the page-turner you’ve been looking for." —Barnes & Noble The village of Saint-Ferdinand has all the trappings of a quiet life: farmhouses stretching from one main street, a small police precinct, a few diners and cafés, and a grocery store. Though if an out-of-towner stopped in, they would notice one unusual thing—a cemetery far too large and much too full for such a small town, lined with the victims of the Saint-Ferdinand Killer, who has eluded police for nearly two decades. It’s not until after Inspector Stephen Crowley finally catches the killer that the town discovers even darker forces are at play. When a dark spirit reveals itself to Venus McKenzie, one of Saint-Ferdinand's teenage residents, she learns that this creature's power has a long history with her town—and that the serial murders merely scratch the surface of a past burdened by evil secrets.Trade Review"Dubeau's ability to build a sense of mystery and suspense is equal to that of authors at the top of the horror food chain...When it comes to literary darkness, it doesn’t get much darker than A God in the Shed, and it doesn’t get much better, either. Wow, just f***ing wow...If you add only one new author to your lexicon this year, J-F Dubeau is the one I’d recommend." —Shane D. Keene, Horror Talk "Complex characters, haunting imagery, and a touch of fantasy. This is the page-turner you've been looking for!" —Barnes & Noble "If you're looking for some summer reading that is both unsettlingly gory and a fascinating supernatural mystery, you need to pick up A God in the Shed. Dubeau showcases his great imagination...this something readers need to experience for themselves." —Wicked Horror "Move over True Detective. A rich, gothic story of murder and mystery, A God in The Shed is quite possibly one of the most enthralling novels I've read in the last ten years. Dubeau is a force to be reckoned with." —Jerry Smith, Fangoria Magazine and Blumhouse.com "A God in the Shed is a masterful work of mystery, a suspenseful cornucopia of carnage and terror." —Ken Artuz, Founder and Editor of DecayMag "An utterly terrifying atmospheric thriller, with A God in the Shed author, J.F. Dubeau rightfully creates a worthy space for himself next to the likes of Stephen King, Dan Simmons, Richard Laymon and others." —Farid-ul-Haq, TheGeekiary.com "It's Stephen King's It meets Jeepers Creepers...I’d definitely recommend A God in the Shed by J-F. Dubeau to readers of dark fantasy and of course horror. It’s a great mix of fresh and established concepts and could signal the arrival of a new bold voice in the world of fiction that makes you so scared you could pee you pants." —Charlie Hopkins, Fantasy Faction "This novel puts a wily, sometimes ghastly, twist on the 'small-town conspiracy' genre, and what a secret this little village keeps, perhaps protecting humanity from the ultimate unspeakable evil." —VOYA Magazine "I rarely get creeped out by books, but there were scenes inside this that made my skin itch. A highly original novel and one I will remember for a long time." —Grim Reader Reviews

Imbrifex Books Travelers: A Freaks Novel
Book SynopsisFalling in love. Evading the authorities. Chasing the rabbits. Now high school sophomores, the self-styled “Freaks” are back in class in quiet Quapaw City, Arkansas. They grapple with the ordinary challenges of everyday teen life: cliques, cars, and crushes. While everything appears normal on the surface, looks have rarely been more deceiving. A secret government task force—fully aware of the unusual powers the Freaks have acquired—is determined to capture them. Even as the mysterious Baltar Sterne shares ancient wisdom and offers hope, a new menace silently emerges in the woods outside of town. Clever, inexorable, and far more lethal than the Freaks’ first superhuman foe, this traveler from another world possesses powers that can only be described as godlike. The Freaks and their town will be tested in horrific ways they are powerless to predict or even imagine.Trade Review“Riley weaves explorations of anger issues and budding romance as well as forthrightly confronted themes of racial, religious, and class conflict.”—Kirkus Book Review"Travelers is interesting, thought provoking, and adds an unexpected emotional layer as the Freaks continue their journey to adulthood.”—Don Sauer, PopCultureGuy.com“Riley possesses a rare, writerly ability to remain in the moment once the action heats up. In this installment, the Freaks face their most dangerous enemy yet, and the menace fairly leaps off the page.”—PaulEberly.com"The book is riveting. Compelling and totally different. I read it one sitting and was seriously bummed it had to end. His writing is remarkable and had me wanting more. I devoured Travelers and his ones before this."—Rubie Clark, @RubieReads“Brett Riley has done it again, as he continues his story of teenage supers battling monsters – fantasy beasts and Government agents alike. An enthralling, fast paced, fantasy horror.”—Peter Thorburn, UK educator“A great spin on the superhero story, told with genuine depth.”—Mark Waid, best-selling author of History of the Marvel Universe, Doctor Strange, and Superman Birthright.“A fun and fresh twist on the superhero story!”—Jennifer Brody/Vera Strange, author of The 13th Continuum Trilogy, Spectre Deep 6, and the Disney Chills series.

