Man In Suit
Love Japanese giant monster movies? Ever wonder what it would be like to destroy Tokyo yourself? Or how dangerous it would be to be zipped into a 250-pound rubber suit and put into a massive tank while pyrotechnics go off and powerful lights hang above the water? Man in Suit reminds us that the people behind the monsters are all too human. There were two things that Sakura insisted on from the start: the first was that every shooting day be concluded by crossing an enormous red number off his enormous mobile whiteboard—which he had rolled out onto the soundstage—and the second was that the Kaijira Military March, which had originally been composed for the Japanese Imperial Army during WW...
Seed
She is on the road again, listening to an AM talk show as she drives along. Frodo hangs his head out the window, tongue dangling. She is feeling better. She passes a sign that reads: OPEN RANGE, NEXT 10 MILES. The topic of the radio program concerns human cloning and the problem of needing so many hosts to achieve a single successful embryo. As she drives along, listening, she passes a dead cow off to the side of the road. Through her rearview mirror, she watches it disappear behind her as the talk show continues: "I mean, where is this all going? Are we going to just keep birthing mutated babies until we finally see something we like? What of all the rejects? Do we just truck 'em to the bab...
Dead of Night No. 4: "The Mystery of the Mad Monolith"
Join horror author Bill Link (Skin Like Tanned Leather, Six Times the Terror) as he delves into Wayne Kyle Spitzer (Legends of the Flashback, Dark Horses Magazine) and Andy Kumpon's low-budget cult series with a brand-new tale. About the show from Black Vvideo: Dead of Night is a mid-90’s SOV action-horror series hailing from Spokane, WA. Created by two sci-fi/horror super fans (who at the time were coworkers doing overnight mall security), Wayne Spitzer and Andy Kumpon are Status and AK, enforcement officers for the mysterious Viktor Corporation. In their mission to monitor and protect their strange little town, they encounter interdimensional beings, lictors, basilisks, gelatinous spirit guides, flux cores, bad teenagers, badass women and mullet-bearing beefcakes. And they can shoot (and smoke) their way out of almost anything! Dead of Night was a late-night cable staple that captivated and inspired an entire generation of Washingtonians to look up at the night skies a bit longer and look over their shoulder a bit more often.
Thunder Road and Other Stories
From Thunder Road: I don’t know why we stared at that dead pterodactyl chick so long—there wasn’t anything particularly striking or even gross about it; there were no flies, for example, no maggots—just a couple of butterflies, one white and the other burnt orange, which matched the fading sunlight. Maybe it was our nonstop ride all the way from Biggs Junction near the Washington border to Multnomah Falls, which was closer to Portland (I mean, it’s a lot of work, peddling a BMX bicycle some 70-plus miles, even across level terrain). Or maybe it was how paper-thin the creature’s exsanguinous, oyster-white skin was, how almost translucent, or the way its little talons weren’t rea...
The Place
ABE: (looks around nervously) Swede…? He looks for SWEDEN again, and again sees only the tops of the bushes, roaring in the wind. A beat later there is another crack! Another splash! ABE whips around. He sees, a few feet out, what at first appears to be a human arm reaching up from a gurgling eddy—deaden spidery fingers groping. He focuses his eyes upon it: the pressure stops cold as we see it is merely a gnarled branch. ABE exhales. Then, as driftwood is proving scarce on the island, he breaks off some willow stems and tries to fish the branch closer. The current dislodges it as he looks on and it floats down stream, bobbing and turning on the waves. ABE watches it go; it looks rather l...
Seven Tales of Blood and Beauty
"Take the fatal shot," said Horseshoe. He must have laid down his rifle because I remember him helping to steady my own. "Easy now, you'll own this forever—" I stared the thing in the eye and squeezed the trigger. It threw back its head, rising up. It gasped for breath, spitting more blood. It barked at the sky. Then it fell, head thumping against the deck. Its serpentine neck slumped. The rest of its blood spread over the boards and rolled around our boots and flowed between the planks. I was the first to step forward, looking down at the thing through drifting smoke. Its remaining eye seemed to look right back. I got down on my knees to look closer. The thing exhaled, causing the breathi...
The Midnight Country
In retrospect, I wish I’d continued recording, for what I saw in that instant is difficult to describe, even now. Suffice it to say that it had a body like that of a manta ray—upon who’s tail the balloonist had been impaled—or a manta ray combined with a bat, albeit huge, and that it was covered with a kind of camouflage which reminded me of pictures I’d seen of Jupiter—just a roil of purples and pinks and browns. I suppose that was when it first hit me: the possibility that there might be a connection between this thing and the Jupiter 6 probe. That the probe might have brought something back, even if it had just been a sprinkling of microbes on its surface. And then there was a...
A Reign of Thunder (Second Edition)
Cooper "Coup" Black--yes, yes, just like the font--has a couple problems. Well, who doesn't? For one, his book deal has fallen through, leading him to do something, well, unfortunate. To his publisher. Two, he's picked up a hitchhiker--a hot, young (too young; as in half his age) available hitchhiker, whom he doesn't really know what to do with. And three, he's in the wrong place at the wrong time--as in a truck-stop on the Mexican border ... surrounded by shadowy predators. More, it soon becomes evident that something is at work to reverse time itself; something which makes people vanish--seemingly at random--and ancient trees to appear out of nowhere. Something against which Coup, Tess, an unravelling President of the United States, and others, will make their final stand.
72 Hours to Animal: A Tale of Survival
Before the Flashback ended in The War-torn Hills of Earth, there were other trials, other crucibles, other adventures not previously recorded. 72 Hours to Animal is one of these, in which a helicopter bearing a hodge-podge crew touches down on a Saveco wholesale warehouse in the middle of a snowstorm only to find themselves stalked by shadowy predators ... From 72 Hours to Animal: Zola aimed her flashlight, revealing a toppled fixture and designer frames scattered all over the floor, then whipped it left toward the photo center. “There’s a man door leading outside down there … do you think she might have—” “Shhh,” urged Redhorn. “Listen. Do hear that?” She listened, hearing...
Flashback (28th Anniversary Edition)
Roadkill ... A funny thing happened to Roger and Savanna Aldiss on the Interstate. They hit a dinosaur. But that's nothing compared to what awaits them down the road ... for something is at work to reverse time itself, something which makes the clouds boil, glowing with strange lights, and ancient trees to appear out of nowhere. Something against which Roger, Savanna, and a handful of others will make their final stand. From Flashback: The cop was just standing there, staring at the trees. And staring at the rex, too—though he clearly didn't know it. “My God,” Savanna pleaded. “You can't just let him be ripped to pieces …” Omar raised an eyebrow. “No?” He slid off the table a...
