I have a handful of 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 paperbacks left over from Authorcon VI. Though this is a collection, it features a novella, the title story. So it should appeal to those who enjoy short stories and longer fiction. These tales range from creature feature and occult horror to bizarro and dystopian sci-fi action/adventure. If you'd like a signed copy, feel free to message me. $15 (includes shipping cost). If you'd prefer an ebook, I'd encourage you to get it from Godless rather than Amazon.

ARC readers/reviewers needed for upcoming collection, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 by James G. Carlson. The ebook drops at Godless (ebook) and Amazon (paperback) on February 5th. Of course, I wouldn't expect a review by that date. As always, I expect the reader to get to the book at their convenience, whether that's two days, two weeks, or two months from now, etc. The genres explored in this book range from creature feature, dark fantasy, and splatterpunk to bizarro, sci-fi horror, and action/adventure.

Coming soon from Gloom House Publishing -- 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦!

After being out of print for years, my sci-fi action/adventure and splattertech novella The Legion Machine is back. And this time, it brought other abominations along, including some fantasy horror, splatterpunk, horror comedy, bizarro satire, and dark occult fiction. Most of these tales are campy, weird, and gruesome, though not without their literary charms. Two of these stories were first published under a pseudonym, and the others found homes in anthologies over the years, one even dating back to 2020.

“Carlson plunges his reader into a meticulously crafted, futuristic, Wild West wasteland where robotic enhancements, nanotechnology, and the odd dose of “necrotechnology” serve in aiding his steely, vengeance-seeking heroine, Angela Graves, as well as her cohorts and an enemy or two. There are enough engaging, detailed surprises and double-crossings to entertain even the most jaded of western and science fiction aficionados. It’s a hell of a good time!”
-Kenzie Jennings, author of RED STATION