Skyhorse Publishing The Transgressionists and Other Disquieting
Book Synopsis"A disturbing, unsettling novel . . . if it had been published in English soon after its first appearance in Italian (1968), the name of Giorgio De Maria would be well-known, his novels and stories mentioned in the context of J.G. Ballard, Anna Kavan, Shirley Jackson or Robert Aickman."—Lisa Tuttle, Nebula Award winner and author of Gabriel, Windhaven, and The Curious Affair of the Witch at Wayside Cross.Before an untimely mental breakdown cut short his two-decade career, Giorgio De Maria distinguished himself as one of Italy's most unique and eccentric weird fiction masters. With a background in the post-war literary culture of Turin -- Italy's urbane but eerie "city of black magic" -- De Maria drew inspiration from the Turinese underbelly of occultism, secret societies and radical politics. His writing coincided with the decade of terrorist violence known to Italians as the Years of Lead; the outcome was a weird fiction suffused with panic, rage, trauma, paranoia and meditations on antisocial hubris. In 1978, he told an interviewer: "...I think that the dimension of the fantastic, as much as this may seem paradoxical, is the most fitting one to express a reality as complex as ours today." De Maria's debut novel, The Transgressionists (1968) portrays a cell of malicious telepaths who meet in the cafés and jazz clubs of 1960s Turin to plot world domination. After experiencing the worst of their power, an embittered office clerk resolves to join them and prove himself worthy to share in their villainy. He cultivates twisted mindfulness techniques to awaken his inner sociopath. He fights off predatory phantoms that seem maddeningly drawn to him. He prepares for the dangerous "Great Leap" which will make him into a fully-fledged Transgressionist. But could his megalomania strain relations with his fiancee? Will he sacrifice love in his quest for omnipotence?The other works in this volume are no less surreal and startling. The Secret Death of Joseph Dzhugashvili (1976) gives us a nightmarish fantasy Soviet Union, where a dissident poet finds himself trapped in a psychological experiment conducted by Stalin himself. In "The End of Everydayism," a group of futuristic artists begin using corpses as a medium -- with violent, unforeseen results. The antihero of "General Trebisonda" is a possibly insane commander who prepares for a war crime in an eerily deserted fortress. Available in English for the first time, this collection contains two novellas, two short stories and a dystopian teleplay, The Appeal, which the post-cyberpunk novelist Andrea Vaccaro has lauded as "worthy of the best episodes of Black Mirror." Meanwhile, an introduction by translator Ramon Glazov offers a detailed account of De Maria's background, creative context and thoroughly unusual life.Trade ReviewPraise for The Transgressionists and Other Disquieting Works "A disturbing, unsettling novel . . . if it had been published in English soon after its first appearance in Italian (1968), the name of Giorgio De Maria would be well-known, his novels and stories mentioned in the context of J.G. Ballard, Anna Kavan, Shirley Jackson or Robert Aickman."—Lisa Tuttle, Nebula Award winner and author of Gabriel, Windhaven, and The Curious Affair of the Witch at Wayside Cross. "What a wonderful, strange, potent, eerie, bonkers, brilliant novel The Transgressionists is! De Maria's particular genius is to notate those moments in otherwise ordinary existence when the veil of sense and familiarity trembles, when it threatens to fall away entirely revealing something profound and profoundly unnerving about existence."—Adam Roberts, author of Jack Glass and The Thing Itself "Ramon Glazov's translation (with a laudably enlightening introduction) of Giorgio De Maria adds valuably to our appreciation of the pan-European Weird. Little-known until recently even in his native Italy, De Maria is deeply unsettling and destabilising as well as hilarious. How about a perverse game show where death-row prisoners compete for a pardon? How about a 'new normality' art movement that anticipates Gunther von Hagens' shows of plastinated corpses? Or a secret account of Stalin's psychopathology told by a pampered scapegoat? Or a clique of predators upon ordinary folk? Italy has reason to be proud of its rediscovered son."—Ian Watson, author of the Screen Story of Steven Spielberg's Artificial IntelligencePraise for Twenty Days of Turin "An admirable translation... This is a book written in 1975 and featuring no technology more advanced than high-end analog audio recordings, yet it grasps the implications of social media in ways cyberpunk never did... It may be the novel that foreshadows our moment more accurately than any number of speculative fictions...A welcome and timely addition to the weird fiction of distinctly earthly terrors."