Beyond the Valley of the Apocalypse Donkeys by Jordan Krall

Jordan Krall’s most provocative work to date.  A rare film is the catalyst for bizarre murder, kinky infidelity, and an identity crisis that borders on the apocalyptic. Unlike any of the author’s other works, this book will surely please fans of David Lynch and other mindbenders. You can add this to your collection here.

KARAOKE DEATH SQUAD by Eric Mays

From Eric Mays, the brilliantly witty mind that brought you NAKED METAMORPHOSIS comes this karaoke epic.

Odie Wharton knows there is a power to rockin’ the ‘oke. Standing in front of a ravenous (and often critical) crowd at the Ithaca Lounge in an epic clash of Karaoke Roulette brings about a high that is unlike anything on this Earth. Or so it does for Odie. Power, glory, sweat, tears, and maybe a little afternoon delight can all be had at the karaoke mic.

But someone has changed the rules. Seems in the seedy karaoke underbelly of Baltimore, a trio of nymphomaniacal sirens are aiming to ruin the karaoke game…and at a cost. Local barflies are vanishing. Men are becoming pregnant. Odie may have to move out of his mother’s house! Oh the horror!

At some point, there’s only so much a self-confessed schlub can take. Recruiting a few local drunks, a rag-tag band of Russians, and a humble DJ, Odie assembles a “Karaoke Death Squad” determined to thwart the trio’s treachery – even if it takes them to the pits of hell – all to keep karaoke fair and balanced. Oh yes, the Karaoke Death Squad is going to rock (some Groban)!

“Mays belts out his prose with the swagger of Mick Jagger, taking you on a narrative odyssey that includes a reluctant hero, a trio of dangerous sirens, and karaoke roulette.  Fun and imaginative, Karaoke Death Squad hits all the right notes.” – S.G. Browne, author of Breathers and Fated
