Hey, fans of reading! Today is Book Lovers Day, a worldwide event whose origin and first appearance on the calendar aren’t really known, but what is known is that it’s celebrated every August 9th to encourage reading, and any reason to help folks fall in love with books is always a good thing. And if you’re looking for the right book on this special day, StarWarp Concepts is the place for quality reading material!
Our ever-growing list of titles ranges from the young-adult thrills of supernatural heroine Pandora Zwieback to the nonfiction books Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination (perfect for writers and RPG game masters) and From the Stars…a Vampiress: An Unauthorized Guide to Vampirella’s Classic Horror Adventures, and from the Illustrated Classics A Princess of Mars, Carmilla, and King Kong to the swashbuckling adventure of the fantasy novel Harbinger of Darkness.
And our titles are critically acclaimed, with overwhelmingly positive responses from reviewers:
“Far and away one of the best young adult supernatural fantasy novels. Pan is exactly the kind of teen heroine that readers should be standing up and cheering for.”—HorrorNews.net on Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1
“This is without a doubt the essential, authoritative reference book for anything related to the Warren-era Vampirella… There are lots of books out there with good information, but none offers such a broad, all-encompassing look at the history of this character.”—Vampirella of Drakulon (news blog) on From the Stars…a Vampiress: An Unauthorized Guide to Vampirella’s Classic Horror Adventures
“A solid introduction to the subject of world building. The book succeeds in helping the aspiring writer in creating a skeletal framework on which to hang the moving parts required of a believable fictional setting.”—The Gaming Gang on Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination
“A visceral adventure through a world of magic with well-developed characters, dynamic dialogue and a good dose of two-handed sword fights.”—Experience Writing on Harbinger of Darkness
“With a cover that looks like it belongs on the paranormal romance shelf in a bookstore and half a dozen illustrations provided by Eliseu Gouveia, this edition stands a good chance of tempting some younger readers to pick up this classic vampire tale…. I wish I’d picked this book up in seventh grade instead of slogging through Dracula.”—The Gothic Library on Carmilla
With the exception of King Kong (a digital exclusive), all SWC titles are available in print and digital formats, so head over to StarWarp Concepts and check out all the books, comics, and graphic novels we offer. Happy reading!