—Peter Berard, LA Review of Books "Remarkably prescient. There was a disquieting commonality between its intended place and moment and the one we find ourselves in now... No Gibson, no Sterling, no cyberpunk or spec-fic scribbler of the '80s or '90s ever captured the poisoned zeitgeist of social media better than this... It was a book written for a different world. And the most disturbing thing about it is how appropriate it is for ours."—Jason Sheehan, NPR.org "Almost forgotten to the ash heap of collective literary amnesia, Giorgio De Maria's masterpiece oozes with unsettling creepiness and despair as strange gods play out their violent fantasies in an Italy gone quietly insane. This one will slip its way into your darkest dreams."—Christian Kiefer, author of The AnimalsPraise for Giorgio De Maria "More so than any writer of fiction, [De Maria] brings the conscience of Europe to bear upon the waste of post-war civilization."—Matthew Walther, The Week

A beautifully crafted, devastating short fiction collection from the Bram Stoker Awards (R) finalist and author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes.Trade ReviewPraise for The Trees Grew Because I Bled There: Collected Stories"The stories collected here are by turns confident, brutal, and breathtaking... must-read horror" The New York Times“These stories are body horror at its best—but they also enter the realms of dark relationships, intrusions that change our lives forever, obviously not for the best, the fear of illness, of taking care, of love, of obsession, of attachment. They are nightmarish and they are deeply human. I loved them and also my jaw dropped at how daring they are, how far they go. Eric LaRocca is not only good: there’s courage in his literature.” Mariana Enriquez, author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed“The Trees Grew Because I Bled There holds you in thrall until the final transgressive act. Here is a collection of stories at once sophisticated and deeply unsettling, each bolder and more spellbinding—and more revelatory—than the last. Eric LaRocca is one of the horror genre’s most vital voices.” Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind“With The Trees Grew Because I Bled There, Eric LaRocca has woven a tapestry of some of the grimmest and most unsettling stories I have read in a long time, though he does so with a poet’s touch and a surgeon’s steady hand. Terrifying, poignant, and assured, this collection has opened up a wound only to climb inside and fester. Highly recommended.” Ronald Malfi, author of Come With Me“Eric LaRocca’s The Trees Grew Because I Bled There is a staggering, in-depth study of the restless ghosts that haunt the human heart. The stories within this book are emotionally violent, psychologically bruising. What impresses me most is how LaRocca uses carnage of the flesh as a means for exposing the howling spirit trapped within each one of us, crucified to the page for our pleasure.” Philip Fracassi, author of A Child Alone with Strangers“This collection is sublime grounded horror. These stories could be happening in your neighborhood or in the lives of one of your friends, which makes it even more disturbing. Every story is unique in the way it builds aching tension. I read it in one day. Definitely a must read.” V. Castro, author of The Queen of the Cicadas and The Haunting of Alejandra“A powerful collection of eight startling stories. Highly recommended.” Ellen Datlow, editor of the annual series The Best Horror of the Year"LaRocca’s sharp, incisive writing shines a bright light on the disgust, pain, and trauma wriggling under conventional behavior and polite speech... deeply unsettling, beautifully crafted, and difficult to put down once it’s started." Booklist, starred review"LaRocca displays his signature style of rendering grotesque and brutal subject matter in exquisite prose... visceral depictions of unhinged psyches and unflinching body horror throughout will please LaRocca’s fans—and ought to earn him some new ones." Publishers Weekly“Magnificent stories that explore the darkest depths of the human soul. Lyrical, heartbreaking, devastating—this is literary horror at its finest.” Tim Waggoner, author of Your Turn to Suffer“Sometimes you meet someone and within a few minutes you know you're going to be the best of friends. That's how I felt about this book within a few sentences. For such a slim volume it packs a huge punch, touching on Ray Bradbury and Roald Dahl, but completely its own. I felt a pain in my chest during some of the stories, a visceral anxiety to some of the writing. Eric LaRocca is truly original, truly subversive, and truly talented.” Priya Sharma, author of Ormeshadow“Something is rotten at the heart of LaRocca’s literary world. An unease, a disquiet, a world-spanning cancer. Grief and horror unfold in tandem in one of the most original and startling collections I’ve read in a long while. The Trees Grew Because I Bled There is a dark elegy and not one to be taken lightly. Don’t miss it.” John Hornor Jacobs, author of A Lush and Seething Hell
