Out of the frying pan: Unreal Press invites you… into the inferno.

/lit/ legend and author of EGGPLANT Ogden Nesmer returns with his third novel; a bizarro genesis into war and the uncanny.

As the best arms dealer in the business, Gilly should be thriving in these worst of times. But he can’t relax: professional success only brings more confusion, his new boss is hiding something sinister, and the girl he admires won’t bother to remember his name.

Still, none of this compares to the mystery of what lurks under his floorboards. A menacing creature— or is it? Does it live? Undoubtedly it hungers, with an insatiable appetite for blood.

Soon the question of what Gilly will do with it takes a back seat to the worry of what it will do with Gilly…

From Unreal Press and the author of Eggplant and I Pray to the Hungry God comes this story of horror and adventure, perfect for fans of weird horror, sci-fi, and just plain good storytelling.

Cirsova Publishing is excited to announce that it will be publishing Adrian Cole’s Dream Lords saga in a collected edition for its 50^th Anniversary.

The Dream Lords represented Adrian Cole’s debut in his long and incredibly prolific career in science fiction and fantasy. The Dream Lords was originally published in single volume format through Zebra Books, with A Plague of Nightmares and Lord of Nightmares appearing in 1975 and the finale, Bane of Nightmares, released in 1976.

This new edition collects all three Dream Lords novels in omnibus for the first time, revised and with new foreword to the series.

Cirsova Publishing has been publishing Adrian Cole’s new Dream Lords in its flagship magazine since 2016, and this anniversary omnibus will precede Dream Lords: Legacy, a first-ever collection of this new material.
