I’m currently working on three things. The first is a bizarro novella for KHP tentatively titled Lake Fossil. The reason the title is tentative is because we’re still not sure what works best. For a while, I wanted to call it Binky: A Bizarro Novel, but that might not work either. The second is a John Carter-esque novella for Apex called The Lost Level. It’s a love letter to the man-out-of-time sword & sorcery epics of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Otis Adelbert Kline, Joe Lansdale, etc. (yes, hisownself wrote one). The third is a novel with J.F. Gonzalez for Bloodletting Press titled Clickers vs. Zombies, which is about Clickers and zombies and zombie Clickers. Here are the first sentences of each:
(From Lake Fossil): Phil Campbell was sure that living in Lake Fossil would suck.
(From Clickers vs. Zombies): As he did most mornings, Jim Thurmond had to remind himself that this was no longer his home.
(From The Lost Level): My name is Aaron Pace, and I’m writing this by hand in a spiral-bound, college-ruled notebook that I found in a backpack attached to a skeleton inside a school bus.
Love ‘em all. Totally intrigued by the Lost Level opening and description.
Looking forward to all the new stuff. Thanks for the preview.
damn skippy, skipper.
while the idea of any barsoomian men’s adventure tends to fill me with dread, i think you could actually pull it off.
(i mean, hell, you made zombies vs. dinosaurs work pretty good, and that’s got about a billion things stacked against it from the get go.)
Love those opening lines!
Jim Thurmond!!!!! Cool! Dig that 1st line to Lost Level, too. m/
wow brian,i am soo excited for each of these!
Jim Thurmond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My post has more exclamation points! Therefore, I am clearly more excited!!!! Cant wait on all accounts! -KDM
You magnificent TEASING bastard!!!! Cant wait!
All three sound sweet and I can’t wait to read them. Keep it up Brian!
NICEEEEEE……
Awesome Brian! Can’t wait for these, especially Clickers vs. Zombies!
Which story has zombies vs Dinosaurs in it ?!?
Love the Lost Level intro. Sold.
Clickers vs. Zombies? I mean does my reading material get any better? The fact that there was a Clickers III was awsome, but now throw in some Zombies? Can I have any more question marks? Thrilled beyond belief I am!!!
Which story has zombies vs Dinosaurs in it ?!?
The story your asking about is titled “Lost Canyon of The Dead”. It’s a short story by Keene that was featured in the zombie collection “The Living Dead 2″. It’s an awesome read.
Lake Fossil. Really? You’re naming a story LAKE FOSSIL.
You must be trying to make his head explode.
“tentatively titled Lake Fossil”
Well, yeah–final title or not, I’m giggling and finding myself tempted to search the web for his reaction…
Thanks Kevin
Hey Brian,
Who is KHP?
