Here in the United States, the start of Labor Day Weekend—the unofficial end of the summer season—arrives on September 2nd, which means the days of summer beach reading are just two weeks away from shifting into the pumpkin-spiced world of fall (you might have already noticed the presence of its familiar scent wafting through your favorite coffee and donut shops).
So if you’re seeking an exciting book or two (or more) to read as summer comes to an close, you might want to take a look at the StarWarp Spotlight blog-post series at Pan’s publisher, StarWarp Concepts, in which they shine a spotlight on each of their numerous horror, dark urban fantasy, fantasy adventure, and nonfiction books, not to mention comic books and graphic novels.
From the young-adult thrills of the Pandora Zwieback vampire-war novels and writers/gamers reference book Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination and the comic-book history From the Stars…a Vampiress: An Unauthorized Guide to Vampirella’s Classic Horror Adventures to the Illustrated Classics Carmilla (perfect for fans of vampire fiction!) and the sci-fi adventure A Princess of Mars, StarWarp Concepts has a book that makes every day perfect for reading during the final days of summer—and beyond!
Hey there, owners of comic book shops and independent bookstores around the world! Are you interested in adding titles from Pan’s publisher, StarWarp Concepts, to your shelves? Of course you are, especially with Halloween coming up! Well, here’s how you can do it.
SWC’s in-print titles (as opposed to their e-book exclusives) are all print-on-demand releases available through distributor Ingram Book Group—and POD means they’re never out of print, so they’re always ready to appear on your shelves!
SWC’s ever-growing list of horror and dark fantasy titles ranges from the young-adult thrills of supernatural heroine Pandora Zwieback to the nonfiction horror-comics history From the Stars…a Vampiress: An Unauthorized Guide to Vampirella’s Classic Horror, and from the Illustrated Classic Carmilla to the noirish Chasing Danger: The Case Files of Theron Chase. With horror growing in popularity these days with readers, StarWarp Concepts has a title sure to appeal to your customer base!
And SWC’s books and comics 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 the Steven A. Roman novel 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 the Steven A. Roman nonfiction comics history From the Stars…a Vampiress: An Unauthorized Guide to Vampirella’s Classic Horror Adventures
“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 J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Illustrated Classic novella Carmilla
“Roman demonstrates yet again his ability to write in the voice of a teenage girl without resorting to the petty whining and needless angst that seem to plague a lot of the female teenage character in books today. I would readily and heartily recommend this book to anybody.”—Word of the Nerd on the comic book The Saga of Pandora Zwieback Annual #1
Take a look at their backlist to see what they offer—best done by exploring the StarWarp Spotlight blog-post series from last year, in which they shined a spotlight on each of their horror, dark urban fantasy, fantasy adventure, and nonfiction books, not to mention comic books and graphic novels—and then call Ingram Books at (800) 937-0152 if you don’t already have an account with them. If your store is outside the United States, call (615) 213-5000.
After all, why should Amazon have all the business—and the fun?
