ASYLUM PRESS PREVIEWS ASYLUM OF HORRORS
 

July 20th, 2008 (Los Angeles)  Frank Forte, creator of The Vampire Verses, Insidious Tales and Warlash, is releasing the first issue of a new horror anthology The Asylum of Horrors, through his company Asylum Press.

The premise of the book is that a mad psychiatrist/doctor is running an asylum that has psychotics and killers as inmates.  This doctor uses experimental treatments and hallucinatory drugs on them. Then he connects their brains to his and watches these inmates’ nightmares.  This is the genesis of the stories inside The Asylum of Horrors.  Each issue will have a beginning and end bumper tale to tie the issue together.

Featuring sixteen stories, the 96-page first issue will retail for $4.95. In “Human Growth Hormone” by Frank Forte, a geek’s love for a girl drives him to desperate measures. “The Last Line” by Atilla Futaki, explores a man’s bizarre train ride. Kevin Colden conjures up a Satanic yarn of lust and death entitled "Caveat Emptor.” Other tales include: “Love or Obsession” by Szymon Kudranski, “Madness” a Lovecraftian horror tale by Marcin Ponomarew, “The Parts” by Riste Sekuloski and “Ruined Earth-CARNIGOR” an apocalyptic zombie tale by Billy George.  Also included: "The Cannibal Man" by Robert S. Rhine.

Frank Forte says, "This is one book I've been working on for quite some time.  I've always been a fan of horror and now I want to do the kind of book that pulls no punches."

"There will be a lot of good twists that you don't see coming, " Forte continues, "we will give the reader plenty of psychological horror as well as blood and gore.  I hope there will be something for everyone."

The book will street in September 2008.
