Paperback zombies! (Paperback zombies!)
Dear sir or madam, will you read this book?
It took me a week to finish, will you take a look?
It’s a zombie novel by one Alan Goldsher,
It stars The Beatles and he does a good job for a non-horror writer …
Non-horror writer!
It’s the bloody story of a zombie band,
And a zombie plague nobody understands…
Led by John Lennon, they want to raise Hell,
With a steady supply of fresh brains loaded into their concert rider …
Their concert rider!

Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Skunkape. Whatever you call him, this cryptozoological American legend has entertained and befuddled us for generations. From grainy Zapruder-like film to family fare such as HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS, the Bigfoot is an ingrained part of our culture. And, now, we’re gonna tell the other side of his story: the further adventures of Bigfoot!
Conceived in a fever pitch on HorrorHound Weekend, Louis Fowler, editor of DAMAGED 2.0 and Casey Criswell, editor of CINEMA FROMAGE, are teaming up with Rod Lott at BOOKGASM for MONDO SASQUATCH, to be published under the new BOOKGASM PRESENTS banner. And, as with any anthology worth it’s salt, we need quality writers wanting to tell their own version of the Sasquatch myth!

Ever wonder what THE FOUNTAINHEAD would have been like if it were written by Aleister Crowley? Of course you have. We all have! But where would one even start to find a book like that?
Let’s all take a collective breath and pick up a copy of THE ARCHITECT, a highly entertaining one-shot, prestige-format graphic novel written by comics legend Mike Baron (NEXUS) with art by Andie Tong.

I’m kind of a pussy. Well, at least when it comes to metal, I’m kind of a pussy.
You see, when I think of metal, I think of Guns N’ Roses or Mötley Crüe or, God forbid, Poison. Melodic paeans to debauchery, wherein the songwriter’s idea of romance is pouring a fifth of Jack all over a groupie’s well-worn tits. It’s something I can fully identify with.
But, as I have learned from my numerous years in the music business, I am a total fucking pussy. True metal comes from bands with names like Grimorium Verum, Funerot and Faustcoven. And don’t forget Necrosadist! As a matter of fact, I have already prepped myself for the scads of metalheads with Google Alerts based around their fave bands, commenting on autopilot with things like “YoU Thimnk POISoN is Metal??..RoTTTING CHRIST for LIFE< FAGIT!!!”

WWE has finally entered the four-color world of comic books, and not a smackdown too soon, I’d say. We here at BOOKGASM, even though I’m pretty sure most of us don’t even follow wrestling, seem to have a total fandom of any and all WWE literature. And we’re quite unapologetic for it. They tend to be fun, over-the-top tales that, if I had my way, would become this generation’s new mythology. Maybe I’ll bury a time capsule and stick BIG APPLE TAKEDOWN in there for future theologians to dissect. Possibly even worship.
This sense of balls-to-the-wall wackiness continues in WWE HEROES, the new comic series from Titan Publishing. The first page opens with two loincloth-clad warriors tussling in front of an active volcano with the the words “And on the third day, there was blood” floating above them. Yes!
