No takers for free books? Really? Okay, moving on then...

Despanan · 01-01-2012, 05:30 PM

Actually, I will totally go for that. I'm just in the middle of a 13 hour car trip, checking Gnet sporadically on my phone @ rest stops.

The free trade paperback is supercool of you. How about I check out your selection and pm you about it tomorrow?

Chris_Morey · 01-01-2012, 05:52 PM

Sounds good. We have some reader copies of Nightingale Songs. I know you liked that cover

Wow, now I feel like a bitch. Way too cool of you Chris Morey.I think I'm going to actually look at your books now....

Despanan · 01-02-2012, 10:22 AM

Chris_Morey is a classy guy.

Looking thru what you've got, I think I'll go for the reader copy of "Nightingale Songs" actually, as that's the first cover I've unabashadly enjoyed. Plus check out the author:

Motherfucker's HARD. Got a look on his face like "Yeah, I'm in Toronto, but you probably thought it was New York. Now excuse me while I drink some Starbucks like I don't give a SHIT."

Unfortunately I can't PM you (You don't have enough posts) so I sent an email to the address on your website with my work address, that way if instead of the book you send me a box of spiders (don't send me a box of spiders) I can just pour them on my co-workers.

I look forward to us making Internet History, You and I, as the first time someone Trolled a book out of someone else.

Stay Classy Chris_Morey

Chris_Morey · 01-03-2012, 11:13 AM

Your trolling skills are quite adept, so you really deserve some kind of reward. We shipped out the book today, I'll be surprised if you don't have it by the end of the week, early next week at the latest.

*Tiny Tim voice* God bless us, everyone.

Chris_Morey · 01-03-2012, 05:37 PM

There's still a couple free books left for folks on this forum. Would you like one, Tiny Tim?

Well if your still offering, "Hard Boiled Vampire Killers" looked as if it may be a good read.

Chris_Morey · 01-04-2012, 12:17 AM

Why not. I'll go for Nightingale Songs as well, if I may - I liked that cover too. Not to mention, that author is looking the camera like he knows it's lying to him and it gets ONE CHANCE to apologise before blades shoot from his sleeves and everything turns the colour of pain.

Phantom Navigation by Robert Frazier will be available on Tuesday, January 10th! The book will already be in stock and shipping upon launch:

Click here to read more about Phantom Navigation

23 chromosomes from one parent, 23 from the other. 46 inescapable parts to a recipe. In Robert Frazier's case, his father was a cryptographer at Bletchley Park during WWII, and his mother was a landscape painter who studied with Emile Albert Gruppé. Thus the mystical science of deciphering gibberish into plain text meshes with a penchant for impressionistic imagery in Phantom Navigation. Within his first poetry collection in ten years, Frazier maps half-a-hundred works collected from a long career in publishing. Join the 3-time Rhysling-award-winner as he explores the intersection of science and art with a vengeance.

"As honest as wheat, as spectacular and absorbing as a dream, Phantom Navigation is an explosion of creativity from one of America's finest poets. Robert Frazier's breadth of vision is extraordinary."
- Lucius Shepard, author of The Dragon Griaule

"A little Ginsberg, a little Eliot, a little Coleridge, and a lot of storytelling in the sfinal way, yet it is poetry, pure poetry, down to its pretty little ionized toes. How can anyone who loves poetry and sf/fantasy resist this new
collection by the master himself. That's it! Don't resist! Resistance is futile."
- Jane Yolen, author of Things to Say to a Dead Man

"Robert Frazier writes knowing, evocative, poignant, and allusive poetry. His images and metaphors, in addition to startling with their aptness, create clear pictures of alien situations and phenomena, a remarkable skill. Further, this book showcases Frazier's talents in nearly fifty disciplined individual performances."
- Michael Bishop, author of The Door Gunner, and Other Perilous Flights of Fancy

Man, all I need to do now is leverage my ability to be a dick on the Internet into Cold Hard Cash.

Nothing yet on the book front...though our mailroom is really slow. I'm heading over there during the break to see if they're sitting on it instead of delivering the damn thing.

If it's a bomb I'm calling Homeland security on your ass.

CuckooTuli · 01-09-2012, 10:02 AM

To be fair, if it's a bomb, I'd consider yourself out-trolled.

Despanan · 01-09-2012, 10:40 AM

Only if I don't come back to haunt Chris_Morey.

Man, that would be awesome. I'd spend eternity floating around the Dark regions office whispering "Eeeyyyyefail" in the editor's ears and making small areas slightly colder.

sometimes I'd even move coffee cups from one desk to the other.

CuckooTuli · 01-10-2012, 03:50 AM

Hehe... Phantom Brenton.

(Yes, I am easily amused.)

Chris_Morey · 01-10-2012, 10:17 AM

Phantom Navigation by Robert Frazier is now available on the DarkRegions.com website: http://www.darkregions.com/phantom-n...obert-frazier/

Despanan · 01-10-2012, 03:55 PM

So Chris_Morey, is the navigation system in question powered BY a phantom, or is the navigator himself a phantom?

OR is it something else entirely: Is it navigation OF a phantom BY a phantom, using phantoms as some sort of phantomic power-source, with the goal of reaching another phantom?

Perhapse it's just an obtusely titled gay porn featuring the Phantom?

Man is a brick shit house in a purple spandex. I'm sure Kontan would like to navigate the shit out of that.

Dude, you just blew my mind.

Chris_Morey · 01-11-2012, 12:14 PM

Desp, it's actually a poetry collection from one of the most celebrated sci-fi poets in the country.

Your books should be arriving soon, folks. Let me know when you get them!

Despanan · 01-14-2012, 01:31 PM

So where do the Phantoms and their navigation kick in? Are any of the poems about palace-dwelling lawn-flamingos?

[Ron Paul] I don't understaaand! Chris_Morey. Why are we having these books? It doesn't make sense![/Ron Paul]

As for the books, I absolutely will. Nothing so far. Can you email me the address I sent you? I want to be sure I didn't make a mistake.

The Dark Side of Heaven by Gord Rollo, a new novella will be available on Tuesday, January 24th on the DarkRegions.com website in a 125 Signed and Numbered Trade Paperback edition!

Click here to read more about The Dark Side of Heaven

War can do terrible things to the hearts and minds of even the best of men, but for U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Tyrone Banks the senseless deaths and unnecessary violence in Vietnam have beaten him down and smothered the compassion and good that was once inside of him. Grief stricken and suicidal; the extreme guilt over the awful things he’s done pushes the young Marine beyond his breaking point until death feels like his only remaining option.

Rather than eating a bullet, Tyrone volunteers for Tunnel Rat duty hoping to finally find release but instead of his carefully planned honorable death, what the Marine finds down in the dark is a backdoor to Purgatory, a secret entrance into the afterlife where he’ll get one last chance to right all the terrible wrongs that constantly haunt him. It won’t be easy, though. Nothing worthwhile ever is. If Tyrone thought the things lurking in the jungle of Vietnam were bad, what’s waiting for him on the dark side of Heaven is worse.

Much, much worse…

"With THE DARK SIDE OF HEAVEN Rollo turns his considerable talents toward military horror and the result is as unique as it is impressive. Like nothing fans have read from him before, Rollo weaves a chilling tale of a young Marine straddling the thin line between horror and fantasy, damnation and redemption, and ultimately, life and death. Highly recommended for fans of both horror and dark fantasy."
- Jimmy Z. Johnston (http://www.Horror-Web.com)

"Rollo is the best new horror writer I have come across in years. if he continues to horrify us with his brutal and amazing tales of the macabre, then I believe we have a new master of horror on the rise."
- The Horror Review
