I've got a fuller update coming later this week, but this makes one of the things I was waiting to announce official! I am really jazzed to be participating in this anthology series. Check This Out (and keep an eye out for an episode of Nocturne Travel Agency Podcast where I sit down with James Palmer to discuss Mechanoid and the Monster Earth timeline!)
Monster Earth 2
Is Coming!
Atlanta,
GA—Mechanoid Press, a small imprint specializing in
science fiction, New Pulp and more, returns to the exciting world of their
popular giant monster anthology MONSTER EARTH with MONSTER EARTH 2.
Returning to the helm of this mammoth (pun
intended) undertaking are editors James Palmer (Mars McCoy: Space Ranger
Vol. 2) and Jim Beard (Captain Action and
the Riddle of the Glowing Men).
“This is going to take the monster action to a whole new
level,” explains Palmer. “I thing fans of the first book are really going to
love this one.”
MONSTER EARTH 2 will bring the action closer to the present
day, with the nations of the world experimenting with genetic manipulation of
the various beasties. Add a secret death cult trying to herald the end of days,
and you’ve got a volatile recipe for mayhem and destruction as only some of the
hottest writers in New Pulp can bring it.
Returning for this volume are Edward M. Erdelac (Mighty
Nanuq), Jeff McGinnis (The Beast’s Home) and Fraser Sherman (Peace
with Honor). Joining them will be Thomas Deja (How the West Was
Weird). Just as in the previous anthology, Beard and Palmer will also
contribute stories.
“Jim did a great job with the bible on this one,”
says Palmer. “Between that and all the readers who have asked about a sequel, I
knew we just had to do another book.”
MONSTER EARTH 2 is scheduled for either a late
December or early January release, and will appear in both Kindle and trade
paper formats.
