Fright 2.0

 

Excerpt from “Red Wall”


Mark's favorite place to sit and contemplate his next story was in the room he'd designed himself. It was created to look everything like what he imagined Edgar Allan Poe's own writing office must have looked. With a large antique wood desk dominating the middle of the rough wood floor, towering bookcases behind where he sat that contained giant tomes of classic literature, he'd even installed real gas lanterns fed by propane tanks he kept in the hidden closet behind the door. All of this, and every item of furniture and decor, was purposefully installed and placed so as to inspire only those feelings and musings he was sure he needed to inspire each story. The raw, roughly hewn wood of the floor and furniture represented age, rustic strength, even the occasional sliver they injected into hand, foot, leg, or ass, was welcome discomfort. The writing chair was definitely not built for comfort, which suited Mark just fine. He knew that those that made up his subject matter were far from comforted with him as their deity so felt it only fair. One had to suffer to understand true suffering...

Fright is a hybrid graphic novel/novel anthology of horror fiction. Our narrator is The Jester who introduces us to the realm of our nightmares ruled by his royal loath-fullness, King Fright. Each volume contains stories by authors that have a window view of the land of Fright. Each story is cleverly introduced through The Jester’s graphic monologues. As the stories take us deeper into our darkest dreams we learn more about our own fragile psyches and the world that we call Fright.

This edition is offered in standard Full Color (FC) in order to be enjoyed in its magnificence.

Did you hear That?

  An all new What the Trope is now available on Kindle-Vella! In this offering we poke fun at “the strange noise” that nobody takes seriously and someone will inevitably go investigate even though they’ve been warned. It is not to be confused with “I’ll be back” even though the two can be combined. 

So Amazon does this really cool thing I’ve only recently learned about. Yes, I am behind on some things. It's called Kindle-vella. Via the platform, authors can release a series of stories one at a time and make them available to Kindle readers for a small sum. I believe the first 3 stories are even free. They even have a special metric for paying the authors that involves thumbs up clicks and tokens you can purchase to use to be able to access them. So if you’re a Kindle user, look for my ongoing series called “What the Trope? Presents...” by J.P. Hunt. Even if you’re not a Kindle user, not only is there an app for that you can also view the stories via the web.

Thank you all for your support!

Shadows re re re

 


This is rather surreal. I just got the hardcover version today. As I’ve mentioned before I’ve re re re edited all my previous releases. The complete collection covers everything important from high school through college. Shadows here is the most recent (2013). It is kind of mind blowing to see it like this. My eyes don’t recognize it as something I wrote and want to read it like I don’t know what’s in it lol. 


In other news, Fright 2.0 is ready for final editing, formatting, and proofing. Which means we’re pretty close to publishing. Will tease more as we get closer.

Fright 2.0

 We were intending a Halloween release of Fright 2.0 but every]thing has progressed far faster than we could have ever imagined! Halloween really starts in July right? We suspect a much earlier release. Before the end of the month? It is entirely possible! Stay tuned for teases as we get closer to release. In the meantime, if you're brave enough to step inside the adolescent mind that created Fright, follow the link below! For some this will be old hack, and if you still have a ditto copy we would love to hear about it. For others it will seem high schoolish, and it was very 80's too. Wait til you get a load of 2.0! See you soon my fettered friends!

For Real This TIme!

 Iiiiiiiiiii’m baaaaaack! Well actually I never left, but while I wasn’t away I re-re-edited and re-re-released all my old books and am currently working on producing new ones that will see the light of day I promise!

Here are some titles to look for in the near future...


Fright 2.0: A reinvention of my high school rag. A horror graphic novel, anthology hybrid with guest authors! Think what if “Tales from the Crypt” and “Masters of Horror" had a bastard child. Fright would be that bastard!


Undead Alive: A collection of tales from the zombie apocalypse with news articles and some ancient history!


Crows: A retelling of the story that can be found in Labyrinths of My Mind only more like a kids book with pictures and stuff.


Lyric Notebook: As mentioned, a complete collection of the song lyrics I have ever written with notes and anecdotes.


What the Trope? Presents...: A Kindle-vella series on Amazon. A series of stories in which well known horror movie tropes are humorously examined. Debut July 30th, 2023. New story every month.


I Hated the 80’s, but Got over It (An Autobiography): I was 90’s angst before there was such a thing and I got the stories to prove it.
