In My Shorts!

My second eBook from Buffalo Avenue Books has just gone online at Smashwords.com and is available for download! It's called In My Shorts: Hitler's Bellhop and Other Short Stories, and looks something like this...

eBook Price: $8.99 USD. 40,570 words. Fiction by Paul Kupperberg, published by Buffalo Avenue Books at Smashwords.com on December 14, 2010. 

Included are three previously published short stories, "Reflected Glory," (from the anthology Superheroes), "Food For the Beast" (from Fear Itself), and "Man Bites Dog" (from Vampires: Dracula and the Undead Legions), as well as three never-before-published pieces:

"Hitler's Bellhop," a story told by a film magazine essay and the lost fragments of a Jerry Lewis screenplay that never was but, really, could have been;

"A Stone for the Grave of Mr. Aronson," a mood piece about a man's last hour of life, set in a lonely graveyard;

"The Zombie King," a piece of flash fiction that takes a Roger Cormanish look at the New Testament.

The cover is courtesy of Kansas City's own Rick Stasi, my pal and graphic artist extraordinaire.

Coming Soon to an eBook Near You!

I'm about to dip my toe into the warm, welcoming electron flow of ePublishing with Two Tales of Atlantis. This little e-volume features two prose short stories using some familiar territory for me: An immortal sorcerer in ancient Atlantis. If you're familiar with my DC Comics series Arion, Lord of Atlantis and squint real hard while reading them, you won't be disappointed, but knowledge of my sordid comic book past isn't required.

The cover was designed and executed by Kansas City's own Rick Stasi, a great friend, Roman, and  countryman! As always, thanks, brother!

It will be uploaded in the next couple of days...and you guys will be the first to know when it's available.

It's A New York Comicon Edition of Capes, Cowls & Costumes!

Actually, the latest installment of my Bookgasm.com column, Capes, Cowls & Costumes has absolutely nothing to do with the New York Comicon, where I am today. Instead, it's about Wonder Woman's appearances in novels and short stories, which is a whole lot more interesting than novels about comic book conventions. Well, in most cases.
