THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW June, 2011 Reviews

We've been quiet---but BUSY!

2011-05-31T20:21:00.000-07:00

Since releasing our first chapbook in 2005, NOVELLO PUBLISHERS has released a book or two every year since. However, we most likely will not release a new title until early 2012 due to several factors, the biggest being financial.

We recently read a novel that we're considering publishing, and have also read 2 novellas that tickled our funny bones. As soon as we decide on our next release you'll read all about it here...please stay tuned!

ALSO: Our June updates over at THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW will be posted shortly.

New old-school Fanzine in the works...SALLY PINUP update

2011-02-12T12:57:00.000-08:00

Novello Publishers began publishing THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW as an old-school, Xeroxed-70s/80s-styled fanzine. in 2008, THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW became an e-zine due to paper and postage costs.

BUT---as those who create 'zines know, there's always an ITCH to produce a fanzine. We attempted to do a one-shot film/book/music review zine titled ANTIBACTERIAL POPE in 2010 but it never came to fruition.

This year, we're hoping to have an issue out by the summer. Stay tuned and try not to lose too much sleep . . .

Some advanced praise for SALLY PINUP:

"SALLY PINUP is one heck of an entertaining, interesting, and disturbing story that will take readers into a thought provoking, if not mind blowing, journey into the mind of a haunted man. "

-Horrorworld.org

"Raymond Chandler meets Raymond Carver—it's a very strange universe indeed. Bizarro has never been so minimalist, or so engaging."

—Nick Mamatas, author of MOVE UNDER GROUND and SENSATION

"SALLY PINUP is a dazzling excursion into literary surrealism, fully worthy of the darkest nightmares of Kafka or Borges. T.M. Wright is brilliant."

--Christopher Conlon, Bram Stoker Award finalist for MIDNIGHT ON MOURN STREET

"T.M. Wright's SALLY PINUP is a sly, subtle, stylish tale of terror that will pin you to the page and keep you spellbound."

--Tom Piccirilli, author of Shadow Season

"Surreal, disturbing and throughly mind-blowing. SALLY PINUP is nothing short of brilliant."

-Gina Ranalli, author of PRAISE THE DEAD and SUICIDE GIRLS IN THE AFTERLIFE

New Blurb and a GREAT New Review for SALLY PINUP

2010-08-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

"Raymond Chandler meets Raymond Carver—it's a very strange universe indeed. Bizarro has never been so minimalist, or so engaging."—Nick Mamatas, author of MOVE UNDER GROUND and SENSATION.

The following review is courtesy of www.horrorworld.org :

Sally Pinup, by T. M. Wright; Novello Publishers; 2010; 90 pgs.

A few months ago I read T. M. Wrights, Blue Canoe, and now after reading Sally Pinup, I can’t help wondering just who the hell T. M. Wright is.

Is he (as he describes his main character in Sally Pinup) a well intentioned, somewhat overweight, fairly intelligent, though not-at-all imaginative, person living a quiet life in a mid-size city in northern New York State who just happens to write thought provoking, though somewhat bizarre novels? Or is he a former hippie, extremely intelligent, who might have done one too many acid trips in his early years and is experiencing flashbacks that manifests itself in some truly thought provoking, though somewhat bizarre novels?

But I think I’m wasting my time trying to figure out who T. M. Wright is. After being scolded by another author once when I tried to do the same with him, I realize that you should never confuse the author’s work with the author himself. But you know what? In T. M. Wrights case, there’s something about his fiction that makes you want to bring out the psychoanalyst in you, his work is just too compelling not to do so.
