NEW From Nikolas P. Robinson
NEW From Nikolas P. Robinson
HAVE YOU SEEN ME? ORIGINAL POST Wed. 10:26 a.m. by Drew Stepek Here’s the situation. Nik Robinson released a new title today called HAVE YOU SEEN ME? (obviously based on my favorite Gwar song). He’s in FB jail for being dopey. So, he can’t promote the title anywhere but Twitter, Vine, Ello, Parler, and MySpace. Nik has done so much promotion for everyone else that it goes without saying that…

Now ya’ll know I hate reading---I prefer writing 100%---but I HAD to share this marvelous book series “Knuckle Supper”! Above is the cover of the first book. Knuckle Supper, written by Drew Stepek, is a one of a kind vampire extravaganza! Here’s the summary to explain:
Los Angeles' drugs are run by the undead. When heroin-addicted vampire and gang leader, RJ, reluctantly takes in a twelve-year-old prostitute called Bait, humanity is introduced to his otherwise lifeless existence. An unforgiving, vicious and realistic horror story, Knuckle Supper explores chemical dependency, inner-city brutality, religion, molestation, abortion and the very nature of evil itself.
I ADORE this series! I’m only on the first book, but it has captured my mind and heart! You can listen to the book for free on youtube’s Chilling Tales for Dark Nights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxzJhsibde4&t=2s
Both Knuckle Supper and its sequel, Knuckle Balled, are available on Amazon too! I cannot stress enough how amazing this series is! I HIGHLY suggest you give it a listen! It’s a fantastic indie-horror novel! Plus Stepek supports the organization: “Children of the Night”----Children of the Night is a privately funded non-profit organization established in 1979 with the specific purpose of providing intervention in the lives of children.
Get your fix today, folks! You won’t be disappointed!! Support Drew Stepek today and get your copies!

Let's start of 2023 by trying out something new. Please only buy in the US. I don't know how smoothly this will go so... sorry to everyone else. 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧! https://godless.com/products/call-me-hoop-season-one-signed-print _______________ CALL ME HOOP The Devil Knows Your Name. Learn his. Earth has become a playground for the "Big Man Downstairs" to shell out punishment to the most disgusting and vile scumbags of our society. A racist cop, a murderous Karen, and a psychotic rapist are just three of the “touched by malevolence" targets on the devil’s personal damnation list.   Call Me Hoop is a totally unique form of horror narrative where eight different authors bring you twelve entwined stories that will change everything you know about heaven… and hell!    Always one step ahead of you, when Sonny Hooper asks you to call him Hoop, the trap is already set. Be prepared to pay for your sins.   Call Me Hoop features the unpublished finale "The Diner" by Drew Stepek.

𝗜𝗡 𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗨𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘! In Uterus is a charitable anthology for Corrina Morse, book reviewer extraordinaire and darling of the horror, splatterpunk, and bizarro communities. It has been produced to help cover her costs during recovery and recuperation from an urgently needed hysterectomy. Initially, the team contacted the great and good of literary society, but they weren’t at home. Neither were the up-and-coming bright young things. In desperation, they finally reached out to the n’er-do-wells: the writers who lurk in the dark corners, the ones who brush past you in street muttering barely-intelligible curses, the faceless ghosts who rub up against you on crowded public transport, leaving mysterious dirty marks on your clothes. These stories will make you scream, weep, puke, laugh, shit, and even touch yourself in a bad way, hopefully all at once. They are the soothing ointment you’ll relish after the mad gynecologist with the rusty scissors has done his most dastardly thing!

Rather than face certain jail time, he pays Busk back by becoming a security guard in the mysterious basement labs of the Globoshame HQ.
