Fango friend and cult ultraviolent horror author Jay Clarke, a.k.a. the brain behind the one and only Michael Slade—first let us know here that the entire Slade library would be slowwwwly made available as e-books via Amazon U.S. and UK. Now he comes to us with a blood-splattered tidal wave of news…including a very nifty exclusive.

First up is the recap that two of Slade’s recent shockers are the latest works to be available via e-book: the church-baiting CRUCIFIED (U.S. and UK) and the Olympics-set abattoir RED SNOW (U.S. and UK). This autumn, expect Slade to e-publish HANGMAN (as a criminal lawyer, Slade/Clark argued the last hanging appeal in the Supreme Court) and BED OF NAILS (cannibals loose at the World Horror Convention, inspired by Slade’s Guest of Honor appearance at WHC 2001 in Seattle). Slade is also now spreading his nightmarish narratives via Facebook and Twitter, where he’s telling the stories behind the stories of his 30-year writing career.

But that’s not all! To celebrate the ongoing e-rollout of the complete “Mountie Noir” Special X Series, Slade is currently rewriting his first two classic novels of mind-bending psychohorror, GHOUL and HEADHUNTER, as new e-books this fall. That’s right…all the sexually depraved death you’ve come to love, updated and pushed further down the deranged spiral.

And speaking of GHOUL, Slade’s blistering 1985 book (which sits on the Horror Writers Association’s Top 40 List and is considered by some to be the ultimate Slade experience) is Slade’s first “shock rock thriller,” researched backstage with Alice Cooper and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. But the 15th Slade tome, coming in 2013, returns to mine the depths of horrific metal and rock ’n’ roll, as it was researched behind the scenes with Slade’s current favorite rockers: the one and only Teutonic terrors…Rammstein!

Don’t believe us? Here’s the proof: Clark/Slade with Rammstein guitarist Paul Landers backstage at a recent show…
