Death Hunt on Ervoon (formally titled Vespix)
by Ray Garton

About the Book:
When we first meet Thom Verku, he's doing what he does best—hunting vespix. Though the large eel-like creatures always provide a challenge, no vespix hunt could ever compare to the adventure he is about to undertake. After being asked to track down a client's runaway wife, Verku and his crew travel to the desolate planet of Ervoon where it doesn't take long for the hunter to become the hunted.

Inspired by the works of authors such as Edgar Rice Burroughs and E.E. "Doc" Smith, Ray Garton's Death Hunt on Ervoon is like nothing you've ever read before. Get ready to encounter songbats, nightmonkeys, vampire snakes and, of course, vespix on this strange new world that only Garton could have dreamed up.

Are you ready for the trip of a lifetime?

Johnny Halloween: Tales of the Dark Season
by Norman Partridge

About the Book:
Norman Partridge's Halloween novel, Dark Harvest, was chosen as one of Publishers Weekly's 100 Best Books of 2006. A Bram Stoker Award winner and World Fantasy nominee, Partridge's rapid-fire tale of a small town trapped by its own shadows welcomed a wholly original creation, the October Boy, earning the author comparisons to Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, and Shirley Jackson.

Now Partridge revisits Halloween with a collection featuring a half-dozen stories celebrating frights both past and present. In “The Jack o' Lantern,” a brand new Dark Harvest novelette, the October Boy races against a remorseless döppelganger bent on carving a deadly path through the town's annual ritual of death and rebirth. “Johnny Halloween” more details
