LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL, HOSTED BY AUTHOR, MICHAEL F. HOUSEL

Join author Michael F. Housel for a spooky, free-of-charge evening of chills at the Nightmare Inn (aka Home Base Cinema) on Franklin St., in Trenton, NJ, at 6:30 pm, October 7. 

For this special event, Housel will host Cameron and Colin Cairnes' acclaimed fright-fest, Late Night with the Devil, which commences at 7:30, projected on an illustrious 7' screen. (If you haven't seen Late Night with the Devil, you're in for a macabre treat; and if you've seen it, you know full well that it's worth another view.) 

A Q & A with Housel will be conducted prior to the movie. After the feature, the author will sign copies of his books and periodicals (again F.O.C.), which visitors are encouraged to bring. (A select number of titles will be available for purchase in the front alcove, at standard, cover prices.)

This historic teaming of the enigmatic Housel and Late Night with the Devil is certain to conjure a horde of pre-Halloween spirits. Visit if you dare!

(Please note: Seating is limited, so please email Donna by October 6 at bizarrechats@gmail.com to ensure your spot.)

SUMMER READING (AND LISTENING) BY YOURS TRULY, MICHAEL HOUSEL

It's time for me to toot my own horn with warm-weather, reading recommendations by, well, none other than yours truly. 

My most recent, fictional published product can be found in "Ravenwood, Stepson of Mystery Vol 4", with a weird tale entitled, "Kincaid's House of Altered Cats". The edition's accompanying stories are by Dewayne Dowers, Michael Black and Lance Stahlberg. All works are certain to enthrall to the utmost degree.  

To add to the anthology's haunting splendor, Vol. 4 contains inspiring illustrations by Ed Catto and an enchanting cover by Adam Shaw. 

The paperback and Kindle editions await at

In addition, "The Persona: Green-Fleshed Fiends" is still in circulation and anxious for more reads. (It would certainly make a swell gift for friends and family.) My novel covers the further exploits of Michael Mansford, aka the Persona, who avenges wrongs upon donning a magical mask. 

"Green-Fleshed Fiends" includes intricate illustrations by Kevin Broden and a delightful cover by Chris Rawding. 

Paperback and Kindle versions beckon at

ROCK BAKER'S CARTOON CUTIES: THE SHORT STORY COLLECTION VOL #1

As most know, I think the world of Rock Baker's Cartoon Cuties. His illustrated panels are an absolute joy to absorb.

Now, Baker offers a specialized volume (a walloping 258 pages, no less!) through InDellible Comics, spotlighting short stories based on his endearing characters. In Cartoon Cuties: the Short Story Collection Vol 1, Baker covers his Annies' intriguing hows and whys, focusing on their lives and loves in scenic Creek Bend. The illustrated yarns are woven with tender care and include pin-up sexiness and a hardy chock full of cheer. 

Baker's eloquent prose create an engaging atmosphere, allowing him to celebrate such burgeoning legends as Crissy Carrots, Daisy Poise and Minerva Mallen. The lovable Roger Ralphwitt is also on hand, as one can see from Baker's front and back cover images, pigmented by the skillful Rusty Gilligan.

Baker gave me the honor of writing the volume's foreword, in which I exalt the virtues of his cutie-fied wonders. To say the least, I'm proud to be part of this acclaimed artist's enriching endeavor.
