| The novella by Nickolaus Pacione (of Justice, Illinois,) and Barbara Marjanovic (Calgary, Alberta,) hits the cyber streets. |
Those of you who waited patiently for this novella to hit the streets. It's finally arrived and all I have to say is those of you who wanted this to happen it is finally here. The novella is 88 pages of intense horror, this is the fastest monster story I've written. There are a lot of brawls in this story too between the main character and the spiders in the story.
I waited since the finishing of this novella for this to happen and Barbara waited even more because this is her first sale as an author. Good luck trying to figure out which one is me and which one is her writing because our styles are so damned similar it isn't even funny, I know that Marjanovic is fearless as an author and she proves it here -- we were not going to flinch with this one and when I did the genesis of the series with House of Spiders, I had no idea it would spawn a prequel and a sequel. So we wanted to do a horror story that will steamroll the naysayers in a way we both know how to -- create a horror story so dark and violent that they can't help but do a double take.
Doing the creatures in House of Spiders 3 was going to be a daunting task because these were a new kind of spider -- they kill. Human became their new quarry, giving nods to every spider movie and spider story written with the in-jokes. Marjanovic added a comic timing to one of the characters and it was a play off a nursy rhyme -- it was a sick take on it but worked. It drove the story, but at the same time carrying the harder edge. It's a faster story, and the most frightening either of us came up with -- and with Meliah Rage blasting in the background I kept thinking how would I top this one already.
House of Spiders 3 is one novella many of the people who reviewed House Of Spiders said I needed to do a sequel to it -- I listened to them on this one. House of Spiders (the one preceeding the sequel) is available on AuthorsDen.com -- but you have to read all three stories to get the jist since there will be characters who appeared in Bite of the Spider in this one. Upon the release of this novella I started working on some new material and there will be a House of Spiders IV. If you're looking for your short fiction fix -- go to RAGE M a c h i ne MAGAZINE for your fix from me in there titled In The Eyes Of A Skull. This story is found within the pages of the fourth issue.
The short story was originally rejected from their anthology, but G.W. Thomas told me that it was good enough for the magazine so I gave him a call back in 2005 saying go for it. He took it off of FictionPress.com, and this will also feature two more authors from the FictionPress.com site too -- including a talented author named Alex Rivera. Check out Holy Man's Pathos on The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Three with one of his illustrations. But going back to the novella -- it was planned in 2005 upon coming back from Gothicfest 2005, and while writing The Storms Of Armageddon.
So with that being said I want to thank both Donna and G.W. for opening the floodgates for this author. Some knew I was going to take someone with me when I get published in a few places, that is something I am going to do once I get the third Tabloid Purposes off the ground too and right now the third one is currently nearing 600 pages!
