Back in 2006, my erotic horror novelette Failure launched a "hardcover chapbook" line for Delirium Books. I got to create the wraparound cover art for that and the next several releases in the line, which was a lot of fun and really allowed me to stretch creatively beyond just "words". A couple months ago, I got the rights back to my early Delirium titles, and so this week, Dark Arts Books has reissued Failure. Cage of Bones & Other Deadly Obsessions will follow shortly -- and be available in paperback for the first time!
For Failure, I decided to revisit and update the cover art as well as add a new author Afterword. The original full wraparound cover art is included at the end of the book for those who wonder what the original edition looked like.
To celebrate the reissue, the novelette is FREE this week on Amazon -- I'm hoping lots of people will download, enjoy this twisted little tale and spread the word about the book so it finds a new audience. Check out the new edition and download your free copy of Failure.
The story revolves around three teens, who are lured into a twisted occult plot by a wizard with the promise of sex and drugs. But they never realized that the old man's intentions were far darker than voyeurism.
Here are a couple of the reviews that the original edition received:
"Failure is one nasty tale -- full of evil spells and bloodshed. It's fast-paced and unforgettable."
--Wicked Karnival
"...kind-of like reading a novella-length version of lyrics to a Slayer song ...Failure is an impressive, fast-paced read that shoves your face into the sleaze and then takes off like a drive-by shooting. For a short story, this sucker packs quite a punch."
--The Horror Fiction Review
