The Crabian Heart by Erik Hofstatter - updates

amazon.co.uk  £9.99
amazon.com $12.99

"The Crabian Heart protects from inevitable heartaches.  It's a story of young love and perhaps, more importantly, an immigrant's tale.

It is a story well-told with beautiful prose...

In addition to the main novella, there's a bonus short story from Erik, called Fountain of Drowned Memories.

Erik Hofstatter is not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects.  Between the stories in this brief collection, he takes on both immigration and dementia with aplomb.

Recommended." Frank Michaels Errington

"It’s as easy getting settled into this story as your favorite chair, but don’t count on it being nearly as comfortable. Erik Hofstatter quickly sets a tone of unease, uncertainty and struggle for young boy in a new country... This was a great read with great characters and it was so well told." The Scary Reviews

To all who have supported us over the past three years!

"When I started writing seven years ago and rejections piled up, people told me that I was wasting my time, that I should give up. Today I'm proving them wrong with my first hardback. Don't listen to anyone but yourself." Erik Hofstatter

Haunted Grave & Other Stories by Ezeiyoke Chukwunonso reviewed by the British Fantasy Society

Sledge-Lit November 25th - & Parallel Universe Publications

David A. Riley and Jim Pitts went to Sledge-Lit yesterday, with a 5.30 am start off and a journey beset with roadworks and sleet! Still we got there on time and set up our stand for Parallel Universe Publications. Like every other dealer there it was, unfortunately, a very poor day for sales, but, on the plus side, it was a great opportunity to meet up with old friends and new, including Mike Chinn, Eric Ian Steele, CC Adams, Alex Davis, and Ash Hartwell, whose new novel, Tip of the Iceberg, I'm reading at the moment.
