Tabloid Terrors 3: Alien Perverts Wrecked My Pubes
Aliens are total nymphos, and we are their throwaway sluts. Despite their higher intelligence and technological advances, this third romp through the tabloids will expose their insatiable appetite for a piece of ass (or what comes out of it).
Learn the dangers of eating crotch circle corn. Witness a harrowing battle between alien midgets and a rat while in a crack whore’s vagina. Delight in the thrills of alien probes gone wild and smack your lips on some out-of-this-world barbecue ribs.
Enjoy three stories and five fun fallacies by S.D. Hintz and Jerrod Balzer, plus three tales by guest authors Louise Bohmer, Daniel I. Russell, and L.L. Soares.
See those lights in the sky? Lube up and phone home before it’s too late!

“I like this book even more than eating bananas and flinging poo-poo.”~ Cornelius Badmonk, time-traveling apeman from the future
"A small town full of horror writers where nightmares come to life? What a concept! And Counting Morpheus delivers. From 'What You Know' to 'The Word Inside,' this is some impressive collection. New Bedlam is one place you don't want to call home." -Nate Kenyon, author of Bloodstone and The Reach
In a darkened room, two writers speak in hurried whispers… What could cause the wretched insomnia that has taken them over, compelling them to write words of horrors never seen, only imagined? What could keep them from finishing their works, from containing the monsters within, from binding them with one simple word? How could they find their way out of the darkness they called home…into a darkness of release at Morpheus’ hands?
An idea was born that night. It grew into one monster after another until finally it has broken free.
Featuring stories by M.R. Sellars, Geoffrey Girard, Angela Gray, Ann Tupek, Louise Bohmer, Brandon Layng, Bruce Barber, Camille Alexa, Jeff Parish, Kevin J. Hurtack, Donna Shelton, and David de Beer, Case Files by Rhada McKai and Jodi Lee with an introduction by New York Times Bestselling author, Alethea Kontis.

LOVE AND EVIL KNOW NO BOUNDS!
Turn the page and enter a world of shadow, as Michael West brings together his most disturbing short stories--twisted tales of forbidden desires and ghoulish deeds, where nightmares manifest in the most mundane and unlikely of places...
The basement of a Japanese restaurant, where a seductive creature promises comfort to a lonely hitman, if only he will set her free... A ruined city, where survivors of a natural disaster have become prey to something unnatural... An Indiana farmhouse, where a frightened child attempts to fool the Angel of Death... And the darkest regions of space, where a man fights to protect the woman he loves from invaders only he can see...
Ten reasons to lock your doors. Ten reasons to keep the lights on. Ten reasons why you may never sleep again.
"Michael West loves being a horror writer, is in fact proud to call himself one, and that love of the genre, and his feeling such pride in being a part of it, is evident in each story in this splendid (and sometimes quirky - in the best sense of the word) collection...This is the Good Stuff, folks."~ Gary A. Braunbeck, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Coffin County and Mr. Hands

...has been
published in HUB Magazine, The Late Late Show, Down in the Cellar and
Shroud's ABOMINATIONS anthology. He was also a contributing writer for
the Horror Library.
...his collection
MAGICK & MISERY is getting rave reviews and Lincoln does his own
reviews as well on his website. He also runs an invitation-only workshop/critique
group called the Seven Deadly Pens (http://lcrisler.wordpress.com)
Favorite Lincoln Crisler story? "These days, I think my favorite published
story is Seymour's Descent from MAGICK & MISERY. It's a tribute
to Isaac Asimov's robots; this particular robot learns how to be a serial
killer. I tried to stay true to Asimov's initial concept while stepping
things up a bit in terms of the danger damaged robots are capable of."¯
Highly Recommended Horror Book? "MAGICK & MISERY, of course! For
those who prefer a little less whorror with their horror though: Wrath
James White's SUCCULENT PREY really screwed with my head in a way that
only two other books have done in my entire life. He says his new novel's
even better, but I think he's just saying that to get me to buy a copy."¯
What's next for Lincoln? "I'm coming down the home stretch on a western/detective/horror
novella involving a visiting stranger (think Sherlock Holmes with a
cowboy twist) with a mysterious background. He's called upon by the
local law to investigate a missing persons case (based on an actual
case from the Old West!) and things take a turn for the worse when he
uncovers an evil plot involving Mexican black magic and medicine-zombies.
I have a publisher interested already, so I hope to unleash it upon
the world before too long. I'd love to put together another anthology
(a la the original OUR SHADOWS SPEAK), but only if a stable publisher
is interested in bringing me aboard. The last time I attempted to edit
anthologies on spec, I got burned and the writers got flat-out nuked.
Never again."¯
