JustineG Feels the Hebridean Love for BLACKSTONE Erotica
0Calum MacIver, a UK based blogger on all things underground, trashy, and hell, fun, has been digging into Martian Migraine Press author Justine G‘s weird-erotic opus BLACKSTONE Erotica series lately. Check out these excerpts from his reviews of Red Monolith Frenzy, Green Fever Dream, and the two (so far!) Summonings books…
“The plot is intriguing, the writing is smooth and elegant and there are some really clever turns of phrase that help the forward momentum and at the same time deliver an intriguing off-kilter feel. The combination of bizarre perverted sex, weird supernatural elements and insane cosmic horror all work in perfect unison to make Red Monolith Frenzy a magnificently entertaining read and the perfect combination of Lovecraftian creepiness, freaky erotica and cosmic horror.” (Read more on Calum’s KVLT KVLTURE blog)
“The plotting is breakneck with little opportunity to catch a breath between one mad scene or insane situation, but the writing compliments the furious pace with ease; smooth, easy to follow and with just the right touch of mystery to keep the reader fully engaged and wanting more. Some of the passages and phraseology are excellent -redolent of Lovecraft but with their own unique spin: “I witnessed its kin as they performed unholy rituals of staggeringly alien beauty in dripping caverns of onyx and mother-of-pearl”. The psycho-sex is literally out-of-this-world, hot and freaky with the cosmic horror elements masterfully integrated into the overall story – the climax is pure Lovecraft but done in a whole new way … an excellent read and a worthy second instalment in the Blackstone series…” (Read more on Calum’s KVLT KVLTURE blog)
“The two Blackstone books provided hugely exciting slices of bizarre Lovecraftian sex and wild cosmic horror – the two Summonings books follow in the same vein and if anything amp up the madness to new levels. Summonings: Anicka and Kamil, in particular, delivers an eye-watering, brain-scrambling sex sequence between Anicka, Kamil and Daoloth. It’s not often that I’ve read something google-eyed in amazement, but the climactic sequence in this was like nothing I’ve read before – imaginative, crazy, bizarre, sick and absolutely brilliant! In comparison Summonings: Yvette’s Interview is positively calm and restrained, but that said it is still a surging, throbbing Lovecraftian quagmire of weirded-out transgressive cosmic sex and alien-black witchery. I cannot recommend this series highly enough.” (Read more on Calum’s KVLT KVLTURE blog)
Can YOU handle something this eye-watering and brain-scrambling? Yeah? Well, PROVE IT, ladies and genotypes. Get down and squelchy with Justine G’s BLACKSTONE Erotica series today! And head on over to KVLT KVLTURE for a truly exhaustive (and pleasantly exhausting!) round-up of all things awesome; Calum is doing the good work, we’re convinced.
The Numbers: Halloween Promo Breakdown! Also, Author Projects and MECHANICALS
0This was our biggest free Kindle book promotion yet and we’ve only just now sat down to tally the results. Over the course of five days, from October 28 through to Thursday November 1, we gave away four of our current titles, to a dollar amount of $1900. Gah. It’s enough to give a body the vapours. Here’s the breakdown, homies…
Soft From All The Blood by S R Jones — 249 copies
Green Fever Dream (Book 2 BLACKSTONE Erotica) by Justine G — 242 copies
Summonings: Anicka and Kamil (a BLACKSTONE Erotica short) by Justine G — 287 copies
R’lyeh Sutra by skawt chonzz — 157 copies
Perhaps obviously, the most downloads went to MMP erotica titles, and, perhaps even more obviously, Justine’s short Summonings: Anicka and Kamil did better business than her longer form smutty novella Green Fever Dream.We think the difference between the two books comes down to the cover graphics: plenty of bare skin and nice lingerie on the Summonings cover v. full latex kink scuba gear on Green Fever Dream. That, and length. It’s always about the length. Yeah, yeah. Jokers. Well, thanks to our graphic design department for at least staying somewhat faithful to the contents of each book. The BLACKSTONE characters need those goddamn scuba masks at the end!
As always, if you’ve downloaded and have enjoyed or are currently enjoying any of the above titles, won’t you please pop on by the Amazon page for said titles, click on the Like button (won’t take a second!) and leave a review? Reviews may take a few more seconds, possibly even a minute or five. Such small temporal sacrifices are greatly appreciated!
In other news, as we slowly ooze on into December expect a little less activity from our authors as they devote their collective hours to new projects. Jones is in the early stages of his non-fiction When The Stars Are Right: Towards An Authentic R’lyehian Spirituality, as well as pumping out short stories for MMP and (gasp!) other publishers, while Justine is working on two new BLACKSTONE shorts, the third book in the BLACKSTONE series, Yellow Sign Bound, and a stand alone sci-fi/horror erotica short tentatively titled ORGY IN THE VALLEY OF THE LUST LARVAE! There’s even skitterings from skawt recently regarding the release of another dark poetry chapbook…
Finally, we’d like to mention that long-time friend of the show and kick-ass author/holy man Jordan Stratford has a new steampunk book out: MECHANICALS. Folks, we here at MMP were treated to the ARC of Mechanicals months back and we can conclusively state that this? This is an amazing, full-tilt read with engaging characters and an aromatic plot. Right now it’s at the introductory price of $2.99 but that’s only for the next three weeks, we’re told, so if you’re hankering for some para-historical derring-do, now’s the time to hit up Stratford for Mechanicals!
Martian Migraine Press: the Best Kind of Headache
MMP Halloween Special! Free Kindle Books: All Treats, No Tricks!
0Years ago, our author S R Jones used to run a weekly ‘Weird Tales’-style spoken word radio show, appropriately titled “Weird Tales”. Original. Anyway… he tells us that, with spooky stuff being sent out on the airwaves all year, Halloween always had an anti-climactic feel, so much so that he’d switch up genres and do an all-romance or documentary show when the dread night came round. We won’t be doing that for our Halloween special, but man, we know how he felt… because all (OK, most) of our titles are spooky.
Spooky… and FREE! (Which is the best kind of spooky.) The following four MMP titles will be free for your Kindle from SUNDAY OCTOBER 28 through to THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1. Face it: y’all knew this was coming from us. How could we not do a Halloween special promo? Clicking on the covers below will take you directly to the books on their respective Amazon pages. Knock yourselves out, boys and ghouls! There’s something for everyone: surreal poetry, magic(k)al illustrations, literary horror and of course, the monstrous erotica of Justine G’s BLACKSTONE series. Download ’em, consume ’em like the sweet, sickening, sweet candy they are, and when you’re done (and groaning with the pleasure of a good haul) pop on back to their pages and leave our authors some appreciative reviews! Thanks. And have a happy Halloween!
