Quincy J. Allen - Out Through the Attic

$3.77

Thirteen fantastic tales from the cavorting, twisted mind of Quincy J. Allen, Out Through the Attic covers everything from steampunk and fantasy to sci-fi and horror. It’s a cross-genre smorgasbord that’s sure to hit the right spot, with a dose or two of straight—up genre fiction for the meat-and-taters appetite.

WHAT´S INSIDE?

"Family Heirloom" —
A heart-wrenching steampunk tale set after the turn of the century and during the Civil War where a little girl discovers her grandfather´s involvement in an underwater railroad that rescued hundreds of slaves.

"Brainstorm" — 
In the not-too-distant future, a deeply spiritual scientist who dreams in DNA is given the solution to humanity´s greatest problem, whereby he changes humanity forever.


"Cornelius" — 
A very noir take on the origins of the nasally-challenged dwarf we all know from the movies, and all with a very fantasy twist.


"Sol Crystalis Miracalis" — 
In the distant future, miners in the Kuiper Belt discover a new form of life and are preparing to eradicate it in the name of greed. Only Carson Miracle, ex-space-trooper, can prevent a genocidal catastrophe.


"17" — 
In the far future, Happy Holidays still means something, and the guy responsible for the who show needed help, so he made some.


"Lasater´s Lucky Left" — 
In this Old West steampunk yarn, Jake Lasater is a respectable gambler and clockwork gunslinger. When members of the Tong in San Francisco´s China Town steal his money, and has no choice bot to hunt them down.


"Cap’n Plat and the Wrath of Caan" — 
A cross between "Gamma World," "I Robot," and "Pirates of the Caribbean," Cap´n Angio Plat, like any good platypus, is fighting against the Raelish Empire—an empire of rats—which has enslaved an entire race of machines. 


"Baby WEI" — 
In this hard sci-fi story of the near future, babies are getting sick and dying all over the world. Only a very few are able to survive the illness, and they may be the end of humankind as we know it.


"Entropy Seed" — 
Weapons research has catapulted mankind into an unimaginable prowess over the natural world. The Entropy Seed may bring about his dissolution forever.


"Vessels of Abaddon" — 
A sci-fi / horror crossover, Vessels of Abaddon exposes the darker side of seeking revenge and the terrible price one frequently has to pay to achieve it.


"The Resurrection of Samhain" — 
With equal parts science fiction and paranormal, with a side helping of romance, this story reveals the destiny of Ireland´s greatest landmark as the legend of Halloween is reborn on a distant world.


"Salting Dogwood" — 
One of Quincy´s favorite stories, it takes three separate historical events in American history and weaves them together into a ghostly tale of sacrifice and retribution that brings about the downfall of a Grand Dragon as well as his Klan in 1925.


"Out Through the Attic" — 
An American military veteran, weary of the mundane life back home and disgusted by the pointless wars his government wasted so many lives on, is given the opportunity to make every fantasy a reality.

Fleeing an Earth inferno, thirty thousand humans landed on a terrifying yet beautiful planet, they named Eden, hoping to find a new start. Ten years later three hundred and sixty-seven survive; staving off the brutal, carnivorous creatures that prey on them, holding out against a formidable humanoid species known, initially, only as ´them´, while facing insidious deceit and betrayal from within their own ranks.

Wrestling through his own inner turmoil; plagued by the galling memories of Earth’s final hurrah, the death of his parents, and awakened feelings for a girl his best friend loves, shy seventeen-year-old Ristan Abel finds himself plunged into a cauldron of turmoil, treachery and treason. In trying to rescue a clan in chaos, he discovers the truth about his mortal enemies, and the human traitor allying with them to exterminate what’s left of mankind. And in the crucible, he finds himself and becomes a reluctant answer to mankind’s predicament.

Welcome to planet Zika, named such by the planet’s native species, the Zikalic. A planet of stunning contrasts—unspeakable wonder and matchless horror—ruled by the monstrous Xakanic. Bent on annihilating the human race, the Head Chief of the Zikalic serves his own twisted agenda: to strengthen his rule over the bejewelled City of Zika.

S. A. Ferkey - Steel Joe

$2.99

Jesse Tolley has been frozen within the womb of a coulee for more than a century, but today he´s going to rewrite history. Or die trying. 

A hundred years ago, Owen Dervin wanted something he couldn’t have -- Jesse Tolley’s woman. So he framed Jesse for a robbery and murder he didn’t commit, and then shot him in the back and left him for dead. 

But today, a freak accident has resurrected Jesse from the dead. He breathes his first breath in over a century only to discover that his beloved wife, Emily, has passed from this world, and his land is in the hands of strangers. 

That´s not all that´s changed. History has branded Jesse Tolley a thief and murderer, and his sole descendant, Rachil Andrizzi, has changed her name to forever disassociate herself from her infamous great-grandfather. 

Jesse´s shock is compounded when he walks into town and finds himself in the middle of the city´s annual celebration to honor its most famous citizen, the hero, Owen Dervin. 

Jesse will die a happy man if he can clear his name, but the odds are woefully stacked against him. His body has been ravaged by time, gunshot wounds, and innumerable traumas. And now the mayor, the entire police force of Lupine, Wisconsin, and the FBI are gunning for him. 

Can Jesse show Rachil, aka Melinda Tolley, that a man´s name should be a testament to how he lived his life, not how someone else says he lived it -- before time runs out? 

Jesse´s first day in the 21st century could well be his last in this action adventure thriller about one man trying to do the right thing against all odds.

Stuart Harrison - The Snow Falcon

$5.99

An extraordinary story of redemption and love. In a small town in the Pacific Northwest, Susan Baker is struggling with the consequences of the death of her husband in a shooting accident, witnessed by her son Jamie, who has withdrawn into introverted silence. When Michael Somers returns to the town where he grew up, provoking resentment and suspicion among the members of the tightknit community, Susan and Jamie are drawn into the middle of a complex drama. 

Michael is a solitary figure who has spent time incarcerated for something that happened years ago, but which had its genesis long before that, during his troubled childhood. Shunned by the community, Michael struggles to make sense of his life. When he finds a wounded falcon in the mountains, the injured bird becomes a possible route towards redemption and understanding for both Michael and his neighbour’s son, Jamie. The relationship that develops between man and boy, and also Jamie’s mother, Susan is at the heart of the story. However, it is also the spark that ignites tensions among the townspeople and leads to explosive consequences. 

This is a novel about people struggling with their lives and the things that made them who they are. The characters are forced to confront both their strengths and flaws, and to make decisions that determine their futures. Some choose to face their personal demons, but others refuse to recognise their failings, instead compounding their past mistakes, until they threaten to destroy everything around them.
