The CyesolagniacAuthor: Lee, Edward |
|
|
Cyesolagniac: 1. One who experiences sexuoerotic arousal at the sight of a pregnant woman. 2. One with a fetish for pregnant women. Everything is going right for Heyton. Just hours away from closing the business deal of a lifetime, he’s about to become very rich and the envy of all his competitors. With night falling, he should be relaxing in his hotel room, getting some much needed rest before his big day. But Heyton has a compulsion, one that has him cruising the streets in the seedy section of town, desperately searching for the perfect woman to satisfy his sick needs. Like an angel, she appears. The face of a cheerleader and the swollen, gloriously gravid body of a Madonna, she’s willing to sell her body for his fulfillment. Everything is about to go very wrong for Heyton. In a fleabag hotel room, he will learn an important lesson . . . “People are never what they seem.” From Edward Lee comes a story of fetishism and depravity that only the master of extreme horror could tell. |

The Werewolf of ParisAuthor: Endore, Guy |
|
|
A grisly classic of the occult, originally published in 1933, and quite erotic and disturbing even today. In fact, The Werewolf of Paris can be read either as a memorable novel of the werewolf or a examination of a psychological delusion, clinical lycanthropy. Bertrand is the bastard son of a priest and a simple country girl. He is born on Christmas day with hairy palms and dark eyebrows meeting on the bridge of his nose, and he howls instead of cries. As Bertrand grows, he suffers from murderous dreams and his animal nature emerges when he visits a local brothel. Only his uncle, Galliez, suspects his true nature. The only edition currently in print, features a new introduction by Thomas Tessier (author of The Nightwalker), the complete text of the novel, numerous wood engravings, and a color gallery of old hardcover and paperback covers as well as film adaptation of The Werewolf of Paris. |

Clickers II: The Next WaveAuthor: Gonzalez, J. F. and Brian Keene |
|
|
The first wave was only the beginning . . . Since it’s publication in 1999, Clickers by J.F. Gonzalez and Mark Williams But now, it’s not even safe on land. Delirium Books is proud to present Clickers II: The Next Wave. J.F. Gonzalez has teamed with best-selling novelist Brian Keene for a second assault — this time on a national scale. The Clickers are back, wreaking havoc on a United States already demoralized and defenseless thanks to a category five hurricane and a president who rules through religious zealotry. Now, as the death toll climbs into the thousands, two survivors from the original invasion find themselves teamed up with a marine biologist and a mob hitman, and on the run from the Clickers, the Dark Ones, and their own government. And as their enemies close in on all sides, only one thing is certain — if they fail, humanity loses. Clickers II: The Next Wave . . . This time, the crabs eat you . . . Signed by Brian Keene on the title page. |

Black Ink Horror XXXEditor: Moran, Tom |
|
|
This special, full-color edition of Black Ink Horror is devoted to horror stories of the extreme variety. Sex and gore abound in this 50 page, highly collectible edition. Each of the five tales is accompanied by three illustrations. This one is not for the prudish or easily offended — we cut our artist loose on XXX, and they left nothing to the imagination. Note: Due to the sexually explicit nature of the cover of Black Ink Horror XXX I had to make a hard decision. I opted not to display the cover. I have tried to maintain a “PG” status in case children visit this website. And yet, the librarian and creative person in me screams “censorship!” What do you think? Is caution warranted or do I owe Tom a great big apology? Tell me what you think in the comments or use the Contact Me page. Table of Contributors:

And written on the palm of one hand is an address . . .
