James Reasoner Reviews ATOMIC WEREWOLVES AND MAN-EATING PLANTS

"You get stories about vampire bats, vampire tarantulas, giant lizards, man-eating trees (by Robert Moore Williams, the veteran SF and Western pulpster), devil worshippers, virgin sacrifices, crazed chicken choppers (a truly weird but good story), mad doctors, evil Nazis (but I repeat myself), and a really good Korean War/Civil War story that reminded me of the great Haunted Tank comic book series. Add some fine essays and introductions by Mike Chomko, Stefan Dziemianowicz, and editors Deis and Doyle, and you’ve got one of the best volumes so far in the Men’s Adventure Library. I had a wonderful time reading Atomic Werewolves and Man-Eating Plants, and I give it a very high recommendation."

"I had two things that people hardly ever have in their life: time and money," he said. "I decided I just needed to see more of the gay United States, so I set off on a trip. I started April 1, 1981."

Why Our Books' Cover Prices Are Going Up

This sucks. 

Our distributor is compelling us to adjust our wholesale pricing in a way that knocks most of our books out of profitability. This is not a change we welcome, and we have no say in the matter. We have to raise our prices, or our books lose their distribution. 

At the same time, despite our books’ cover prices going up, our per-book profits will actually be reduced. So we will actually earn less, even as our books cost our readers more

You read that right: We are being forced to raise our prices, yet somehow we’ll still earn less on each book sold. 

I think this is what they used to call “the new math.” 

This price increase will primarily affect readers who buy our books via Amazon. So if you’re a New Texture reader who prefers to buy from Amazon, the time to fill any gaps on your New Texture bookshelf is now; the cover prices on our books are about to go up.

Current prices should remain in effect until this time next month (October). After that, everything will cost a few dollars more, while we earn a few dollars less. You can order our books from Amazon by clicking their covers, running down the the right-hand column of this site.

As ever, thank you for your support.

JD Doyle interviewed on Left of Str8 Show

From host Scott Fullerton:

"Today my guest is author and archivist JD Doyle, calling in from Houston, Texas. JD has created an amazing archive of LGBTQ songs, artists, and Houston notables that has been cataloged by the US Library of Congress because it is such an exhaustive history of our LGBTQ culture. Today our main topic is his new book, 1981: My Gay American Road Trip. You all know I love me a good road trip and this book has it all; over 140 pictures, 300 pages and 28 states. It's a great read and snapshot into the early pre-AIDS panic, with a powerful postscript about the effects of the deadly virus since then."
