Walking Wounded

THE GIFT Her hands can sense it within your body: the ticking time bomb of disease, the cry of inner hurt, the coming of something as simple as a cold. And her hands can heal it, if she chooses, or they can leave you with your pain-and your fate... THE OBSESSION Now Katt must make a choice, between curing a husband who had been unfaithful or letting him die, between taking his extraordinary lover for herself, or letting her go... THE TOUCH For Katt it will be a journey through discovery, sensuality, and death. But in the shadows of her life, at a restaurant and on the street, a serial killer has begun to stalk her and her lover. And he will take them both into a darkness where hands must heal, or hands must kill... WALKING WOUNDED The power to heal. The power to kill. The power to choose...*** From Publishers Weekly In his second erotic thriller, Devereaux (Deadweight) carves deep into the psyche of Katt, a disillusioned wife who must choose between using her miraculous powers to cure her terminally ill and cheating husband, or letting him die and taking his lover for herself. Caught in the middle of this wild love triangle is Conner, Katt's 13-year-old son, who has inherited his father's disease. A drill-wielding serial killer, introduced early, further complicates the plot and plays a vital role in the novel's climax. Beautiful and sensual one page, frighteningly repulsive and twisted the next, Walking Wounded is well-suited to an era of alternative lifestyles, New Age mysticism and senseless violence.*** 'Devereaux is horror's hottest new star.' -Fangoria 'Devereaux delivers, with a super-heated mix of murder, dark eroticism, and... online sex.' -Lucy Taylor, author of The Safety of Unknown Cities 'A rare treat... At the heart of all Devereaux's writing are the twin embryos of love and pain. In Walking Wounded he has explored their perverse dependency with an expert's tender touch. This book is both a challenge and a rare treat!' -Poppy Z. Brite, author of Exquisite Corpse

Zombie Mashup

Robert Devereaux

Product DescriptionSays Nickolas Cook, "Robert Devereaux's 'Zombie Mashup' is the best literary take on the concept of infinite possibilities I've ever had the pleasure to read. His skill in weaving and bobbing multiple parallel stories is stunning." Fresh from the pages of John Skipp's seminal anthology MONDO ZOMBIE, "Zombie Mashup" (aka "Holy Fast, Holy Feast") follows fate's twists and turns as Travis and Laura make their way across town to hear Swami Apadravya, their baby Jenny either dead or being babysat. Meanwhile, zombies do or don't plague the streets of Montreal. Will Travis and Laura make it to the auditorium? Is the swami still breathing or just barely containing his undead urges? Will they seduce the delectable Marcie or turn into her dinner? Perhaps Travis and Marcie are cheating on Laura, and perhaps not. In a tale chockful of sensual delights, contradictory events, and narrative gambits realized and then revoked, the only certainty is that oodles of love and mayhem wait around every corner.

Product Description"Visions far tastier than sugarplums dance in Santa's head tonight..." His generosity is legendary. He has a devoted wife, a crack team of sky-borne reindeer, hordes of industrious elves, and the love of good little boys and girls around the globe. But what dark desire now propels him into the lascivious clutches of a certain fairy? And who was he before sleigh and workshop, in times forgotten? She munches on molars, summons drowned sailors to her pleasure, and recalls, sharp as a pinprick, her life as the most savage of ash nymphs. Why then is she stuck, night after night, hovering above pillows to leave coins for gap-toothed brats? More important, how quickly can she captivate the jolly old elf to the north? He's huge, fluffy, lonesome, and unbearably horny. On his Easter rounds, he contrives, as often as possible, to get a grip on himself and stare into interesting bedrooms. But who in the world will throw him down and ravage him as the lovers under his gaze ravage one another? For the answers, unknot that bright red bow, tear off those wrappings, and enjoy!

It’s prom night in the Demented States of America. A place where schools are built with secret passageways, rebellious teens get zippers installed in their mouths and genitals, and once a year, on that special night, one couple is slaughtered and the bits of their bodies are kept as souvenirs. But something’s gone terribly wrong at Corundum High, where the secret killer is claiming a far higher body count than usual… Slaughterhouse High is Robert Devereaux’s slicing satire of sex, death, and public education.

A Flight of Storks and Angels

Robert Devereaux

Robert Devereaux

Product DescriptionRenowned fantasist T. E. Jameson writes his masterworks in a treehouse, carrying on what seems to be a one-way conversation with his muse. Cracked? Possibly. But rich eccentrics must have their foibles. Also rich in creative eccentricity is Jameson's grandson Ward, at age thirteen still enjoying the company of his invisible companion Timothy. When Ward's girlfriend June brings lovemaking into their friendship, she reunites with her lost invisible companion, after which these three, having reached critical mass, can see and hear one another's guardian angels. A walk into downtown Auroville makes visible and audible guardian angels everywhere, each uniquely conforming to its host personality. Broken families begin to mend, righteous intolerance crumbles before truth, and a genuine sense of community starts to develop in this small town. When word spreads and national media crews rush in, their cameras and mikes picking up nothing, seeds of doubt and distrust are sown. Can the first healing steps survive such assaults against faith? Will the temptation to scapegoat Jameson, Ward, and June prevail? And how can those who have retained their faith in miracles not only survive persecution but spread the message worldwide? Resonant with themes of self discovery, loss, heartache, and standing up for one's beliefs in the face of adversity, A Flight of Storks and Angels recaptures an innocence that seems nearly lost in today's world, taking readers on a magical journey to reclaim it.
