Joe King has been making readers scream with laughter for over two decades through his unique blend of horror and humor. Known as the "Crown Prince of Comedic Horror," Joe masterfully balances spooky thrills with uproarious punchlines in his bestselling books. His gallows humor and witty observations on the absurdity of life enrich his tales of zombies, ghosts, vampires, and other creepy creatures. Though the horrors in Joe's stories are very real, the true monster is human nature itself. Hailing from Peculiar, MO the self-described "funny farm" of entertainers, Joe learned the art of comedy writing by honing his craft at local comedy clubs. But his passion for horror drove him to put his spin on the genre. When he's not writing, you can find Joe King voraciously reading classic horror, watching cheesy B-movies, and sipping coffee at the local comedy club where he occasionally tests out jokes. Like the greatest masters of horror-comedy before him, Joe King understands the thin line between horror and humor, proving that laughs can arrive hand-in-hand with gasps and shrieks!

HAPPY CAMPER by JOE_KING
124-00

Dive headfirst into the technicolor tornado of Trevor Moore's consciousness as he stumbles through the looking glass and into the pulsating heart of Whispering Pines National Forest. Our intrepid psychonaut, armed with nothing but a backpack full of existential questions and a belly full of reality-bending berries, cartwheels through the fractal fringes of perception in this mind-melting camping trip gone cosmically sideways. Reality and hallucination tango on the edge of a quantum knife as Trevor pinballs from one impossible encounter to the next, meeting a vacationing Bigfoot, a stranded alien, a philosophical lizard, a goat-god cult, a bear professor, and a disco-dancing, chainsaw-wielding hero. Is it the berries? The forest? Is the universe itself having a cosmic giggle? The answer, dear camper, is hiding in plain sight, swirling in the bottom of a camp mug filled with existential hot chocolate. HAPPY CAMPER is a tie-dyed tapestry of absurdist adventure, philosophical fun, and interdimensional introspection. It's a vision quest in literary form, a campfire tale told by Timothy Leary to Bill & Ted. So pack your bags, leave your sanity at the trailhead, and prepare for a journey to the center of your mind (and back again). Because sometimes, the only way out is further in.

A VERY GRAVE CHRISTMAS by JOE_KING
680-00

Notoriously cold-hearted horror film critic, Vincent Graves hates everything about mushy Christmas cheer...until one sinister night before Christmas when he's visited by three freakishly festive spirits determined to melt his icy heart - or else!

Can this trio of terminally cheerful spectral emissaries conspire to transform Vincent's venomous views by morning's light? Or will their holiday efforts prove naught but humbug in the eyes of this gleefully grumpy Grinch of a film critic?
