Another review for SKULL CATHEDRAL

It's always a pleasure when one of your favorite writers gives something a good review, let alone something you're about to publish:

"In their on-going mission to warp (if not destroy) the minds of everyone who comes into contact with their publications, Novello Publishers unleash Tim Waggoner's 'Skull Cathedral,' a surrealist black comedy that reads like a head-on collision between Joe Lansdale (of The Drive-In period) and Ramsey Campbell, with perhaps a touch of Harvey Pekar thrown in for good measure. In short: it's a story that will test your mettle and make you feel dirty every time you laugh -- and despite the dark subject matter and Waggoner's deft handling of some tragic elements, you will laugh. Novello Publishers really ought to be stopped, but I will have no part in that -- not as long as they publish material as challenging and memorable as 'Skull Cathedral.'"
-- 5-time Bram Stoker Award winner Gary A. Braunbeck, author of Mr. Hands and Coffin County

Pre-order info. should be up soon.

First reviews for SKULL CATHEDRAL by Tim Waggoner

My press' bizarro imprint, SQUID SALAD PRESS, is proud to release the first two reviews for our July release, SKULL CATHEDRAL by Tim Waggoner. We'll have one more review posted shortly.

"Toddler cannibalism, a man with assholes for eyes, a raft made of human skin ... this bizarro horror tale is extremely fucked up in the best possible way. Highly recommended." - Carlton Mellick III, author of ADOLF IN WONDERLAND

"Tim Waggoner is insane! It's like he drinks rocket fuel and shoots streams of fire from his fingertips. Extremely bizarre and magnificently entertaining." -Andersen Prunty, author of JACK AND MR. GRIN


Cover art and pre-order information coming soon.
