THE FEASTING RE-RELEASED



FEASTING GETS RE-RELEASE


“Run!” he screamed. “It’s still alive!!”

Michael Vance's Weird Horror Tales: The Feasting, the second book of his pulp firciton trilogy, has joined Weird Horror Tales in re-release by Airship 27 Productions. His second braided novel of fifteen interrelated horror, SF, and fantasy stories was also written in the style and tradition of pulp magazines in the ‘20s, ‘30s, and ‘40s.

Weird Horror Tales:The Feasting is easily one of the creepiest, most mesmerizing horror stories I have ever read. Months after finishing it, images and scenes continued to haunt me and their memories sent chills through me. This is not a book to read alone at night." said Ron Fortier, editor of The Feasting.

“My stories are founded on the premise that there is something larger than our narrow view of reality,” said Vance. “Each interconnected story shares setting, history, prominent families, and a macro plot. The stories also focus on the Azrealites, a religious cult that works tirelessly to reinstate that ‘Other’ on Earth through science and the occult.”

These stories about the fictional town of “Light's End” in Maine have been published in dozens of magazines in three countries. Vance’s influences on these stories are H. P. Lovecraft, William Faulkner, and Ray Bradbury.

The cover was done by France’s Christophe Dessaigne, a journalist, scenarist for role playing games, and photographer. Mainly influenced by the science fiction, horror, and fantastic genres, his atmospheric, surreal creations combine digital photography and manipulation in a dark and post-apocalyptic future.

The interior illustrations are by artist Earl Geier, best known for his horror, fantasy and science fiction artwork. In the role playing game industry, his work includes art for Battletech, Call of Cthulhu, and many others. He has illustrated books for Cemetery Dance magazine, Chaosium, Gryphon and Subterranean Press. For comic book, he's had work published by Dark Horse Comics, Comiczone, Now, Innovation and DC Comics Paradox.

Vance has written for national and international magazines, and as a syndicated columnist and cartoonist in over 500 newspapers. His six published novels include Forbidden Adventures, his Weird Horror Tales trilogy, Global Star, and The Equation. He briefly ghosted an internationally syndicated comic strip, wrote his own strip and several comic books. He is listed in the Who's Who of American Comic Books and Comic Book Superstars.

Weird Horror Tales: Light's End will be reissued by Airship 27 in the near future.

Airship 27 publishes anthologies and novels in the pulp magazine tradition. In the past, Airship 27 has released “Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective”, a series of “Captain Hazzard” pulp thrillers, more pulp fiction in “The Green Lama” and “Secret Agent X”.

JIM ANTHONY Vol 4



THE ACTION CONTINUES
WITH THE SUPER-DETECTIVE

He’s half Comanche, half Irish and ALL AMERICAN!!  Jim Anthony the Super Detective returns in his fourth volume of brand new adventures from Airship 27 Productions. 

Managing Editor Ron Fortier expressed his enthusiasm for this latest release.  “Bringing back old classic pulp heroes is the reason we created Airship 27 Productions in the first place,” he reiterated.  “Thanks to our efforts, new readers are discovering the real fun of such B characters as we purposely bring them to the forefront and put the spotlight on them.  At Airship 27 Productions they become A list heroes.”

Traveling the globe, Anthony battles all manner of twisted villainy in four new tales and his challenges are herculean.  Writers Erwin K. Roberts, Joel Jenkins, Frank Byrns and Mark Justice have whipped up a quartet of high adventure stories that are the hallmark of the Super Detective.  From Mexico, where he encounters a Nazi spy ring to the streets of Manhattan where he hunts down a brutal serial killer, Jim Anthony proves once again why he is one of the most exciting and original heroes ever created in the golden age of American pulps.

“Aside from the western pulps,” Fortier points out, “Jim Anthony was the only modern pulp adventurer with a Native American heritage; something several of our writers enjoyed exploring in their stories.”

This volume, the fourth in an on-going series, features interior illustrations by Michael Neno and a dazzling cover by Eric Meador, with book designs by Rob Davis.  Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to continue the exploits of the one and only, Jim Anthony – Super Detective.
