OUT OF THE GARDEN AND OTHER TALES OF THE BARBARIAN KABAR OF EL HAZZAR by Angeline Hawkes

OOTG

OUT OF THE GARDEN AND OTHER TALES OF THE BARBARIAN KABAR OF EL HAZZAR by Angeline Hawkes (trade paperback edition)

In Out of the Garden, Angeline Hawkes delivers tales of swords and sorcery as solid as steel and as sensuous as silk slipping off a slender shoulder. Kabar’s world is wild and often frightening; his author’s imagination doesn’t make his life easy. It does, however, make for a great read.Through brutal landscapes and savage places, the barbarian Kabar of El Hazzar travels an ancient land full of witchery, forces of darkness and foul creatures. What makes a man? Is it wealth, customs and lineage; or is it the weapon in his hand and the courage in his heart? Cold steel meets hot flesh as Kabar fights, conquers and loves his way through primitive and ruthless civilizations ruled by evil kings, malevolent sorcerers and blood-splattered curses. Beasts and monstrosities match wits and swords in this action-packed, gore-drenched, loins-pumping collection of tales of the barbarian from El Hazzar.

–Jeff Mariotte, author of the Age of Conan: Marauders trilogy and City Under the Sand: A Dark Sun novel

By turns eerie, lyrical, adventurous, and philosophical, the stories in Angeline Hawkes’s new collection Out of the Garden are top-notch heroic fantasy, and her protagonist, the barbarian Kabar of El Hazzar, is a compelling character. The title novella from this book is a stunning blend of action, fantasy, and theology. I hope Kabar continues his perilous wanderings for a long time!

– James Reasoner, author of Redemption, Kansas

This Weeks New Comics: Dark Shadows, Transformers, Game of Thrones, Infestation

Hold on to them hats & glasses cuz this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness!

Sorry was at Disneyland last night and Big Thunder was the last ride I went on…

A Game of Thrones issue #5. Dynamite Entertainment 2012.

Storm clouds gather over Westeros in the fifth installment of Daniel Abraham’s gripping adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy masterpiece A Game of Thrones. A childish game gone horribly wrong pits Arya Stark against Prince Joffrey, with Sansa Stark in the middle. But behind youthful rivalries, cold-blooded political intrigue is at work as Queen Cersei uses all her wiles to blunt the influence of Eddard Stark, the Hand of the King. Meanwhile, Lady Catelyn has journeyed to King’s Landing with the blade used in the attempted assassination of her son Bran-evidence that will upset a precarious balance of power. And in Winterfell, a dying Bran takes a mystical journey . . . and faces a fateful choice.

Dark Shadows issue #3. Dynamite Entertainment 2012

There’s trouble ahead for vampire Barnabas Collins as the vengeful spirit of his eternal nemesis Angelique continues to make her presence felt. What links the mysterious statue in the woods to the Collins family, and who among them can Barnabas trust?

TRANSFORMERS: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE issue #1. IDW Publishing 2012

The war for Cybertron is over-now the hard part begins! This first of two new ongoing Transformers series offers an excellent jumping-on point and all-new direction as BUMBLEBEE and his fellow AUTOBOTS struggle to maintain control of a world without OPTIMUS PRIME!

INFESTATION 2 issue #1. IDW Publishing2012.

IDW’s ground-breaking, multi-universe event returns with INFESTATION 2. As with the blockbuster original, this epic invasion will spread throughout the IDW-verse and into many fan-favorite titles. With INFESTATION 2, tentacled Lovecraftian “Old Ones” reach across time and space and threaten to destroy everyone everywhere and everywhen.

I am really excited about the Infestation storyline. The first Infestation crossover was awesome! How can you go wrong with zombies munching their way through Transformers, Ghostbusters, and G.I. Joe.

This time around there is an infestation of the great old ones, the elder gods, the sleepers that dwell in nightmare. See what happens when the elder gods influence the Transformers, G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Eberron (Dungeons & Dragons) and Barrow, Alaska in 30 Days of Night.

Happy Reading!!
