There's something in the water... Described as "skin-crawlingly visceral", this horror short from author Lex Vranick is now available for the first time as a stand-alone! THE BODY follows young sisters Emma and Charlie, who get far more than they bargained for when they rush to investigate an eerie discovery on the shore of the local beach. They may not know what lurks beyond the waves, but their grandfather certainly does. Blending deep-sea lore and small town legends, THE BODY is sure to make you think twice before dipping a toe in the water.

Story Featured: Rockaway Beach
We asked writers from all over the world to choose a Ramones song and write a story inspired by that song . The resulting 24 stories contained in this anthology are as varied as the songs themselves ranging through the Crime, Horror and Music genres from writers from all across the world - some of whom knew or met or even played with The Ramones. For example the anthology kicks off with a first-hand account written by David Noonan (DT Graves - drummer & founder member of punk stalwarts The Cryptkeeper Five) where he recounts the night he backed up Joey Ramone on the drums - from there the anthology blasts off into a world of Ramones tales & stories that just keep building and building with an intensity that mirrors the songs themselves.
Add to that an Introduction written by Fahrenheit Press founder and life long Ramones fanatic Chris McVeigh + a preface by author & LA Punk Queen Brenda Perlin and it's fair to say that this book really is something special and a definite must have for any Ramones fan.
