LIARS, FAKERS, AND THE DEAD WHO EAT THEM – ALLEVON #2
I have been holding onto this announcement for a while now, and I know some of you have been waiting ever so patiently, but I can finally announce the next book in the ALLEVON series by Written Backwards. If you’re not familiar with ALLEVON, these are smaller, illustrated, trade paperbacks from some of the best writers of speculative fiction working today. The name of the series is “novella” in reverse (What else would you expect from a imprint of Dark Regions Press called Written Backwards?), and focuses on original fiction under 40,000 words. The first book in the series, At the Lazy K, by Gene O’Neill (an award-winning writer of science fiction, fantasy, and horror), was a novella published in May 2015, and featured illustrations by L.A. Spooner, as well as an introduction by Rena Mason.
So, how do you follow a book that is part western, part ghost story, part drug-rehabilitation, and a literary, multi-genre exploration into the rich cultural history of northern California?
With something unexpected.
Zombies.
Liars, Fakers, and the Dead Who Eat Them by Scott Edelman is officially the next book in the ALLEVON series! Liars, Fakers, and the Dead Who Eat Them is a collection of two zombie novelettes that dance together in a wonderfully-horrific, undead embrace. This second book in the series will be illustrated throughout by British Fantasy Award winning artist Daniele Serra, who is responsible for creating the incredible cover below. And, of course, Scott Edelman is a gem. The book will collect two original novelettes: “Only Humans Can Lie” and “Faking It Until Forever Comes.”
Since I’ve been holding onto this announcement for a while, this also means I’ve been working on this book for a while, and so it’s nearly finished. Yes, if everything goes well, expect a mid- to late-August release date!
More information coming soon!
