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 not be the last.

MURDER SHE LAUGHED

This book will keep you up at night… unwilling to stop reading, desperately in need to find out who survives, who gets away with the vilest of acts, and who walks away without a whisper of suspicion. Or you’ll simply lie in bed, staring into the darkness… wondering, dreading, unable to find relief even in the privacy of your own thoughts. The terrors, manmade or otherwise, are relentless in a world where blood, and alliances no matter how loyal or grudging, are cheap. Whom can you trust when surrounded by strangers with unknown intentions? Or completely alone in a landscape of peril? How confident are you of your own resourcefulness amid a maze of killers? Long lost tales of the famous and infamous dubiously light the way to your escape, in this nerve-rattling anthology. Sherlock Holmes faces his own unending nightmare in 'The Sleeper Rises,' and the forever elusive Zodiac Killer resurfaces to solve, and keep hidden, his own identity in 'Mr. A, Alias Mr. Z'… plus other spine shivering tales of horrible revelation and mind-bending visions of mysteries past and future. Stay awake! Beware of what lurks just around that dark corner.

YOU CAN RUN

"They are beyond anything you can do... except run." – 'Henry' (last known words)

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.

Plus, don't creep past Rob's latest — so funny it's scary:

THE FUNNIEST GUY IN THE CASKET

Oliver Akers thought he was the worst stand-up comic in Hollywood. That is until he saw the act of a guy named Joey Lou Dillerbacher… along with the rest of the Dillerbacher showbiz clan. It only gnawed at him more, that they got gigs despite being awful. Gig after gig after gig – they are so under-talented and over-rewarded, they'd p.o. the Pope. Even worse, Oliver suddenly finds himself on a relentless loop crossing their path! On a multi-state road trip yet. With his own career going south fast, Oliver must somehow pull his funny out of freefall to survive, physically and emotionally – especially when he stumbles onto the secret side mission of these horrible, but well-connected, performers, and becomes one of their targets.

Rob Foster is the author of other well-reviewed novels in the humorous, science fiction and superhero genres. He lives and writes somewhere in the mysterious mountains of central California, near Sequoia National Forest.

We didn't forget this time!

No, this year we kept our heads, and didn't get carried away! We remembered how important Lenny is to the Fosterical Library, considering a number of our most important titles are... well they're ABOUT him! Browse, shop and enjoy these and the rest of the stable of great reads at Fosterical; more are coming. All titles are available in paperback and e-book for your Kindle®, Nook®, android book app... even your phone. Cheer up, ya shmuck — help's on the way! And oh yeah... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LENNY!
MR. BRUCE, DO YOU SWEAR?

The Fosterical Library hasn't been sweeter on anyone than Lenny Bruce! There's not one, but two books to enjoy – and even a chapter about him in our book on Ernie Kovacs – browse that too!

We just used every version of "to" in one sentence!

Since today is the anniversary of the iconic rebel-rouser's birth – and since we f'ed up and missed doing this promo on his birthday last year – we're plugging 'em both here:

In the first, Lenny Bruce, the most important stand-up comedian of the 20th century, gets one more chance to defend his life on the witness stand. And you are the jury. Bruce's struggle for his right to speak his mind on stage brought about an evolution in stand-up comedy and transformed the way we interpret our freedoms under the First Amendment of the Constitution. Every American should know his story. A stage play by Rob Foster, "Mr. Bruce, Do You Swear?" brings Bruce and the legal battle he waged back to life, recreating some of his legendary, status-quo threatening comedy along the way! Sit back and prepare to have your eyes opened and your mind blown, by the tumultuous life of one of American culture's true originals... ya shmuck! The book includes the entire text of the play, plus original review notices, author's commentary and a photo-strewn biographical chapter on the man himself, Lenny Bruce!

and there's
IN THEIR FACES: COMEDY OUTSIDE THE BOX, UP TO LENNY BRUCE

In the other, the third volume of The Legendry Laughter Series, is about some of the classic comedy masters who spent their careers pushing the envelope of their profession - turning heads, raising eyebrows, and reinventing the craft of laughmaking - up to the era when one particular comic turned it on its ear. Need a laugh-break? Relax, pull up a whoopie-cushion and enjoy!

Each is valuable in paperback and e-reader format. Order via AmazonSmile and a portion of your purchase total will be donated to the charity of your choice, shmuck. Now there's some joy you can create yourself!

The Aristocrats!

So this Indy Author walks into a Talent Scout's office... "Boy, do I have some great reads for you!" "Let's see what ya got," the Agent says. The Author spreads his coat wide and out tumble the scariest collection of odd Halloween treats.
