We’re excited to reveal the cover for “We Are All Crew” by Bill Landauer! Bill’s follows two fourteen-year-old runaways hell-bent on reaching who end up aboard the Tamzene, a mysterious riverboat that runs on alternative fuel. Piloted by the enigmatic Dr. Seabrook, the Tamzene travels the waterways of a bizarre, fun-house image of the US. This is a satire that questions the sanity of our basic principles, as Gulliver’s Travels did for eighteenth-century England.

Have you read the buzz surrounding the horror novel that's redefining the genre? Have you also discovered that same novel is Oddities KJB's flagship publication ANGEL OF THE UNDERGROUND, by David Andreas - author page?

"David Andreas's debut novella, Angel of the Underground, will remind many horror fans of Stephen King's first published novel, Carrie...Andreas's tight and tense horror tale is a spellbinding and clever debut. He also has more on his mind than merely a straightforward thriller. His smart, sympathetic and engaging teen heroine grapples with the Catholic faith that has sustained her for so many years but now seems to have abandoned her. Proving good things come in small packages (the novel is just 165 pages), Angel of the Underground is a tight and thoughtful thriller, and a stellar introduction to a fresh new voice."
--Shelf Awareness

"The grit in Angel is laudable--as is Andreas' determination to push our faces right up into some very uncomfortable domestic horrors."
--Rue Morgue Magazine

"Debuting author Andreas layers a sense of foreboding with spats of violence to create a sinister and atmospheric story that will appeal to horror fans."
--Booklist

"Horror fans will love David Andreas's Angel of the Underground. With an intelligent teen heroine and a thrilling story that twists the Catholic faith and the dark reality of human nature, this story is truly a masterpiece you won't be able to put down!"
--My Shelf

"Angel of the Underground by David Andreas is a fun romp through a derelict doll factory...It is character heavy with just the right amount of suspense and gore to make it a horror purists dream...It is perfect for a vacation from reality without being trite or overly complicated...I strongly recommend it."
--Signal Horizon

"David Andreas was a super-talented contributor to Fangoria during its glory gory days. His fiction debut bodes well for readers of unique and scary horror."
--Tony Timpone, former editor, Fangoria
