BAND OF GYPSIES by C. Dennis Moore and David Bain. Legend says Jimi Hendrix forgot the master tapes for Axis: Bold as Love in a London taxi. To date, the tapes have never been found... Now, C. Dennis Moore, author of the Kindle horror bestselling haunted house novel THE THIRD FLOOR, THE MAN IN THE WINDOW, THE GHOSTS OF MERTLAND and REVELATIONS, and David Bain, author of GRAY LAKE and the Will Castleton series, bring you the true story behind the disappeared recordings, involving Jimi's ghost, blood-thirsty, body-hopping alien demons, a shoot-out unlike any you've ever read before, and visions of the real Electric Ladyland!

THE SCARLET SPONGE - Wayne Allen Sallee. The only nonfiction entry here is Bram Stoker Award nominee Wayne Allen Sallee's harrowing memoir of living the horror he writes about, telling the tales of his 37 visible scars as well as those unseen from living with cerebral palsy and being turned into "kibbles and bits" by a downtown Chicago hit-and-run car accident. You won't read this one unscathed - Sallee's hard-boiled style, oft compared to the likes of hardcore underground voices like Hubert Selby, Jr., or Charles Bukowski, is unflinching.

'VETTE FEVER - Ken Goldman. The award-winning author of more than 650 published tales, Goldman puts the pedal to the metal in this heart-racing ride-along. Hold on tight as Goldman whips you through a tale wherein one man's midlife crisis toy - the titular sleek cherry red racer - seems to literally be making him younger. But, ah! The worship of speed, horsepower and youth demands sacrifices...

WEED: A SHORT GREEN RIVER CRIME NOVEL. A former crime reporter writing in the realm of David Bain's haunted and crime-ridden smalltown city of Green River, Daryl Burns packs several kilos of drug-fueled action, violence and suspense into his tale of James, who needs money. Now. Then James learns Mickle doesn't seem to keep much track of his seemingly limitless weed inventory. Mickle won't notice if James snags just one small brick of skank, will he? James tells himself he'll take just a little, just enough to get his child support, his probation officer, his sister, his grandmother and his baby mama off his back. Besides, a total dweed like Mickle couldn't do much about it even if he DID find out? Right?
Wrong! James is about to find out there's a fierce, cunning, brutal side to Mickle - and Mickle's friends - that he hasn't even come close to seeing yet!

THE GIRL WITH THE HONEY HAIR - Newcomer Brad Kane twists us an insane, bizarro sci-fi road story about a poet who has sold his soul and whose Chevy Malibu gets literally sucked into an alternate America. Here, among other modifications to the landscape, the Grand Canyon is filled with discarded manuscripts, the Rocky Mountains are made of loand-and-never returned cassettes, records and CDs, and Gary, Indiana is filled with mountains of lost socks. Meanwhile, as the poet pines for a long-ago "girl with the honey hair," he's convinced twin brother, who was kidnapped as a child, waits somewhere in this lonely world. Soon he discovers the detective who headed the case years ago, wandering in this desolate world, unable to speak...
