Publisher's Summary:
Horror, Humor, and Heroes is a collection of twelve short stories, one novella, and a preview for my next novel that should contain enough variety to entertain you readers. Sample some of my finest offerings, such as - a guardian wolf fearing the coming of man, a producer willing to do anything to bring the first pay per view live werewolf hunt to the world, a zombie running for congress, a vampire trying to get his life insurance company to pay up, a six year old girl, who makes a cookie people will do anything for, the story of the first child born on the Moon, or a draftee in a war against science gone awry.
This collection includes the novella, "Confessions of a D-List Supervillain." It is one of my favorite endeavors and anyone who has ever cracked open a comic book will appreciate this story about a down on his luck bad guy forced into the reluctant role of world savior. Also inside is a preview of Prime Suspects: A Clone Detective Mystery.
Members Reviews:
Not bad but short stories shouldn't be this short.
More bits and pieces than real short stories, weighed down with the first half of Confessions of a D-list Supervillain - a much better book.
With plenty of twisted humor, oh yes.
What did you love best about Horror, Humor, And Heroes?
The variety in the stories. Halfway through, you didn't feel like the next story was just a rehash of one you had already heard.
Who was your favorite character and why?
As this is a short story collection, hard to choose. My top 3 short stories were Adventurers Beware, Charlie Horse, and Lieutenant Armchair. The first - a new twist on the D&D adventure motif, the second - zombies for green energy!, and the third - nitty gritty and there were big, big bugs.
Which scene was your favorite?
Again, hard to choose just one. I liked the ending to Raw and Reel quite a bit. Also Adam on his moon taking his picture. Then Kelley saved by gender bias. Oh,and of course so many bits from the first 5 chapters of Confessions of a D-List Supervillain.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Twisted humor for the twisted soul.
Any additional comments?
This short story collection is full of werewolves, zombies, Greek idols, giant bugs, and the first kid born on the moon. With plenty of twisted humor. Oh yes. If the average puns and jokes that populate SFF literature merely get a weak grin out of you, then perhaps you need some deeper, darker humor? It can be found here. This collection contains 11 or 12 short stories plus the first 5 chapters of Confessions of a D-List Supervillain and the first few chapters of Prime Suspects. So its a great way to see if this author is for you. And it is thoroughly entertaining.
While I wont go through each and every short story, I will share my thoughts on my favorites.
Raw and Reel David is a TV producer, and he is filming a questionable show in Mexico. Its a werewolf hunt. Yeah, werewolves turn up here and there and as long as they cage themselves during the full moon and dont make a ruckus, no one much cares. But once one goes wild and crazy, then they have to be put down. Well, this particular werewolf may or may not have done the deed, but it looks like he will have to pay the price. And what of David and his sleazy soul? Well, theres a surprise waiting for him. I liked the twisted nature of this tale from start to finish.
My Son, The Monster Daedalus and his son Icarus have been imprisoned by Minos.
