From Candlemark & Gleam, the hardest working publisher in America!


After much delay (no, seriously, the author actually sent in rewrites already), we’re very excited to announce a new acquisition: City of Devils by Justin Robinson (author of Mr Blank).

World War II was only the beginning. When the Night War ravages America, turning it into a country of monsters, humans become a downtrodden minority. Nick Moss is the only human private eye in town, and he’s on the trail of a missing city councilor. With monsters trying to turn him – or, better yet, simply kill him – he’s got to watch his back while trying to find his man. Or mummy, as the case may be.

Once, it was the City of Angels. But now, Los Angeles is the City of Devils…and Nick has a devil of a job to do.

Justin talks about the novel a little in this podcast.

Look for City of Devils this fall!

Hey there, creatures! The kickstarter for my new novel CITY OF DEVILS is up and ready for contributions. What's CITY OF DEVILS? Great question, voice in my head! It's a mashup of noir and creature features. If you've ever read a Raymond Chandler novel and thought to yourself, "this could really use a crawling eye," then CITY OF DEVILS is what you've been waiting for!

...but that doesn't mean my publisher and I are done giving you cool stuff. We have stretch goals, and lots of them! Check out the first one here:

Well, we burned through the first stretch goal, which means everyone (that's EVERYONE) who kicks in will get a copy of a short story set in the same world. Trust me. This is a good thing.

We have a brand new stretch goal! If we make it to $750, everyone is getting digital trading cards of 8 of the main monsters in the book! They're being drawn by this guy: www.artofernando.com

Doesn't that sound awesome? So kick in and get your hands on all of this cool stuff.

All of the potential stretch goals have been posted on the kickstarter! You get to hear about all the cool stuff we have in store.

And what the heck is a plush Escuerzo...?

I suppose it was inevitable that my love of noir would combine with my wife's collection of garden gnomes. Yeah. I wrote a noir short story about garden gnomes. What of it? http://bibliognome1.blogspot.com/2013...

For a limited time, my zombie noir UNDEAD ON ARRIVAL is free on Amazon. Check out a hardboiled detective yarn after the zombie apocalypse.

If you said yes to any of that, you want the book. And if you said no, you're a sad person and we probably shouldn't talk further.
