While I admit I love every book released by Afterbirth, there are a few that I love just a little more than the others. Now, I’m not going to go into long, boring reasons WHY I, personally, love them, and I’m not going to write a synopsis of each one-there are links for those-but I will say that these books deserve more attention than they are currently receiving. They are all outstanding and the authors are much, much better-and much smarter- writers than I am. Take that any way you wish, but I can tell you its the absolute truth.
So, first up is Better Ways of Being Dead by Christian TeBordo and you can check it out here: http://tiny.cc/b4uil
Next is Cocoon of Terror by Jason Earls: http://tiny.cc/iHwcB
And lastly, Super Cell Anemia by duncan b. barlow: http://tiny.cc/FWKba
I’m often asked what and who inspires me and these novels rank near the top of that list. In short, I want to write like these guys when I grow up. IF I ever do…
So, if you can, seek these ones out. There’s a lot of bang for your buck in each of them and if you’re brave enough to take the plunge, I hope they do for you what they do for me: as a writer, they make me want to be better and as a reader they make the trip well worth taking.
Don’t worry. You can thank me later.
