Apricot Brandy
An exciting dark fantasy debut from Lynn Cesar
Deep in ancient Darkness where seed and spore and root and sleepless worm commingle -- Xibalba awaits. To the ancient god, human life has become a disease destroying the earth and the now-demonic Xibalba is coming to feed on the good and the evil alike, to scour humankind from the face of the earth...Returning to the family homestead after her father's suicide, Karen Fox finds herself haunted by her past and bound by rage and guilt to a place she despises. Her lover, Susan, shows up help Karen confront her past, but she, too, is overwhelmed by malevolent powers that have seeded the earth with evil. Only Karen, ex-con Kyle, an ancient Guatemalan bruja named Quetzal, and an army of ghosts Quetzal commands stand between Xibalba and the annihilation of us all.

About Dark Fantasy
It has yet to be solidly connected to its own particular subgenre of fantasy. Stories often described by some as dark fantasy may be placed by others in either the horror or fantasy genres, based on which genre the story tends more toward. As a natural consequence, the term itself may refer collectively to tales that would more properly belong in very different genres.

Want to let people know about the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and Cthulu.con that just took place in Portland, OR the first week of October. It is a yearly film maker's event, put on by Lurker Films. This year they decided to include writers, not just film makers. I was forunate to go. Other writers there included: Brian Lumley, Micheal Shea, Laird Barron, Joe Pulver, more. Portland is a great city anyway. The panels were interesting, it was great.

At the moment I'm reading Lynn Cesar's new book Apricot Brandy. It's pretty scary in some ways, but some passages are actually quite funny. I am not a horror fan per se, but I am enjoying this rather unique blend of supernatural horror... can't wait for the real battle between good and evil to begin!
