AIP purchases debut horror novel from Chicago horror author

Apocalypse Ink Productions has purchased Famished, the debut novel of author Ivan Ewert. The book is based on Ewert’s web series Vorare, that was previously published by The Edge of Propinquity webzine. Famished, which contains themes of isolation, cannibalism, and familial ties, has given members of the AIP staff shivers and nightmares.

AIP anticipates a late 2012 release.

We have new review for Industry Talk: An Insider's Look at Writing RPGs and Editing Anthologies. I have to admit, it is a pretty awesome one, too.

"If you've ever thought about freelance writing or putting together an anthology

(and especially if you want to do either in the games industry), this book is well worth

the price of admission." -Steven Saus


The reviewer is also owner of Alliteration Ink Publishing. He has declared that to pitch an anthology to him, Industry Talk is required reading. I am very please by this.

Look what is waiting for me when I recover from surgery.

FAMISHED by Ivan Ewert.

It's already had some editing. Now it is time for the red pen and orange hightlight.

The Ghost's Talisman is photo graphic novel, or fumetti, written by award winning author and editor Jennifer Brozek and photographed by the award winning photographer, Amber Clark. It is the story of an ordinary girl thrown into extraordinary circumstances, a ghost who needs her help, and a sorceress who will stop at nothing to possess both of their souls. The Ghost's Talisman is told through photos and sets (rather than traditional hand drawn methods) and shot in and around the Seattle metro area.

We are casting for the following roles:

HALEY – A woman in her early twenties; she bares the bruises and injuries from a recent car accident.
XANDER – A man in his early twenties who has been dead for almost a year.
RYAN NORTH – A man in is thirties
AMANITA HAAF – Appears to be in her mid-thirties but is actually far older than that.
DEMON – A costume and make up intensive character
HUNTER – A spirit bound that seeks out XANDER and HALEY. A very tall, roughly human in shape that is black from head to toe and has predatory insect like movements.
UNCLE RICH – Late thirties, early forties, very smooth and dapper. He's been around the black a few times
BINDER – A spirit bound to AMANITA HAAF to catch ghosts. Is shorter and more round than HUNTER
YOUNG XANDER – XANDER as a ten year old boy
BOBBY – RYAN NORTH's five year old son
PAWN SHOP CUSTOMER

The compensation will be a daily stipend once funding is acquired.

The hard copy proof of Industry Talk by Jennifer Brozek is now in our hot little hands. It looks good! Though, we have now discovered that the gutter needs to be a bit deeper. This has been fixed in the file and re-uploaded to Lightening Source. It looks like the hard copy of Industry Talk is available at Amazon already.
