Dave Carrico
Magdeburg, once destroyed by the imperialist army in 1631, has risen from its ruins under the United States of Europe, fueled by rapid industrial growth and an influx of immigrants.

Dave Carrico
When Johann Gronow launches Der Schwarze Kater to publish Lovecraft and Poe in Magdeburg, young bookkeeper Philip Fröhlich becomes determined to write similar stories.

Fairwood Press
Egyptian Motherload
David Sandner & Jacob Weisman
The Prophet is one of a very few musicians with the ability to warp reality through his music. His dreams bring him to other realms, to places he should not go, into contact with entities with the power to threaten the existence of our world.
Egyptian Motherlode is a wild ride through American popular music of the 20th century, from Jazz to Blues, from Psychedelic Rock to Funk and beyond, following The Prophet’s life and transformations—and all the people: family, friends, bandmates, and enemies he changes along the way—on the
strangest musical journey of all.
Beyond Here Be Monsters
Gregory Frost
Monsters are where you find them . . . unless they find you first: A young Abraham Van Helsing tracks the first vampires of his career while something far more horrible dwells much closer to home. A boxing manager seeks to discover what inhuman force could have killed his best prizefighter. A 19th century chemist investigates spiritualism, inventing a device whereby mediums speak with the dead. A werewolf awaiting a transfer of funds from home becomes embroiled in a bank robbery. A young boy discovers something unnatural living alongside him in a Chicago boarding house. A private investigator searching for a runaway wife tracks her to a town with a diabolical secret. Odysseus and his Greek soldiers climb out of the Trojan Horse . . . and into a nightmare.
These are just some of the Creatures and Curiosities lurking within this collection of fourteen dark, sinister, and comic stories by Stoker, Hugo, and Nebula award finalist Gregory Frost.
