RAVENWOOD'S FIRST NOVEL
THE FIRST EVER…A
RAVENWOOD – STEPSON OF MYSTERY NOVEL!
Airship 27 Productions, one of the
leading publishers of New Pulp fiction, is thrilled to present the first ever
full length novel based on the classic pulp occult detective series, Ravenwood
– Stepson of Mystery by writer Micah Harris.
One of the most famous unsolved
murder mysteries was the shooting death of well known actor-director, William
Desmond Taylor in Hollywood
circa 1922. Nine years later, while
investigating an alleged curse on German composer Wilhem Richard Wagner’s lost
opera, occult detective Ravenwood uncovers a connection between the missing
score and the death of the flamboyant Taylor.
He is hired to find it.
Upon arriving in Hollywood he discovers others connected to
the lost opera have also perished under mysterious circumstances. It is an arcane trail of death that leads
back in time to the ancient plateaus of Lost Hyperborea and an immortal entity
seeking the ultimate power to rule mankind.
As the first sound movie version of Wagner’s opera goes into production,
the Stepson of Mystery races to solve Taylor’s
murder before more blood is shed and the City of Dreams becomes a Nightmare Wasteland.
Says Airship 27 Productions’
Managing Editor, Ron Fortier, “This is a project we were excited about since
day one when Micah Harris first suggested the plot to us. His tying a classic pulp hero with one of the
most notorious crimes in Hollywood history was
sheer genius. Then he sweetened the pot
by bringing aboard renowned graphic artist Bret Blevins to do all the art, both
interiors and cover, for what is a truly fantastic book.”
From the Golden Age of Hollywood
to the magnificent seven ascending plateaus of Lost Hyperborea, writer Micah Harris delivers the first ever
Ravenwood – Stepson of Mystery full length novel in RETURN OF THE DUGPA.

PULP - The Art of Rob Davis
PULP!
The Art of Rob Davis
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to announce the release
of its newest title which shines the spotlight on one of the finest graphic
artists in the media, Rob Davis. Ten
years ago, when the company was first launched, Davis accepted the position of Art Director
and in that time has overseen the look and design of all the Airship 27
Productions novels and anthologies now numbering over a hundred.
With a background as a successful, highly respected
comicbook artist, Davis
quickly established himself as a gifted book illustrator when he took on that
role for the company’s first titles three titles, “The Hounds of Hell,”
“Brother Bones – The Undead Avenger” and “Secret Agent X – Vol One.”
“It was always agreed our books would feature interior
illustrations,” explains Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor, Ron
Fortier. “Having Rob Davis onboard to
provide the illustrations for those early titles was such a thrill for us and a
major part of our success in the burgeoning New Pulp field.”
In the ten years Davis
has been associated with the company, he has done hundreds of illustrations
featuring both classic and new pulp heroes to include Secret Agent X, Captain
Hazzard, the Moon Man, the Black Bat and dozens of others. In his drawings for the Airship 27 Sherlock
Holmes anthology series, he’s made a reputation as one of the premier Holmes
& Watson artist working today. That
was solidified when he won the first ever Pulp Factory Award in 2009 in the
Best Interior Illustrations category for his work in “Sherlock Holmes
Consulting Detective Vol One.”
“PULP – The Art of Rob Davis,” is the first published
collection of Davis’
remarkable work and contains 175 black and white pieces; all of which have
appeared in the pages of various Airship 27 Productions books. Adds Fortier, “We’ve no doubt this book will
soon become a collector’s item to any true pulp fan who appreciates the role of
art in the history of pulp fiction.” The
book features an Introduction by award-winning British writer I.A. Watson and
Fortier provides a post-essay to round the volume.

Meanwhile, we will continue to bug the hell out of Mr. Saunders for that
long awaited sequel. Ha.’
