Pardon the Interruption—Selling books by amputation!

Prepare yourselves! This is by no means your ordinary book trailer. With unsuspecting charm and grace only the most skilled of surgeons can master, author Max Barry lends a satirical twist to the usual trailer with a sneak peek (literally) of Machine Man. While not a Dorchester title, a trailer of this finesse deserves spotlight attention!

Don’t try this at home. So help me—if I start getting e-mails that you’ve all gone and hacked off your limbs, you can’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ll certainly be impressed, but lacking in sympathy.

While both beloved icons in their own right, Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss hold court at opposite ends of the poetic spectrum. These two sovereign bards come face to face from across the ages and push the limits of civility in this Epic Rap Battles of History video.

See who comes out on top in this clever, if not a little absurd, definitely NSFW, rap battle after the jump.

Night Souls by Maynard and Sims is new in trade paperback this month—just in time for Halloween! Check out the book trailer below…

“Maynard and Sims books just keep getting better and better, and Night Souls might just be their best yet. You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not give their books a try. I can only hope that there are more adventures in store for the intrepid souls of Department 18.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland

“I was a huge fan of Black Cathedral and am an even bigger fan of Night Souls. Maynard and Sims know what they’re doing when it comes to the supernatural and suspense.” —Horror Review

Pardon the Interruption—BLOOD TIES by Judith E. French

“French can add another gripping suspense to her repertoire of bestsellers with [Blood Ties]. With a gift for creating an ominous yet homey atmosphere, the author spins another web of a suspense-filled tale with intrigue and romance. This novel picks up where Blood Kin left off, with deadly secrets, the curses of a Native American burial ground and plenty else to keep readers on edge. The author makees you feel like you’re right in the midst of the action.” —Romantic Times Book Reviews

Blood Ties is now available for the first time in e-book!
