Paranoid Magical Thinking!

My second novel, the first in the Unknown Kadath Estates trilogy, is now available for sale at the Amazon store. This book is very different from my last - it's my take on the Japanese light novel, with illustrations by the total awesome Xi Lu. It combines elements of the Cthulhu mythos, noir story telling, an unreliable narrator, and a rather black sense of humor. I am very proud of it, and I hope that you will consider giving it a try. While it is quite a departure from anything in the current marketplace, I also think it came out quite good.

I should probably explain - a light novel is an Asian concept, basically novella length (72k words, in this case) written in a spare, dialogue heavy format, with illustrations to provide depth and appearance for the main characters. While a few Japanese light novels based on popular anime have been translated, thus far, no American author has taken a crack at the genre, to the best of my knowledge. I am very excited to try and bring what I enjoy about the form and apply to a novel that is Western it is appeal, approach, storytelling and characters. I hope that you enjoy it!
