An obligatory promo post today. My second book for Osprey Dark, Bug Hunts, is out now, so
it seems a fitting time to take a look at both titles that are currently on the
shelves.
Osprey Dark is an alt-history
imprint of the famous military history publisher. Along with their Osprey Adventures range, each title delves into a fictionalized
version of historical (or mythological and even future) events, presenting
fun-packed ride into the realms of the fantastical.
The first of the two books is The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. This narrative looks at a
version of events where the famous Washington Irving story was fact instead of
fiction, and the writer was actually a hunter of headless revenants, taking his
battle against the supernatural around the globe. The artwork by Alan Lathwell
is just lush. It’s a great read for Halloween – but don’t just take my word for
it, check out this review!
The second book is Bug Hunts: Surviving and Combating the Alien Menace. This was great fun to
write – at its heart, it’s a 23rd century tactical handbook for the intrepid STAR
Industries Marine Corps, battling against alien ‘bugs’ inspired by a variety of
cinematic tropes. It’s a homage to the SF horror that I’ve loved forever,
although of particular fun was the chance to write an original future timeline,
galactic history, and devise a technical weapons manual for my marines. There’s
a review for that one, too!
