Tales of Weird Florida
Florida isn’t all beaches and sunshine… These are the stories of Eugene Law, Florida’s favorite Magician. He doesn’t pull rabbits out of hats or saw women in half. He deals in real Magick, the cosmic powers of the universe, and all the trouble that comes with. Alongside his fiery wife, headstrong daughter, and fun-loving son, Gene will face all manner of monsters, mayhem, and Magick in a forever struggle to keep his family and his life from going off the rails in epic fashion. These are his tales of Weird Florida, both a place we know, and one far more mysterious than we ever imagined.
Martincraftian Cosmic Horror
Cosmic horror for a modern audience, this Martincraftian series takes old Lovecraft works and retells them from a contemporary angle. Each book consists of one or more historical tales, completely reimagined, and given new life. Enjoy a different take on classic horror, minus the things that made it questionable in the first place.
Blood and Pulp
Blood and Pulp is an imprint of Weird Florida LLC and a place for Martin Shannon’s more experimental and non-conforming fiction. You’ll find numerous genres represented, along with strange worlds and even stranger characters. Through it all, Blood and Pulp retains its signature fast-paced, rapid-fire style. It harkens back to an earlier time when fiction filled magazine shelves and fun was the mission. Enjoy a walk on the wild side of Martin’s mind with a little “Blood and Pulp” for the soul.
Monster Hunters for Hire
Jess and Mel are monster hunters on a mission: get paid and try to stay alive long enough to spend it. Sadly, life is anything but simple for this dynamic duo. Werebeasts, carnivorous plants, and a host of monsters lurk around every corner just waiting to sink their claws in. If that wasn't bad enough, there's always the rent.
