New from editor Robin Knabel and Inky Bones Press, Who’s Listening?
Welcome to the 1940’s, when radio ruled. Invisible waves of sound infiltrated everyday life. Each week, people tuned in to their favorite programs. Perched on the edges of their seats, they listened with bated breath. Velvet-voiced radio personalities wove tales of witches, monsters, and supernatural events—chilling stories whose spooky powers grew stronger with each telling. Thrilling broadcasts stretched past the gloaming well into twilight, seducing audiences around the world. Eager listeners unwittingly summoned monstrosities and horrors into their homes and minds. The excitement of the forbidden and unknown was an open invitation to nightmares they never imagined. Until it was too late. Available now in eBook, with other editions to follow, you can grab your copy here.
Available now from author Robert P. Ottone and Undertaker Books, The Triangle and The Deep: Double Feature
How far would you go to save those you love? Would you go to the ends of the earth–even if the world you knew was submerged underwater and your entire life was lived on vessels on the surface?
This is the world that Robert P. Ottone introduces to us in The Triangle and The Deep, two young adult novels in one that do a phenomenal job of updating Lovecraftian lore, while introducing us to a band of residents who fight to keep their homes safe–from marauders and cosmic entities alike!
Brimming with tension, Ottone pulls the reader through these tales of action and danger like few authors can. The cosmic horror sparkles as the story unfolds, and throughout, the reader will root for Azlynn, one of the most tenacious heroines you’ll ever meet. Because Azlynn? She won’t just go to the ends of the earth to save those she loves. She’ll go farther.
The Triangle won a Bram Stoker Award for Best Young Adult Novel. The Triangle and The Deep are the first two books in The Rise trilogy. Available now in eBook and paperback editions, you can pick up your copy here.
