Second Editions and New Novella w/Andre Duza announced

 

SECOND EDITIONS:

My 2015 novella, THE BLASPHEMOUS SISTERS OF SAINT APOLLONIA, has just been released in this 'purdy second edition. The story was originally published back in 2014 as part of a 6-chapbook "nunsploitation" series from Dynatox Ministries (which sold out almost immediately), and then it's first official edition was in the collection THE ATROCITY VENDOR in 2015 from Grindhouse Press. You can still get the e-book edition of THE ATROCITY VENDOR via Amazon, but the print version is long out of print. Hence, you can now own this story in this slick trade paperback second edition, featuring killer cover art by Witch Crusher (you can find him on Instagram). You can get a copy for your favorite Sunday school teacher right here: THE BLASPHEMOUS SISTERS OF SAINT APOLLONIA

My most well-known novella, THE LAST PORNO THEATER, has only been available as an e-book for a while now, but a second print edition has just been released, and the publishers of the first 2013 edition, Grindhouse Press, have graciously allowed me to use Matthew Revert's cover art once again.  Grab your copy right here: THE LAST PORNO THEATER second edition

My 2009 debut novel, DON OF THE DEAD, has been out of print in any format for close to 10 years. A second edition is now available, featuring fantastic new cover art by the great Matthew Revert. It has gangsters. It has ghouls. It has tons and tons of calamari. This bizarro-horror-comedy even has senior citizen Sicilian hitmen tickling people to death and zombified dogs guzzling anti-freeze. What more do you need?

THE APOCALYPSE OF PETER, my first bizarro novella from 2012, also long out of print, is back for a second edition. Original Publisher Damnation Books is long out of business, as is Calburn Press, who took over for about a year when Damnation went under. Author Eric S. Brown said about this story, "The author is either a genius, or utterly insane." You be the judge RIGHT HERE...

NEW NOVELLA ANNOUNCED:

AT MIDNIGHT WE POSSESS THE DAMNED

by Nick Cato and Andre Duza

Dead Sky Publishing officially announced the book's release on June 24th. It will be available 1/14/25 and the cover design by artist Ken Miller will be revealed shortly.

AT MIDNIGHT WE POSSESS THE DAMNED is our take on the snuff film legend, the horror fan's desire to see the darkest things imaginable captured on celluloid. Our protagonist Gary is thrown through the ringer and back, and we're hoping horror fans will not only identify with him, but come out the other end as thrilled with this concept as we are.

One grew up in the grindhouses of Times Square

One was raised in the grindhouses of Philly

Together they bring you a savage tale of cinematic insanity...

AT MIDNIGHT WE POSSESS THE DAMNED

Picking Things Right Back Up ...

 

... from where I left off back in early 2021, when I left the Internet for what has turned out to be 3 years and 3 months. And during that time:

-I was married on Halloween, 2022, right in front of Belvedere Castle in Central Park, NYC. My wife Shannon and I exchanged vows using quotes from Neil Gaiman, Gary Numan, Frank Sinatra, and of course, our own. It was an amazing, sunny day for two horror writers decked out in black to get hitched on

-Went through a grueling editing process on a soon to be released, co-authored novella

-Saw Tina Romero (star of ALUCARDA) Udo Kier (ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA) Richard Kelly (director of DONNIE DARKO) and Jackie Kong (director of BLOOD DINER) at various screenings in NYC

-Despite being a dog person, became the stepdad of two cats

-Continued to see midnight movies and concerts (am now among the people I use to say: "Oh crap, look at that old guy in the pit!")

-Sold my second novel, with a third nearing completion

-Am almost 20,000 words into my third non-fiction film book (my second will be released later in 2024)

-Checked out Substack and other blogging platforms, but decided to return to Blogger

AND with this old-school blog, I'll be talking about my upcoming projects, will be posting film and book reviews and the usual stuff people did on blogs back in 2007 when I originally started this one, which unfortunately Google deleted and are making me start over from scratch. 

I'll also be attempting to do a (hopefully) quarterly "blog version" of my old school fanzine STINK (which I published from 1981-1991, with a couple of attempts to restart it over the years). But, alas, it's just not feasible trying to do this today as physical media, as STINK was a crudely printed (via Xerox) fanzine featuring my film, concert, and book/zine reviews. We'll see how it goes digitally.

LOTS of new book info on the horizon, including cover reveals and news on my wife Shannon's soon-to-be-released, genre-defying fourth novel, ANTICHRIST SUPERTASTER.

Onward ...
