Coming in Fall, 2009:
Our first title released through our Bizarro imprint, SQUID SALAD PRESS:
"Tim Waggoner is insane! It's like he drinks rocket fuel and shoots streams of fire from his fingertips. Extremely bizarre and magnificently entertaining." -Andersen Prunty, author of JACK AND MR. GRIN

Reviews for NOVELLO PUBLISHERS' books:
"The tales in TWO TWISTED NUTS form a disturbing duet, sung in piercing falsetto by a couple of seriously unstable gentlemen." --Lee Thomas, author of STAINED and THE DUST OF WONDERLAND
"A triumverate of hysterical, bizarre, riotous stories sure to blow your ass off the sh!*&er!" --Tom Piccirilli, author of THE MIDNIGHT ROAD and THE NIGHT CLASS
"Beyond over the top." --Peter Straub, author of IN THE NIGHT ROOM
Get ready to laugh, sweat, and gag simultaneously as Mark Justice brings you Night of the Living Dead by way of Lil' Abner and Green Acres. Suspenseful, witty, and unabashedly absurdist, Deadneck Hootenanny is just so much damned fun you might feel guilty while reading it, knowing how miserable the rest of the world is because it isn't reading it." --Gary A. Braunbeck, author of MR. HANDS and IN SILENT GRAVES
Heroes
Benny Hill, George A. Romero, Woody Allen, H.G. Lewis, David Lynch and too many others to list.

NOVELLO PUBLISHERS is named after AND dedicated to my late grandfather, Novello "Benny" Barracato, the funniest man I've ever known. He's also responsible for getting me into comedy AND horror (and hot sauce!) at a young age (he allowed my cousins, my brother and I to watch Benny Hill when we were 7 years old, and took us to see JAWS when I was in the 1st grade!). This shot is from his 40th wedding anniversary in 1976 . . . they don't make shirts (or grandfathers) like this anymore. Novello left earth in 1991 . . . but his spirit lives on . . .

XXY--1990--backstage before opening for the legendary JOHNNY THUNDERS at the REDSPOT, S.I., NY. The guy in the gorilla mask / bunny ears/ smoking jacket was the drummer of this twisted hardcore band, but now he runs a small press dedicated to humorous horror! The dude in the wig is vocalist Kaiser Ken (see his profile in our Top Friends area). Our bassist and guitarist were doing a "sound check" at the time this pic was taken.

About me: Established in 2005, NOVELLO PUBLISHERS is dedicated to the furtherance of humorous horror fiction. We also publish the critically acclaimed, old-school fanzine, THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW. After 18 issues published, we sold out and went webzine in the summer of 2008 (see banner below). SQUID SALAD PRESS is our bizarro imprint (see the SSP myspace in our friends area for more info) with our first title released in 2008, SKULL CATHEDRAL by Tim Waggoner.
Who I'd like to meet: DARK JESTERS now up for pre order at www.horror-mall.com
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Thanks for the add, been looking to make more writing contacts, as I have only been an open market for about a month but have been growing by leaps and bounds each week. Check us out at http://shadowpress.wordpress.com and if it something that looks to fits your interest, please check out the submission guidelines.
Sorry I didn't write sooner, the Dark Jesters cover looks awesome! I am so glad to have been part of such a fun project. Thanks for inviting me into your circle of friends. Lets work together again SOON!
"Some writers one admirers and others make one want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I'm grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a creature." - Thomas Ligotti
THEIR BACK AND THEIR HUNGRY!
