There’s no monster under your bed, but there are several in this book.

The debut short story collection from "Gerald Barkley Rocks" author Kyle A. Massa, Monsters at Dusk offers answers to several important questions, such as:

- Do vampires use Snapchat?
- What happens when a demonic cat declares war on God and Satan?
- Is someone drinking your memories? If so, are they tasty?
- If a mad scientist offers to build you a set of wings, should you accept?
- Can sports franchises set in epic fantasy worlds make better hiring decisions than real ones?
- How would the American legal system handle werewolves?
- What is a Megrim and why does it keep stealing children?

Balancing fantasy, science fiction, horror, and humor, each of the collection’s 10 stories concerns a different monster—some familiar, some original, some literal, some metaphorical, all strange and wonderful in their own way.

If your life was a song, what would it sound like? In the case of Gerald Barkley, it would be an elevator jingle.

Barkley’s never been the most memorable guy. Even as a longtime Los Angeles homicide detective, people tend to forget him. And when his death draws near in the form of a rare blood disease, he has to wonder…will anyone notice when he’s gone?

Add to that Barkley’s latest case: The mysterious death of Julian Strange, a rock-and-roll icon with an obsession for cats. Renowned as a wild performer and a dabbler in the odd, Strange procured a copy of the world’s oldest song. What does it have to do with his death? And what will Gerald Barkley learn from it all?

The debut novel from speculative fiction author Kyle A. Massa, “Gerald Barkley Rocks” examines music, fame, mortality, and the strangeness that composes them all. One part detective story, one part rock-and-roll elegy, and one part supernatural comedy, this book might just change your outlook on life—and death.

Religion is a funny thing. Especially when you accidentally create your own.

Eccentric young writer Zeggara “Egg” East has done just that, much to the chagrin of her devout mother. Egg’s new religion is called “Penguinism” and it’s proving far more popular than anyone—even the immortal Ageless—could’ve imagined. And the thing about deities is, they don’t appreciate a rival dogma.

Now everyone’s choosing sides in the coming conflict, including a tea-slurping tyrant, a guy with 12 gifts, and the God of Waste Management. So when Egg and her mother pick opposing factions, Egg has to wonder…can they reconcile, or will religion keep them apart forever?

Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore, and Douglas Adams, Eggs for the Ageless is a comic fantasy novel about family, faith, and waddling—not necessarily in that order.
