RETURN TO DUNWICH

"Evil is reborn. Henry Armitage, grandson of the man who vanquished the cosmic anti-deity Yog Sothoth a century ago, finds himself at Miskatonic University, in search of the mysterious Necronomicon... after surveillance cameras at his own Boston College reveal their copy being stolen – by someone bearing an unnerving resemblance to historical descriptions of Wilbur Whateley, thought to be long dead. Armitage’s fears double, when he discovers a neo-satanic faction of the U.S. Military exists in an underground annex below Miskatonic. They have located the Sleeper of R’lyeh – Cthulhu – and plan to waken, and weaponize him, to pull mankind back to the dark age of ethereal galactic rule upon the Earth! Henry Armitage must prevent the redawning of an evil from beyond the cosmic veil, aided by a monster his grandfather battled, and a rogue group of Miskatonic faculty! Rob Foster creates a modern-day Lovecraftian nightmare – soaked in future technology and ancient blood. The rational and the incredible collide in unholy battle; a tale that will keep you awake, with the lights on – to the last word, which may or may not be."

An indy author with the balls to be a little batty...


That got your attention, did it?

You're the type that would appreciate well-written books with something a little different, than what you'd find in the 'usual suspects' on the so-called bestseller list.

Those authors have been known to get their rich friends to buy multiple copies – tch, truckloads of copies – just to boost their sales figures. You won't find such shenanigans going on at the Fosterical Library.

Why not? Well, for one thing, Foster has few friends – rich or not. But his books certainly have fans!

NO EXIT

It may share its title with a number of better-known works, but if you enjoy science fiction mystery with a twist, you ought to give this voracious volume a look.

Journalist Michael Arc mysteriously disappeared in 2003. In the years following, all written and photographic evidence of his existence began to disappear as well. Before he vanished, he was working on the bizarre topic of time travel and certain nefarious forces who may be using it to alter the past and create a new future that favors their evil. Evil like the Allies’ loss of World War II, like a certain thwarted assassination attempt in Dallas, and other historical game-changing events! Arc’s secret files have now been discovered! Astonishing tales of chrono-chaos; there's historical chicanery, alien agendas, confused scientists, mysterious strangers… even a dinosaur!

If they drop the big one tomorrow, you won't sweat it, having survived the terrifying tale contained in…


YOU CAN RUN: A Horror Novella


Who are they? What are they? The world of supernatural lore knows them only as “marchers.” Ancient ethereal predators from beyond the veil. For centuries they have hunted humans, silently, relentlessly. With no concept of mercy, they cannot be pleaded with, and pursue their victims to the death – those whom by unholy mischief or betrayal, become marked. Once a marcher has latched on, the hunted have only one option – to run, for as long as possible, with a desperation to pass the mark onto some other unwitting soul, and hope the new victim can as well, lest the mark fall back to them after that person is caught and devoured. Troy Terrill, a young upstart in the game of paranormal investigation, finds himself the only hope of not one, but two cursed people with marchers on their trail. Can he rid them of their pursuing abominations? Can anyone? Don’t dwell upon the answer too deeply; the act of pondering a marcher gives it your scent...

PLAN 10 FROM OUTER SPACE: THE FINAL SOLUTION

9 TIMES they have traversed the dark cosmos to our world on missions of conquest and destruction – once even attempting to vanquish us with an army of our own dead! 9 TIMES they have have been turned back by courageous humans hanging on by luck and wits alone! AND NOW... From out of the deepest, murkiest bowels of space, they return for one last gasp at total dominance and annihilation! Can yet another brave band of Earthlings thwart the ultimate deadly challenge from the stars? Can your heart stand the shocking, once hidden account of the rest of the nightmarish story, based on sworn testimony...? Your stupid minds! It's the unspeakable sequel exploding out of the void, with cosmic terror... PLAN 10 FROM OUTER SPACE: THE FINAL SOLUTION!

There they are, brave reader. One or all, if you prefer – they’re not that pricey. In paperback, or e-reader. On Amazon or your preferred online book vault. Browse and buy with ease, using the above links.

RETURN TO DUNWICH
A hundred years ago on a mountain top near Dunwich, Massachusetts, Doctor Henry Armitage successfully banished the evil godling Yog Sothoth to a dimension away from Earth. Now his grandson must perform a similar act, or die trying, when he learns that a Satanic cult within the Military has set up shop below Miskatonic University. They have located Cthulhu's tomb beneath a Vermont lake bed, and with the Necronomicon in their possession, plan to awaken and weaponize him. Only Henry Armitage III, and a handful of Miskatonic faculty, know that the plan is doomed, and will result in the end of humanity as the dominant species on the planet.

THE FUNNIEST GUY IN THE CASKET
Oliver Akers thinks he's the worst stand-up comedian in Los Angeles, that is until he sees a guy named Joey Lou Dillerbacher – a walking bar of anti-matter that couldn't get a chuckle out of sugared-up 3rd grader, who somehow gets gig after gig. Oliver's ire is doubled when he discovers there's an entire 'showbiz family' of Dillerbachers who also strive in the industry despite being incompetent, immoral goons. And on top of that, fate keeps them crossing his path as his own career sputters and nosedives. When Oliver finally abandons his career and takes a job as a cross-country chauffeur, he is dogged on the highway by... The Dillerbachers, who've decided to take their act on the road... but not to entertain. Now Oliver must make up his own punchlines and fight back when he realizes he's a TARGET. You'll never believe the Dillerbacher family secret is... deadly.
In the tradition of Foster's original novel Just Wrong, A Novel About Hollywood, an outrageous comedy of errors, wits and questionable sanity that skewers stereotypes and exposes the dark underbelly of 'the business.'
