News on upcoming news...


It's been too long since I've laid a post down here, which is totally unfair seeings how we have such great titles in the works. Over the next several days I'll be posting information in greater details, but for now I'd just like to drop a few words highlighting some of what's coming up...

First, now released from the printer, is the third book in The Palik Series from BearManor Fiction and the North American Jules Verne Society: Mr. Chimp and Other Plays. This is a fascinating collection which provide some real insights into Verne as a younger writer and what he would become. I'll write more on this anon... just know that it's rolled off the presses and we'll have ordering available through our website and through Amazon tres soon.

Also coming soon is a short fiction collection by Hollywood writer Michael B. Druxman. Dracula Meets Jack the Ripper, and Other Revisionist Histories is currently in production. This collection of amusing stories, some quite slapstick in spots, calls back to such classic stylings as Abbot & Costello Meet the Wolfman, and even, dare I suggest it, Bill and Ted. Don't believe me? Well check back later for even more details as this book nears completion.

Speaking of funny...how about Red Skelton? Wes Gehring offers up I, Red Skelton: Exit Laughing… or, A Man, His Movies, and Sometimes His Monkeys, an authorized, fictionalized biography of Red Skelton. Confused? So was I at first, but the payoff is pretty darn good. This is also currently in production and I'll give up some more details as they become available.

Big on promises, short on detail? Well, yeah. This is a "catch up" post. Over the weekend I'll go into greater detail on each new title, and on other titles coming up.

BearManor Fiction...we're about to maul you with good reads.

(This isn't an official slogan or anything. I'm just trying it on for size. No? Ah well.)

Cheers!
