"There was video of the second shooter. There was video." In the
first reports of every mass shooting, there's always mention of a
second shooter-two sets of gunshots, a figure seen fleeing the
scene-and they always seem to evaporate as events are pieced
together. Commissioned by a fringe publisher to investigate the
phenomenon, journalist Mike Karras finds himself tailed by drones,
attacked by a talk radio host, badgered by his all-knowing (and
maybe all-powerful) editor, and teaming up with an immigrant family
of conspiracy buffs. Together, they uncover something larger and
stranger than anyone could imagine-a technomystical plot to 'murder
America.' Time for Karras to meet his deadline.

When Julia Hernandez leaves her husband, shoots a real estate
developer, and then vanishes without a trace, she slips out of the
world she knew and into the Simulacrum--a place where human history
is both guided and thwarted by the conflict between a species of
anarchist wasps and a collective of hyperintelligent spiders. When
Julia's ex-husband Raymond spots her in a grocery store he doesn't
usually patronize, he's soon drawn into an underworld of radical
political gestures where Julia is the new media sensation of both
this world and the Simulacrum. Told ultimately from the collective
point of view of another species, this allegorical novel plays with
the elements of the Simulacrum apparent in real life--media
reports, business speak, blog entries, text messages,
psychological-evaluation forms, and the lies lovers tell one
another--and poses a fascinating idea that displaces human beings
from the center of the universe and makes them simply the pawns of
two warring species.

The Urban Bizarre brings together tales of the city from the best
new science fiction writers, pornographers, and zinesters --
stories too weird, too dark, and just plain too bizarre to be
published elsewhere. Edited by the Bram Stoker Award-nominated
author Nick Mamatas, The Urban Bizarre guarantees you'll never look
at a cab driver or street corner in quite the same way again.
What if everyone actually was famous for exactly fifteen minutes?
What if Joey Ramone could save the world? What if the spiritual
enlightenment of saints and sages was a sexually transmitted
disease? These are the fictions. Neon signs that predict a city's
future. Companies paying people to insult their clients online.
Edgar Allan Poe's New York is still alive, but not well. These are
the facts. And they say speculative fiction and personal essays
don't belong in the same book. Whether in the glossy pages of the
men's magazine Razor or the stolen reams of office supplies that
make up the zine The Whirligig, the writing of Nick Mamatas is your
hitchhiker's guide to the new, and very weird, millennium. Don't
know where the world is headed? Nick does and it's 3000 miles per
hour in every direction at once.

Highlander meets Seven in Nick Mamatas's Sabbath, the story of a
legendary warrior who dies in battle, wakes up in the present day,
and is tasked with hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins. The infamous
eleventh-century warrior Hexen Sabbath is plucked from death and
certain damnation by a being claiming to be an angel of the Lord,
and finds himself dropped into contemporary Manhattan with no
clothes, no weapons, no resources, and one mission--to track down
and kill the living personifications of the Seven Deadly Sins
before they bring about Armageddon. With time running out and his
only ally a destitute art gallery owner, Sabbath must fight his way
through New York's elite and challenge the world's most powerful
man, or an eternity of suffering will be his, and our, only reward.
