HE OWNS THE NIGHT! One of the most original heroes in all of pulpdom returns in four gun-blazing adventures jam-packed with action and adventure. The mysterious Black Bat once again patrols the urban jungle. His targets: Those who would prey on the weak the helpless. Crusading District Attorney, Anthony Quinn, was scarred and blinded by gangland hoods. When an experimental transplant operation returns his sight, it also grants him the ability to see in the dark! Allowing the public to continue believing he is a harmless, blind attorney, Quinn invents a new identity, that of the crime-fighting avenger known as the Black Bat! With a trio of loyal aids, he launches his campaign against the forces of evil. From a giant Nazi-bred monster to a gun-slinging Commie assassin, here are four brand new tales by Andrew Salmon, Aaron Smith, Mark Justice and Frank Schildiner starring the master of the night, the Black Bat, once again thrilling pulp fans with his daring exploits. Long considered the template from which dozens of comic book heroes were inspired, including Marvel’s Daredevil and DC’s Batman, the Black Bat is truly one of the most unique characters ever born of the pulps.

With Looking at the World with Broken Glass in My Eye, Mark Justice has given us a genuine gift; by turns funny, horrifying,heartbreaking, and just plain weird, this is a real showcase collection, and a feast for readers. You never know from one tale to the next what he's going to hit you with, and it's that very unpredictability that makes this book so much more than the meresum of its often-brilliant parts. Justice has a keen and unflinching eye for the telling details of human (and un-human) behavior, and a poet's economy with words. There is not a wasted syllable to befound between these covers, and at times I felt as if I were being given a writing lesson. I cannot imagine anyone reading powerhouse stories such as "Black Wings" and the hands-down masterpiece "Father's Day" without feeling envious that they didn't write them. I expected this collection to be good; I didn't expect it to knock my socks off and leave me so wrung out. This is what short fiction should be but too often isn't. If you don't get this collection, your life is going to be all the poorer for it--and I've never said that about a book before."--Gary A. Braunbeck, winner of the Bram Stoker Award andInternational Horror Guild Award, and author of Destinations Unknown and Mr. Hands

THE WHAT IF MOMENT A Note from the Author on the Rise of THE DEAD SHERIFF  It probably started with the Lone Ranger.  When I was a kid, westerns were everywhere, especially at our house. My dad was a nut for them. The table next to his chair always had a Louis L’Amour book on it. A John Wayne movie on a Saturday afternoon took precedence over everything else, even baseball games. Half the TV schedule was comprised of shoot-‘em-ups, including reruns of the Clayton Moore “Lone Ranger” series.  Believe me, I grew up well versed in “Giddyup” and “Whoa!” and “Reach fer the sky, mister!”  At some point, though, I’d had enough. I developed interests of my own, and the stuff my parents liked couldn’t be my favorites anymore. It just wasn’t cool.  Among my growing passions were “Chiller Theater,” “Famous Monsters of Filmland,” Marvel Comics and pulp magazine reprints of “Doc Savage” and “The Spider.”  Years later, I came across a DVD of “Lone Ranger” episodes. Giving in to a twinge of nostalgia, I bought it. It wasn’t great, but it was a classic part of my childhood. More importantly, it started the wheels rolling toward “What if?”  A lot of writers will tell you that almost everything springs from “What if?” My moment came right after the Lone Ranger and his stoic sidekick, Tonto, had stopped the bad guys, thus earning the undying gratitude of the whole town. As the crime-fighting duo saddled up and rode off toward their next adventure, I thought, “What if everybody thinks the Lone Ranger is in charge, but he’s really just some guy hired by Tonto to be the face of their crime-fighting operation and later, after the Ranger is snoring in his bedroll, Tonto creeps back to town to collect the reward money that the Ranger always turns down?” Hey, a guy has to plan for his future. Maybe Tonto needs a down payment on that retirement condo in Boca.  Something else writers will tell you is that the What If moment occurs maybe ten or twenty times a day. Out of those, maybe–maybe–one idea a week will become the germ for a story or novel or screenplay or poem.  The Tonto-as-boss notion was one of those that seemed to offer nothing more than a moment’s amusement. “Nothing to see here,” it seemed to say, “so move along.” I did.  But every now and then, the notion would resurface and I’d examine it and toss it back to wherever the lonely, unused concepts reside. It was incomplete—one half of an equation. One day, during a marathon of bad horror flicks, the other piece of the concept fell into place.  “The faithful Indian sidekick has a magic talisman that he stole. He only understands it enough to do one magical thing: to reanimate a corpse and control it like a puppet. While the rest of the west believes The Dead Sheriff is a murdered lawman that dug his way out of his grave to bring to justice the killers of his family, the truth is much different. The undead avenger is simply a means for a young man with a mystical totem to earn a little cash. Unfortunately, where magic and money are concerned, things inevitably go wrong.”  Despite a tendency for bits of himself to fall off along the dusty trail, I plan for The Dead Sheriff to be righting wrongs for many years to come, and encountering the oddest characters to ever saddle up, like the crazed cannibal brothers, a traveling vampire bordello and the posse made up of the West’s far less successful masked vigilantes. Did I mention the magic talisman’s original owner and his demonic sidekick? Or the time traveler?  I hope you’ll stroll into the saloon, belly up to the bar and order of a shot of pulpy fun. The Wild West is about to get very weird.  Mark Justice In the hills of Kentucky
