Blurb:
The fate of the Cosmos rests in the hands of an unlikely team of unusual friends. Will an exiled member of an ancient extraterrestrial race, a human ghost, and two ghouls be able to outfox an ancient evil and beat Nyarlathotep at his game before time runs out? This buddy story is the first in a series of New Cthulhu Mythos cliffhangers.

Snippet:

Obscured by a poisonous haze on a world which had died when Earth was new, a tall, diaphanous male humanoid with long flaxen hair stood beside an alien being which towered over him despite his own impressive height. The creature had a conical body with a three-eyed head on a stalk. The spirit expressed concern for his companion’s well-being in the planet’s toxic atmosphere.

“Yitzy, I suggest that we leave this unwholesome world,” the youthful man insisted. “Although you are evidently a fearless and adaptable sort of creature whose zeal for the sciences is either commendable or insane, surely even an enormous and rubbery snail-footed monstrosity such as yourself will wind up dead if you breathe the chemical soup of this damned hellhole for long enough. I cannot put too fine a point on it. I demand that we make our exit forthwith.”

“Very good, Ketil, I concur with your assessment, although I could easily remain in this place and suffer no ill effects,” the creature replied telepathically. “You see, I have no lungs as the living among your kind do; my form adapts to whatever gases are present in the atmosphere. However, I am curious to follow a portal that I have discovered under the altar in the Hall of Nyarlathotep.”

However...

Hold onto your hats...

And your seats...

And your socks...

Because I've got an offer that no lover of weird fiction with that special snarky bite of horseradish delivered by a sharp-tongued Swedish spectre could possibly refuse.

If you sign up for the Naughty Netherworld Newsletter by July 15, you will receive one whole and complete ARC of this book.

https://bit.ly/NaughtyNetherworldNews2

If you're already a subscriber, you don't need to do anything else. Your ARC will arrive in a tidy Tiny Letter on July 15th. You can spread the word if you'd like to help a deranged scribe gain a few readers should you wish to earn some extra Angel Author Karma Points. Keep in mind that I'm not responsible for dispensing Karma Points. If yours are not delivered in a timely fashion, you will have to take it up with St. Peter.


But wait, I'm not done yet. 

Coming in August, subscribers will be treated to an ARC of the forthcoming second book in the Tales from the Dreamlands series.


What's the catch?

There isn't one. I'd love it if you'd leave an honest 3-star or better review for the books on Amazon, but you're under no obligation to do so. I'm not going to check to see if you did your homework. The ARCs are yours to keep either way, but you can't get 'em unless you subscribe!

Before I wrap things up, here's a little tip for leaving reviews of books you haven't purchased on Amazon.

Begin your review with this sentence.

"I received an advance review copy of this book."

This should keep your review from being removed.

Many thanks!

I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I have ADHD and anxiety and sometimes I need to work myself up to be able to respond to comments. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops. I share your work on the monthly Roost Recommendations posts at ornerybookemporium.blogspot.com so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
Sorry, the Captcha is back and this time it's staying. I was inundated with spam comments when I turned it off. I wish butt rash on all the spammers out there.
