KILLER BE KILLED is a reverse camp slasher novel. Boone Hampton had been dreading this day forever. The day when his baby girl would leave "the nest" to embark into the world on her own. He had hoped this moment wouldn’t come until college, or maybe a rebellious streak in high school, yet here he was, leaving her at a pre-teen summer camp. Boone squeezes his daughter’s hands one last time and lets her go. The day would have been hard enough if it had just ended there. But now the counselors at Camp Green Pines have begun sacrificing the campers to resurrect a long-slumbering demonic entity, and Boone will have to risk everything to avenge his daughter. Killer Be Killed takes the traditional camp serial killer formula and turns it on its head in a Splatterpunk-light homage to the slashers of the 80s with healthy doses of demonic possession and anti-cult related sub-plots cooked in for good measure. Lanyards On. Masks Up. Machetes Out. It's time to play some camp games. "A killing spree to remember. Kick back, forget trying to guess what's coming, and enjoy the carnage!" -Mike Clark; Author of the PATIENCE OF A DEAD MAN trilogy "Just when you think you know the rules, the Slasher genre rises again, more powerful than before. Equal parts homage to the classics and a road map to the future of the genre, Sterling's KILLER BE KILLED is frightening and funny, horrifying, and full of heart as it endlessly morphs and evolves, bringing threats both personal and universal. This is not to be missed." -James Sabata; Author of FAT CAMP and THE CASSOWARY

I Kill Monsters by Dennis Liggio

The Nowak Brothers Mikkel and Szandor kill monsters. So what if they're making it up as they're going along? How much do you need to know to bash in a zombie's head with a lead pipe or slice a ghoul with an internet-bought katana? They may in fact have no clue what they're doing. But if you need someone to go down into the sewers to clear out some monsters, figure out why everyone in your neighborhood is getting bitten, or if you swear you really saw a zombie and you don't know who to call, then call them. They'll show up in their van of makeshift weapons, gear, and cleaning supplies to investigate your problem. They may be twenty-somethings with their own issues, but when it comes to monsters they know what they're doing. They probably have no clue what they're doing. That has never stopped them before. Hired by a woman from the rich side of town who believes she's being stalked by monsters, the two brothers think they've finally gotten an easy job that will pay well. But as they follow the clues, nothing adds up. Kidnappings, jackbooted commandos, and mysterious emails are just the beginning. Soon they find themselves involved in something bigger than monsters. It's anybody's guess whether they'll come through it alive, much less get paid.
