"Literature is just porn without the honesty" –Charles Buttkowski

From the demented minds of Bizarro authors Danger Slater and Brian Asman comes Boinking Bizarro, an anthology of weird literary parodies. You''ve never seen the classics quite like this!

We''ve taken that old, musty canon and dressed it up in lace, leather, and lipstick. Wowza! In Boinking Bizarro, a glory hole attendant seeks to give his wife the family she deserves, a time-traveling professor gives blind poet John Donne a hand, a slick serial killer gets the tables turned on that ass, a P.I. delves into the mysterious goings-on at a whorehouse, the forgotten erotic ouevre of Alfred Horsecock is explored, a trip to Mars puts a cloned super-soldier in a seminally sticky situation, and how did they film the infamous orgy scene in that Stephan Kink clown movie, anyway?

There had been talk of monsters around the small, quiet town of Fort Whipple for some time before the evening of the brutal massacre.

First it was the livestock. Dead, shriveled bodies lined the fields, drained of their blood.

But when human bodies begin falling from the sky, a dark protector of sorts is dispatched to minimize the casualties.

"Dark, gritty, and an ending that will leave you shook. Justin Woodward has arrived in the old west to rip out your heart and stomp on it."– RJ Roles, author of Pieces of Me

"Strangers in the Night is a terrifying novel of big-city crime reporting. Peg Tyre knows what she' s talking about, and it shines through on every page." -JAMES PATTERSON

Ambitious but unseasoned crime reporter Kate Murray is hungry to prove herself at a cutthroat New York City tabloid. But when she blows a major murder story-mistaking a slain crack dealer for a promising Harvard-bound student-her editors give her one last chance to save her career.

Scanning the weekend homicide reports, Kate spots a case no one else seems to be watching: Margaret Severing, a devoted nurse gunned down in the lobby of her Bushwick apartment building. Determined to redeem herself, Kate dives in, racing to uncover the truth before the police-or her competitors-can.

Her reporting puts her on a collision course with two dangerous men: Detective John Finn, still shaken by a near-fatal incident and clinging to the hope that Kate might be a fresh start...and Dominick Donatti, a brooding psychopath and the sole witness to the nurse's killing, who believes Kate is his way out of the life closing in around him.As Kate chases the story of her career, she's drawn into a web of obsession, ambition, and violence...where one wrong move could cost her everything.

"A gorgeous, bloody, surreal nightmare" —Suzan Palumbo

"Piper is a voice to be reckoned with." —Gabino Iglesias

New Mexico Territory, 1882: She comes to the Klein ranch at sunset, a strange naked pregnant woman dragging a cavalry saber. Annette Klein and her husband have built peace between their marriage and secret relations beyond, but their serenity dies in bloodshed tonight through a cannibalistic demon and a mad preacher.

Annette barely escapes the bloodbath to the nearby town of Low''s Bend, where she might find safety with a shotgun-toting barkeep, two no-nonsense boarding room ladies, and the gunslinging bounty hunter who''s captured Annette''s heart.

But hell is at her heels. If she''s going to survive until dawn, she''ll have to forget everything she knows about peace and mercy, and face a hollow malevolence more ancient and ruthless than she''s ever imagined.

"Cruel Angels Past Sundown is a gorgeous, bloody, surreal nightmare with a palpable, pulsing heart. Piper''s innovative prose is tactile and immersive. It binds you to Annette''s soul and the people of Low''s Bend and makes you want to fight for them. By the end, I knew neither the wrath of heaven nor hell had any chance of breaking the bonds of queer love and found family. Long live queer horror in the face of those who would call us blasphemous. Thank you for this battle cry in the darkness. This book is a treasure." —Suzan Palumbo, Nebula Finalist

"From its unforgettable opening to its furious, apocalyptic climax, Cruel Angels Past Sundown moves with the implacable dread of a nightmare. But the slashes it leaves in your gut, and the hardpan dust it rubs in the wounds, are all too real." —Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror
