Halloween is upon us, grab one of our books get a free audiobook
With a variety of projects going on at once, from new fiction, non-fiction, this blog and our videos have been slow. Slower than I would have liked.
While we get Meandering videos and articles edited and finished, I would like to share a bit about fiction my wife and I have written.
Spooky Season is upon us and these tales a ripe for this time of year. Our work is within the horror genre, with bits of Lovecraftian weird fiction, urban exploration & the paranormal.
All of our stories include places we have explored, paranormal investigations we have been a part of or conducted on our own, and are historical fiction in numerous ways.
Our first title, seen below, is no exception.
I have set up a page with our three fiction titles, “BUY OUR BOOKS” and you can click below on images and text links to visit our storefront.
Our first collection of short stories entitled The Friendly Horror & Other Weird Tales contains a novella, “The Friendly Horror,” is a contemporary post-script to HP Lovecraft’s “The Shadows over Innsmouth.” The entire collection is illustrated by Luke Spooner, from Cover to Internal images such as Silas below. There are 7 short stories and one novella within this collection
Our 2019 novella “Eldritch Tides,” is from an original Story Concept by Jason McKittrick
and was written by my wife Jessica Burke and myself, Anthony Burdge. It features, Cover and insert art by Brandon Zimmerman & Jason McKittrick. This story is set in New Jersey, as opposed to our first collection, The Friendly Horror being set in Staten Island NY. Our stories tend to be localized to places we live near, and places we have explored.
“Storms, and Nature as a whole, reveal over time what has long been buried and should have never been found.”
– Dr. Gilbert Halsey, Toms River Psychiatric Unit.
The unrelenting, destructive force that was Superstorm Sandy moved ashore near Seaside Heights, New Jersey early on October 29th, 2012. The winds, rain and rising sea levels laid waste to homes and infrastructure, forever changing the topography of affected areas.
A long forgotten artifact, churned up by the storm, washed ashore to be discovered by a fledgling cultist Jeremiah Allen. The knowledge revealed to him by the Elder Tablet Jeremiah followed in the footsteps of his ancestors as he pursued the dark magicks contained therein. After his evaluation of Jeremiah seven years later, the attending psychiatrist at Toms River Psychiatric Unit, Dr. Gilbert Halsey contacted an old friend at Miskatonic University. When Dr. Nora Danforth heard, and saw the news, she agreed to travel to Tom’s River to investigate The Elder Tablet.
With little knowledge of what he was doing, Jeremiah uses the tablet to wake what can only be described as “…a hideous, luminous giant of viscous jet black protoplasmic mass, and iridescent eyes…”
We have one additional title, “Dark Tales from Elder Regions: New York,” within our new section “BUY OUR BOOKS”. This is an anthology of ghost stories from numerous authors, including us, that take place within the five boroughs of NYC. This collection is once again illustrated by Luke Spooner, each story has an illustration plus the cover.
The books are shipped directly from me, and go out within a day or two. They can be signed upon request.
