TOURNAMENT OF DEATH 2
Stephen D. Sullivan
Retail Price: $15.99
"Don't wait for me!" Rhiannon the sea elf cried as the first of the human-faced dogs bore her to the ground. "Keep going! I'll try to catch up!"
You may have lived through the first tournament, but this one will kill you....
The lost island of Shumakai returns, bringing fabulous treasure, unknown challenges, and almost certain death. Only one person survived the original Tournament Maximus, and now she and her lover find themselves drawn to the isle once more. Joining them are champions from across the World-Sea: humans, elves, dwarves, cat-people, dog-people, mermen, winged folk, and more. From the kung fu temple of Wudan to the wizardly Isle of Prophecy, all have come to face the ultimate challenge. But even the most talented and powerful will surely perish within the Deluvian Temple during Tournament of Death 2.
Renowned for his fast-paced imaginative tales, Stephen D. Sullivan is the award-winning author of dozens of books and stories, including trilogies for Legend of the Five Rings, Spider Riders, and Dragonlance.
"One of the things that I most enjoy about Sullivan's work is its glee, which occurs in two forms, both of which are very much on display in the Tournament of Death series. One is the demonic glee with which he propels his characters through an obstacle course that would give Indiana Jones pause. The other is the giddy delight with which he playfully rampages through popular culture, filling his world with a vast multitude of monsters and heroes from every corner of the pulp imagination, and somehow making it all work. Enormous fun. *****"

FIT FOR A FRANKENSTEIN
Paul McComas and Greg Starrett
Retail Price - $8.99
Here, for the first time ever:
The tale that 1940s-era horror movies dared not tell!
FIT FOR A FRANKENSTEIN
While en route to the alpine town of Vasaria, the diabolical body snatcher Ygor stops in the village of Kotstadt to obtain a custom-made suit for his friend, the ever-menacing Frankenstein Monster. The unholy duo's visit endangers fastidious tailor Klaus Hauptschmidt and his effervescent teenage daughter, Gretl ... and prompts hijinks of monstrous proportions!
MONSTER MASHER WARNING - Contains one buxom fraulein and some racy innuendo. (Nothing graphic or explicit.)
"Fit for a Frankenstein is a sure fit for any reader who has fond memories of the iconic Monster-or for those meeting him for the first time. It's obvious that the authors of this wacky novella had a barrel of fun writing it, and their glee is contagious as they bring the lumbering, sewn-together fellow back from the dead, accompanied by Ygor (who's a real hoot here!). Share their mad journey in these fascinating pages. You'll be glad you did!"
- William F. Nolan, author of Logan's Run
"McComas and Starrett create a hilarious envisioning of Ygor's and the Monster's quest for an XXL suit 'fit for a Frankenstein'-a tall order indeed! With elements of the gothic, the historical, and pop culture, you'll never look at Dr. Frankenstein's creation-nor at its trousers-the same way again."
- Rachel Waxman, author of The Crickhowell School for the Muses
"Fit for a Frankenstein is a delightful literary Rube Goldberg machine, its intricate design made to manufacture laughs and evoke memories of black-and-white movies seen on a flickering screen. Humor high and low, clever levers from which spring puns so terrifying you have to laugh, and the sound of groaning that may or may not be your own-all will keep you deep in a hypnotic state from which you will be loath to wake. It's smart, funny, and truly goofy in the best of all possible ways."
- Rick Kleffel, "The Agony Column," California Public Radio/www.bookotron.com
Paul McComas is the award-winning author of four critically acclaimed books and the editor of two more. This is his first collaborative novella - and the literary debut of his co-author and longtime friend Greg Starrett.

COW DEMON now out of print.
At the request of author Edward Readicker-Henderson, Under the Protection of the Cow Demon is now out of print. (Though the decision saddens us, the reasons for it seem entirely reasonable to Walkabout Publishing.)
It has been a great pleasure to publish this book and bring Edward's insightful work to a new audience. We hope to publish other books by Edward in the future.
