Collecting Old Friends

Hey y'all! It's been a while, right?

It's okay because I've been busier than a one legged cat. In case you're not tapped into the mainline of R.W. Webb information - there has been a dramatic amount of releases over the past month.

You heard me!

First up: The Collected Tales (Volumes 1-3) are available for your kindles NOW! The paperback versions of each of these volumes will start becoming available in October (vol. 1) November (vol. 2) December (I lost track, you get the gist).

Inside these three books are 41 of my weirdest, most reknown, most published, most unloved and most disgusting short stories penned over the past twenty-five years. I have officially purged my secret stash of about 30% and it filled 3 volumes! Whaaaaat?

Volume One: Includes everything I've published in magazines, newspapers and elsewhere - under any of my various pen names. There are fifteen total stories in Volume One. Two are making their debut in this collection. I'll list them out below, let's move on.

Volume Two: The Novellas - this volume has four massive thrill-rides. You can't miss this one. There's two new stories you haven't seen included here! I'm getting you ready for the big surprises in Vol. 3, see?

Volume Three: Twenty-two brain farts! The oldest story I still have ("The Tickets" when I was 10) and the most recent story ("The Wobble Effect" the Biblical tale of Moses...if Moses was an octopus in a fish store). Boom! Your mind just blew up.

But wait! That's not all!

Saturdays, At The Bijoux - is available as a Kindle Single and already topping the best seller charts in literary fiction and horror. This novella is included in Volume 2 of the Collected Tales, but if you prefer your gore in tidy doses, this $2.99 thrill-ride is for you! I'll admit, the ending to this one actually makes ME cringe - so for those of you who like it rough...you may want to buy a ticket for the picture show and go see what's going on inside that old, abandoned theater. You were warned.

Here's where shit gets weird...

As you all know, I have a trilogy of fantasy novels starring the character Singer Bardin coming out soon. What you don't know is ... Singer Bardin meets his friends every day at 6pm in Storytime Village (a small town atop his mountain fortress) and reads from a gigantic tome of "happy stories" as he pretends to be the character of Uncle Rooster. The villagers aren't that smart.

The Furrie Niblets: Is part of "Uncle Rooster's Tome of Happy Stories" - the first and only tie-in to the Whirligig Ranch series, this collection of 31 flash fiction tales will delight your boobies off. Not only that - but each of the 31 "niblets" have an audio edition where Uncle Rooster himself reads these tales FOR you! For the time being - the mp3's are separate from the ebook, but we're working on making an "enhanced kindle" experience whereby these are fused together. Technology.

So that's about it for now. One month - 1400 pages of fresh reading for you.

That outta give me a head start.



Happy Reading!!
