“I had come to burn the fucking world down.”
Salem Covington sets out on a journey for revenge after getting word about the murder of his teacher and mystical mentor, Dead Bear. The Comanche shaman wasn’t the only one with a reputation that preceded him, and now the Black Magpie has a new score to settle. Lying inside “The Magpie Coffin”, Dead Bear’s corpse is brought along for the ride, while Mr. Covington employs the aid of army scout Jake Howe to help him track down the men responsible for his teacher’s death, in this dark and hyperviolent quest for vengeance written by Wile E. Young.
“You smell delicious.”
Beatrice is just a small town girl from Elkbury. After receiving a prophetic message, she begins to question her place in the whimsically dark realm of Venari. When a band of warriors show up at the Old Dead Oak tavern looking for volunteers to aid them in a quest on behalf of the queen, Beatrice answers the call to arms. Little does she know about the hungry horrors that lie beyond the safety of her small town, that lurk within the notorious forest of Taun Grove, and prowl the mountains of “Everfrost”. Expect a cold and cruel adventure to take shape, and when it does… expect claws, fangs, and deliciousness!
“Madness wields many a disguise.”
This is a “massive story” that was written while under the influence of David Lynch and Stephen King. Well, at least that’s what the blurb from the product page implies. I suppose that explains the fever dream that is “Chameleon” – an “acid trip” of epic proportion featuring a nameless protagonist. He has no name, which I guess makes the guy “mysterious”, but it could also mean he’s just an undocumented immigrant. He is in search of answers, but does he possess the will to gaze into his navel long enough to uncover the root of his existential crisis?!
“It’s just a big game these elites like to play.”
Aliens, alternate dimensions, and demonic entities… are they fact or fiction? Is the world really coming to an end? Perhaps there’s something supernatural surrounding all this speculation. What if you found out the truth was intentionally being withheld by “The Brotherhood of Secret Darkness and Other Cults, Cabals, and Conspiracies” (not to mention lizard people)? Would you be paranoid? More importantly, who would believe you, even if you knew it to be true?
“The Voice-Over”
Light a vanilla scented Yankee Candle, run yourself a bubble bath, and grab a bottle of wine, because love is in the air. Better grab some tissues while you’re at it too, and prepare yourself to be caught in a bad romance - told through the eyes of our main character (who just so happens to be a woman), but believe it or not – this novella was written by… a man (Matt Shaw). Wait, why are you crying? What’s the matter? Who hurt you? How do you have such a “Moist Gusset”?! I’M NOT YELLING, YOU’RE YELLING! Where are you going? |
