 Tasmaniac is very proud to present its first novel release, The Awakening by Brett McBean. As part of their hard cover line, The Asylum Projects, this will be limited to only 200 signed & numbered copies. For as long as he can remember, fourteen-year-old Toby Fairchild has been afraid of the strange old man living across the street. Along with the rest of the kids in the small Midwestern town of Belford, he sees the reclusive Mr. Joseph as the local bogeyman.
Mr. Joseph’s life is an unhappy one. The memories of his past fill him with deep sorrow, and the kids of Belford have long been afraid of him, what with his unusual features and awkward gait.
However, when Toby accidentally discovers the remarkable truth about Mr. Joseph, an unlikely friendship develops. Over the course of the summer, Toby will come to know about pain and death; loss and the meaning of freedom, as Mr. Joseph recounts the incredible story of his past back in Haiti. A story laced with voodoo spirits, slave plantations, evil sorcerers…and zombis.
Toby will learn that monsters do exist – though not always where you expect to find them. Quotes taken from Ray Garton’s introduction, It Came From the Wrong Side of the Tracks: (Brett McBean) lures us in and settles us into a story that is not designed to make us scream and hide under the covers, but one that lingers after we’re done reading it and haunts us.
(The Awakening) has a heartbeat and a grip that pulls you in and keeps you from getting away.450 pages. Cover & internal illustrations by Erin Wells. Signed by all three contributors. $40.00 - Pre-order your copy now for a July release! Order direct from publisher - email: tasmaniacpublications@gmail.com with TA in the subject heading and we'll respond with your given number, and an invoice to follow. NOTE: Those that bought the previous title in this hardcover line will get the opportunity to match their numbers. |
