Big Thanks to you Bloodsuckers!
There’ll be more adventures of everyone’s favorite vampire PI, the renowned (some say, notorious), Felix Gomez. In the last year, membership subscriptions for The HollowFang have shot through the roof of the editorial crypt. Felix has been a featured guest on the Barnes & Noble Book Club, got a plug on GalleyCat, and is swamped with friend requests on MySpace. He’s even been animated as a Lego vampire! (Check him out on YouTube.) His scribe, Mario Acevedo, was all over the country, to include Bouchercon, NorwesCon, Murder & Mayhem, BuboniCon, MileHiCon, ThrillerFest, Naropa University, Cal State LA, and Charleston, SC. Catch Mario on Facebook and the Biting-Edge blog. Treat your ears! Felix Gomez is available on Audible.com See the Greatest Book Trailer of all Time. What’s in store for 2009 and beyond? More mayhem? Zombies? Werewolves? Get rid of those recession blues with the ultimate
item: Aliens Most Wanted THE UNDEAD KAMA SUTRA is out. And just in time for our recession, it’s now available as a more affordable massmarket paperback.
This story sees the return of a familiar nemesis: aliens. Felix is a vampire, so what’s with the aliens? Because it’s a big strange world. Felix has run into all sorts of criminal riff-raff. Rival undead bloodsuckers. Vampire hunters. And of course, our favorite kind of extraterrestrials: gangsters. The Felix Gomez series presents the supernatural and the weird and that has to include outer space. You just gotta believe. Retired Air Force Lt.Col. Llewellen Mentez is one convert. Mentez served as the chief project officer for the Department of Defense’s Unidentified Phenomenon Bureau. His job was to debunk all instances of ETE (extraterrestrial entity, i.e. alien) contact or UFO reports. “Considering the number of whack jobs out there,” Mentez said, “my job was easy.” Unfortunately, Mentez’s career in the Air Force was cut short after he was abducted while in Phoenix on vacation. “Serves me right, “ he went on, “as I should’ve gone to Tucson. Anyway, it was hard for me to deny that aliens existed after I’d been zapped and tagged by beings from Cthulhu Seven.” Following his discharge from active duty, Mentez and his wife Gloria started a business venture, The Alien Encounter, where he sought to replicate the experience of being abducted by ETEs. “At first, we were swamped,” he said. “I always knew Earth has had more visitations than what the government wanted to admit.” Despite their initial success, Mentez and Gloria were forced to close their doors. “What started as a wholesome educational experience, quickly deteriorated into something kinky and disgusting. Seems a lot of people were only interested in the probing. Damn perverts.” bastard. Though other acquaintances of Vissoom have not been so pointed in their criticism of the late porn mogul. “He did host some great parties,” said Detective Clarence Clarence of the San Fernando Anti-Vice Squad. “Piles of coke. Enough booze to float a yacht. And girls? Dozens of the freakiest porn stars. Or so I’ve heard.” Father Wilzberg O’Malley of the Topanga Rescue Mission added to those sentiments. “Cragnow (Vissoom) was an unrecognized philanthropist. I’ve never met a man so willing to share his many blessings, especially whiskey. In exchange, all he asked was for the opportunity to help any unfortunate young women who came to the mission. He wanted to make sure none of them fell into lives of immorality. And if they did, he could help them make lots of money.” Questions remain concerning the whereabouts of Vissoom’s body as the mysterious ash recovered from his Mulholland Drive home has been misplaced during the investigation by (continued on page 81) Happy Fanging! |
