“Do you what you want,” James suggested. “But it may be worth learning why a man named Slade is marching armies through the Hadean Hills.” As usual, he thought of practical matters first.
“We’ll be there, Sir Edwin,” Meyer added. “We might leave early, for Nathan’s bed time, but we’ll at least make an appearance. We’ve no other plans for the evening.”
“And I don’t either,” I said. “So I suppose I’ll attend.”
And that was that. I would be going to this dinner Selwyn Slade and Titan Amalgamated were throwing at the Thunder Lizard Lounge, to see what exactly this businessman was doing on Acheron Island. I had the terrible feeling that there was something lying in wait for me, a hungry predator preparing itself to strike. Yes, for all my experience, I could not detect when a deinonychus is stealthily approaching me –or when other dangers are drawing near.

Stein & Candle Dective Agency: Cold Wars, by Michael Panush
(http://curiosityquills.com/stein-candle-vol-2/)
A wealthy Hawaiian hotelier is chewed to death by sharks – in his penthouse office. A traveling salesman goes missing – in a shady New England town full of monstrous fishmen. A new casino gets supernaturally good luck in Vegas – thanks to ancient Egyptian magic.
These are the cases taken by the Stein & Candle Detective Agency. But sometimes, arcane evil goes back a long way and a dangerous force from deep in the past of Stein’s family is about rise. Weatherby and Mort will put everything they have into stopping it – and it might not be enough.
Stein & Candle Dective Agency: Red Reunion, by Michael Panush
(http://curiosityquills.com/stein-candle-vol-3/)
For Weatherby Stein and Morton Candle – private detectives specializing in the paranormal – life normally isn’t easy. They deal with cases that pit them against ferocious demons in the Tokyo underworld, Satan-worshipping teenagers in a seemingly normal suburb and lizard-men in a Lake Tahoe lounge, and they still manage to come out on top. But now one of Weatherby’s ancient ancestors, the villainous Viscount Wagner Stein, has been resurrected and is looking to stir up trouble – and he’s not alone.
Weatherby, Morton and their allies must make a stand to stop the evils of the past from corrupting of the future – and only one side will emerge alive.
Jurassic Club: Dinosaur Jazz, by Michael Panush

When ruthless American businessman, Selwyn Slade, brings an army of corporate cronies and modern industrial power to conquer this world from the past, it’s up to Sir Edwin to protect these prehistoric lands.
Its Jazz Age meets the Mesozoic Age in a world where cave men, gangsters, hunters, zeppelins, pirates, warlords and dinosaurs clash for a chance of survival. All that and more is waiting for you in Dinosaur Jazz, a tale of high adventure in a prehistoric world.
El Mosaico: Scarred Souls, by Michael Panush
(http://curiosityquills.com/el-mosaico-vol-1/)
Clayton Cane’s hideously scarred face has earned him a dreaded nickname–El Mosaico. But Cane’s no normal gunslinger–a patchwork man, sewn together from pieces of corpses and given life by black magic. And the blistering gunfights, heartless outlaws and legendary monsters that Cane encounters are far from normal.
In these ferocious stories of outlaw violence, Clayton Cane is pitted against the weirdest the Wild West has to offer. He encounters cannibal cultists, ferocious Beast Men, and vengeful spirits, while struggling to make peace with his own nature, riding the wild, dangerous trail of the bounty hunter.
El Mosaico: Road to Hellfire, by Michael Panush
(http://curiosityquills.com/el-mosaico-vol-2/)
As a bounty hunter, mercenary and soldier of fortune, Clayton Cane takes on the weird jobs that bring him into contact with creatures and forces as strange as him, ranging from monstrous rats in a New York slum to bloodthirsty vampires in a secluded mountain pass.
But Cane has always longed for something different – an end to living from day to day and bullet to bullet. And in the town of Hellfire, Texas, he just might find it. The battle for Hellfire – and for Clayton Cane – is about to begin.
