Roberto to the Dark Tower Came Official Book Trailer Reveal
Tom Epperson’s powerful new novel, Roberto to the Dark Tower Came, is a breathtaking account of a South American journalist who’s been given ten days to leave the country under the threat of death, his stubborn pursuit of a story he’s willing to die for, and the horrifying and exhilarating events he encounters along the way. What better day for the official book trailer reveal than May 3rd: WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY.
“Every five days, on average, somewhere in the world, a journalist is murdered for being a journalist. Nine out of ten times, no one is prosecuted, creating an atmosphere of impunity that extends beyond death threats or violence. . . . Today, journalism is one of the most dangerous professions anywhere.” —October 30, 2017 Leon Willems, Director of Free Press Unlimited.
We hope you enjoy this stunning book trailer, filmed in the jungles of South America by film director Carlos Gaviria, and featuring Iván Lopez, who plays Roberto, and Estefania Pineres, who plays Lina. Don’t miss this important new novel by Tom Epperson!
Roberto to the Dark Tower Came
Roberto, a young left-wing South American journalist, receives an ominous phone call: leave the country in ten days, or die. Roberto is being targeted because of a series of articles he’s written exposing government corruption and violence at the highest levels. Roberto believes the voice on the other end of the phone and has every intention of leaving, as soon as he follows a lead on a major story developing in the jungle: thousands of innocent lives are at stake. The book follows him on his perilous journey into the heart of darkness in pursuit of his story. Unknowingly, Roberto is headed toward a confrontation with an evil darker than he could possibly have imagined.

ARIADNE, I LOVE YOU
J. Ashley-Smith
Jude is dragged out of Alt Country obscurity, out of the dismal loop of booze and sadness baths and the boundless, insatiable loneliness, to scrub up and fly to Australia for a last, desperate comeback tour. Hardly worth getting out of bed for—and he wouldn’t, if it weren’t for Coreen.
But Coreen is dead. And, worse than that, she’s married. Jude’s swan-song tour becomes instead a terminal descent, into the sordid past, into the meaning hidden in forgotten songs, into Coreen’s madness diary, there to waken something far worse than her ghost.

2021 Summer Scares Reading List: The Cipher by Kathe Koja & More
In celebration of National Library Lover’s Day, the Horror Writers Association (HWA), in partnership with United for Libraries, Book Riot, and Booklist, announced their third annual Summer Scares Reading List, which includes titles selected by a panel of authors and librarians and is designed to promote horror as a great reading option for all ages, during any time of the year. This year Kathe Koja’s classic Bram Stoker Award winning THE CIPHER is on the list in the adult category!
The Cipher
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award and Locus Awards, finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award, and named one of io9.com's "Top 10 Debut Science Fiction Novels That Took the World By Storm." With a new afterword by Maryse Meijer, author of Heartbreaker and Rag.
"Black. Pure black and the sense of pulsation, especially when you look at it too closely, the sense of something not living but alive." When a strange hole materializes in a storage room, would-be poet Nicholas and his feral lover Nakota allow their curiosity to lead them into the depths of terror. "Wouldn't it be wild to go down there?" says Nakota. Nicholas says, "We're not." But no one is in control, and their experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation for everyone who gets too close to the Funhole.
