"In Don Webb’s ""Weird Wild West,"" Henry James avenges his brother Jesse, Robert E. Howard’s serpent people are a modern gang, Satan flies a Zeppelin, and hobos liberate a zebra from a stolen train. Great weird fiction set in the west!“Don Webb can write straight tales or he can go out to the fringe, where the cutting edge hasn’t even cut yet, [where he] plays head-churning games and word games: [he’s] a full spectrum writer.” —Roger Zelazny"

We came up with this title for an anthology of ten stories from the pages of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine and then had to look up the definition of the word “wringer.”Seems a wringer (easily misspelled as “writer”) used to be an instrument of torture to squeeze stuff. Yup, that fit.So ten writers in ten stories put their characters through wringers in one form or another in these pages, and it turned out honestly, fantastic fun to read.And amazing how all the...

I hope the title of this book is not misleading. If you are expecting an entire volume of spinoffs from Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time, complete with consciousness-swapping across the aeons, cone-shaped scholarly beings compiling their archives while dinosaurs roam outside their cities and some nameless doom threatens them from below, this isn't it. I did indeed include a few stories of that sort, as such titles as Robert Guffey's "Toward a General Theory of Yithian Psychology" and Rob...

ulphouse Fiction Magazine specializes in strange and weird and head-shaking stories. But in among the strange stories lurk some really, really strange stories that seem to push limits no one else thought to push.So, we plucked those stories out and put them in these pages.Who could pass up the David H. Hendrickson story "The Short Life and Horny Times of a Teenage Mantis"? Or "The Men Without Heads Join a Health Club"?The ten stories in this unique volume prove that...

Like a caper novel as Philip K. Dick might have written it, Endless Honeymoon is a weird and wild run through the world of crime.Way back when, Robin Hood's turf for his deeds of derring-do was England. Nowadays, Willis and Virginia work the turf in Texas, righting wrongs by spotting society's nastiest creeps---the mean and bitter people who make everybody's lives worse. (A high-powered computer program allows them to identify these people easily.) Their mo...

A VELVET OF VAMPYRES: Tales of Horror, by Don Webb. It's a "murder" of crows and a "parliament" of owls. For bats, the genus is "velvet," and hence also for vampires. We like the older spelling, the one John Polidori gave us when he alerted the world to their presence. They’re here--dominating our dreams, our fears, our media. But what if they aren't boy-band-pretty with diamond sparkly skin? What if they're more dangerous because they’re Desire herself? What if they're behind deep erotic ...
