Sisters In Slaughter

Now available! The sequel to "Rise of the Forgotten God"

From the back cover:

In the far east, a woman kills three men with her bare hands.
In Tetidalia, a traveling justice comes to a small town seeking to save a long lost comrade.
At the far north end of the world, a single sister calls an ancient evil from the ice with blood, with slaughter.
And in a tower cloaked in ice, another sister waits for the release she knows is only days away.

Sisters in Slaughter is the second book in E.S. Wynn's Deyacadem Cycle and the sequel to Rise of the Forgotten God.

Tales of the Undead: Undead in Pictures

Edited by E.S. Wynn

From The Back Cover:
First off I would like to thank all the people who have shown support for my artwork - Nathan J.D.L. Rowark at Horrified Press - and to all the fantastic writers out there (like the ones contained within). Without them, this book would not have been possible. Also, a big thank you to the most important people in my life. They've had to put up with so much over the years - my beautiful wife Amanda and my beautiful children, Hayley and Steven. Without them, God knows where I'd be.
Art has always been a major part of my life - from watching Star Wars as a youngster to my admiration for classic heavy metal album covers.
I hope you enjoy the stories and the art pieces in this book as much as I enjoyed painting them.
All the best
Stephen Cooney

Axes Of Evil Review

This is an incredible collection. This is 576 pages of bad-ass, gore-soaked heavy metal thunder! I recognized only a few of the names in the table of contents, but every story in this book captures the true essence of metal, of rock and roll, and all of them kept me riveted (always impressive, as far as anthologies are concerned.) Like a killer album, every "track" in Axes of Evil is a single, all strong and well-performed, but here are some of my favorites:

"Battle of the Bands" by Joel Kaplan is an intense vision of a vicious future that makes violently playful dystopian sci-fi like “The Running Man” look like kiddie fare. Think Smash TV with guitar-blades that sound best when stabbing human flesh (and other equally creative, destructive gadgets used to flay grateful fans and the members of other bands alike)

"The Plaster Casters Rise Again" by Charie D. La Marr is a funny, wild, and totally raunchy tale that features a bad ass (and very well endowed) viking rocker named Thor. If you know anything about Cynthia Plaster Caster, you can imagine how this story begins, and it just gets more interesting from there.

Lindsey Beth Goddard's "All The Rage" mixes Lovecraft-style elder-god madness with heavy metal to create a soul-devouring tale of brain-melting music and audience massacre without anyone even touching a blade. Great lines in this one.

"Frygga: Dreams of Fire" by Christine Morgan is as elegant as hell and twice as poetic. I love this piece, and not just because I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Norse mythology. The tale is gripping, powerful and very intriguingly told.

"Before The Ball" by Ray Van Horn, Jr. takes the 80's monster movie concept in a thrilling direction. I love the way this piece is constructed, steeped in the vibe and paraphernalia of the period and saving the big, creepy reveal for a spot near the end. Rock on!
