"Just like me to never have any money when the end of the world comes," thought Martin Fahy as he walked through the bitter, ceaseless rain. He laughed slightly and wondered what he was going to do now. Sure, he had been the one who always knew The End was coming soon, but he just couldn't convince anyone else. He wasn't a religious fanatic or anything and his predictions of the coming doom had nothing to do with apocalyptic visions or cultist beliefs. It was based largely on his continual observation of scientific predictions. And now, it all was happening. Fahy realized what he'd always said was his prime philosophy still was true: The only way out is through...

You've done it! You've finished your novel (or memoir, or how-to, or poetry collection, etc.). Sit back. Breathe a sigh, take a drink, light a cigar. You've done it! Now what? Usually, an author is so exhilarated by finishing a book that he or she doesn't really think about what's next. Sure, there are those dreams of every publisher knocking at your door, starting a bidding war for your manuscript and your book becoming a best-seller over night. And that can happen. It does occasionally, but more often the hard work still is to come. This book is not for those authors who get an agent who gets them editors who convince their publishers to publish their books. This book is for those intrepid souls who decide the only way to maintain control over their books - and/or to make more money per book than with a traditional publisher - is to self-publish.

It has taken me 37 years to write this biography of author Robert W. Chambers.Along the way, I wrote and published many articles about him, but did not complete the biography until 2014.I got the idea of writing it when I was 15, and the reason I got the idea is the same reason it has taken so long to write the book. There simply is not that much information about Chambers out there.Despite his fame and thorough integration in New York high society, very little was written about him during his lifetime.This volume contains the Expanded Edition of the biography, Robert W. Chambers: Maker of Moons, as well as the collection of articles, originally titled, Robert W. Chambers: In Search of the Unknown Author of The King in Yellow.

The Hitchhiker in Time columns were the single most popular things ever written by Shawn M. Tomlinson, which honestly doesn't say all that much. All together, they appeared in fewer than 10 newspapers between 1988 and 2001. Well, multiple copies of those newspapers, of course. The highest circulation was approximately 40,000, so not exactly Bob Greene levels. Still, Tomlinson had a following with these columns and to a great extent, they hold up well today. Either that or Tomlinson would like to think so. Many of these columns appeared in chapbooks over the years, but this is the first full collection of them to be in print.

Tales of horror fiction with wit and humor. Well, a bit. That sums up the stories in this collection by Shawn M. Tomlinson. They were inspired by the usual suspects: H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard and, of course, Robert W. Chambers. This collection includes all the tales from In the Wake of the King and In the Shadow of the King, plus a couple of bonuses. If it is in the autumn when you read them, so much the better.
