| Post subject: | Jeff Mariotte's THE SLAB, finally an e-book |
My horror novel THE SLAB was published in 2003 by IDW Publishing (then, as now, mostly known for comics, though occasionally they have branched out into prose), in a nice trade paperback edition full of terrific artwork by Tommy Lee Edwards. At $16.99, and with limited bookstore distribution, it never got quite as much attention as perhaps it should have, given some of its glowing reviews and nice word-of-mouth. Now I've made it available (sans artwork) as an e-book, for only $2.99. Kindle readers can get it , and other formats are . Here are some lovely things people have written about it: "In The Slab, Mariotte grabs the reader's mind bare-handed and drags you through the unraveling of human interactions. It's insightful, potent, powerful--and downright creepy. Not only is The Slab a microcosm of the dark side of human nature, it's also a ripping good thriller. --Kevin J. Anderson, bestselling author of Terra Incognita, The Saga of Seven Suns, and Dune series "Mariotte is an author with vision. His prose is striking, his plots involving, his characters identifiable. He knows how to move an audience--and how to strike absolute terror in their hearts. If you're not reading his work, you should be. I highly recommend The Slab." --Scott Ciencin, bestselling author of The Vampire Odyssey "Mariotte manages both thought-provoking juxtaposition and lizard-brain satisfaction as he plays out the large cast of characters across this hard and relentless landscape. His serial killers are just original enough to catch readers by surprise and he neatly ties together the threads of random magic, post-traumatic stress syndrome, a subtle supernatural invasion and an upper-class attack on a lower class landscape. "This is a great book to read on an airplane. It's hard to put down once you get the gist of where Mariotte is going." --Rick Kleffel, Trashotron.com I hope you check it out, and enjoy it. If you're on Facebook, drop by and check out an of the real Slab City and Salton Sea, the novel's location--one of the strangest places most people will never visit. |

Nice! I have heard good things about it. Can't go wrong for .99 cents. |
