Alexander Tabasco's Fancy or How the English Lecher Received his Just Desserts
In the decadent setting of 1920s Paris the grand magus Alexander Tabasco, a hedonistic occultist, becomes infatuated with the actress Mary. Despite his repeated failures to woo her through conventional and supernatural means, the beastly magician finally succeeds in gaining her affections via a combination of fine desserts and readily available narcotics. Their partnership quickly devolves into a chaotic mess of a marriage filled with infidelity and alcoholism, with a final act so terrifying it leaves the magus running for his life. This short story collection also features other tales of occult fiction such as the satirical Lovecraftian "Meat Head" and "The Eldritch Gingersnaps Gang", as well as "Jake: A Funko Pop Love Story", in which a high school wizard makes a pact with a particularly gruesome demon, followed up by the Hellish romance novel parody "The Angel and the Devil", the chronicle of how Satan found his true love in the form of a sadistic happy-go-lucky Angel of Wrath. Herein lies a composition of wicked humor, satirical twists, and infernal romance for those who delight in laughing at the macabre. "Surgat was an odd horned thing who could open any lock, but when Alexander sent the demon to throw open the barriers guarding her affections, the spirit only returned that evening with a shrug and a statement- "The doors of her heart are encased in the steel of a thousand cherubim." Alexander simply dismissed the demon, and thought- "I will have to try harder"."

Evil Rising
Biron Coomra, a child created by a biophysicist from Rylaxon and a powerful witch from a distant alien world planet called Earth, has struggled to find his place in a society that shuns difference. As a civil war threatens to tear Rylaxon apart, determined factions struggle to protect what they hold dear. Biron and those viewed as genetically different, through no fault of their own, are deemed a threat to Rylaxon purity. A consortium of Zealots has vowed to rid their society of anyone judged genetically inferior. In Evil Rising, book two of the Children of Enoch series, the fragile peace that holds Rylaxon together is about to crumble. As a cybernetic boy with magical abilities, Biron is targeted for extinction at the hands of these self-proclaimed puritans. An evil entity bent on destroying humanity manipulates a cloning experiment based on Biron's DNA, to create a new race. Gorgos, the first of a bloodthirsty tribe of Vampeer, will stop at nothing to destroy Biron and conquer humanity. The fanged clone joins forces with the Zealots to frame Biron and turn the public against the young crusader. The brutal murder of a beloved religious leader only enflames the passions on both sides. While on the run, the young hero Biron mysteriously loses his magical abilities, and he and his family race for their lives. When unknown forces appear, no one can predict the surprising outcome of their intervention.
