European adventures, ensnared in a desperate crossfire between monstrous oppressors: the undead assassins of the Dark Company; and mysterious horrors residing in remote caves of the snowbound Pyrenees… The novella «Dark Venture» – the most intense, action-packed and classic-pulp-worthy Gonji tale in the canon.

Now facing deadly peril during a bizarre and ghastly sea voyage; caught in the clutches of a hell where corrupted spells of evil magic go to die… ALSO included is the essay «The GONJI Odyssey»—the definitive chronicle of the series’ creation and publishing history… PLUS, a generous preview of the coming NEW Gonji novel: the audacious origin tale of Gonji’s world – BORN OF FLAME AND STEEL! "People will not know what hit them when they read 'Dark Venture.' It’s one of the most exciting (and gruesomely bonkers) sword-&-sorcery stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading." –Fletcher Vredenburgh, Black Gate Magazine "One of the most original characters in heroic fantasy returns in all-new adventures that are truly epic. The return of Gonji Sabatake is a cause for epic celebration." –Joe Bonadonna, MAD SHADOWS

The John Maclay MEGAPACK®

John Maclay

From the publisher's introduction: "I first became aware of John Maclay not as a writer, but as a publisher – of the now-classic «Masques» horror anthology series, edited by the late, great J.N. Williamson, and a number of other books. When the original Masques appeared, I remember looking at the spine and noting that it was published a company called Maclay that I had never heard of before. But that name stuck, and soon I began noting John Maclay's stories in various anthologies and magazines. He – like many of the dark fantasists who emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s – had a distinctive voice, very different from the fantasists who came before. He still writes that way, fusing horror, fantasy, and suspense (often with an erotic element). "Over the years, John has steadily built up an impressing body of work, and I am delighted that he accepted my invitation to contribute a volume to the MEGAPACK® series. So here are 15 modern classics of dark fiction. Enjoy!" Included are: NEW YORK NIGHT A YOUNGER WOMAN LYNN KARI THE ONE THING TO FEAR WIDOWED TOM RUDOLPH'S LAST TAPE STARDOM MAX THE HOLE WHO WALKS AT NIGHT THE GREEN GLASS BOTTLE AN IRON MAIDEN LATE LAST NIGHT IF IT’S ALL THE SAME TO YOU If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see more of the 280+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction – and much, much more!
