Available to pre-order for a December 2011 release! Neighbourhood Jungle by Brett McBean Cover art by Steve Crisp Internal illustrations by Keith Minnion Bonus stories from Kealan Patrick Burke and R. Frederick Hamilton Synopsis: Six months have passed since the arrival of the New World. A world plunged into primitive living overnight.
Within this wild and dangerous landscape live two types of survivors: those attempting to restore civilisation, a sense of order and normalcy; and those who have embraced the jungle, governed by new rules, doing anything to survive.
For the group living in the remains of a supermarket – now a make-shift hospital and refuge – their attempts of a safe, ordered life has so far been successful. There's an adequate supply of food, with injuries and maladies being treated as best as possible by the local doctor. Their main concern is the gang living in the ruined Blockbuster across the river. As wild and untamed as the jungle that has taken over the once-thriving suburban shopping strip, the gang kidnap and murder at will, hanging what remains of the dead from a nearby fast-food sign.
So far they’ve left the small community alone, but it’s only a matter of time before the gang's blood lust brings forth a deadly confrontation.
In the jungle, only the fittest survive. Welcome to the neighbourhood.Limited to 180 author-signed softcovers, only $14! 26 lettered hardcovers, $80 ( sold out) Order direct from publisher for free shipping within the US and Australia: tasmaniacpublications@gmail.com

When will this go up for pre-order at The Horror Mall ? Roy has the details but I think he's going to wait until the cover art is ready, which will be two or three months away. No sweat though, I always put by a healthy pile of copies for HM. ;D Steve.

I read the second draft of NEIGHBOURHOOD JUNGLE this weekend past and you're in for a real treat. It's dark, vicious, bleak and dedicated to Richard Laymon - need I say more? Steve.

I've decided to wait until all three books are in the house before sinking my eyes into this trilogy.

I've decided to wait until all three books are in the house before sinking my eyes into this trilogy. Not really necessary as although all are based in the Jungle mythos, each are stand alone novellas. Knowing how busy you are though, I can dig it. Steve.

Each piece of art by Keith Minnion produces a story of it's own, yet fits perfectly and enhances another author's story. I love his art. (. . . and Keith's writing is damned good too. ) Brett and Keith are a great combo. Jan
