Awesome,
The FANTASY BOOK CRITIC was very good to me this month and did a kickass interview with me about my books STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON, CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON, and LUCIFER’S STAR. They asked a lot of really good questions and I got a chance to talk about details I wouldn’t normally be able to talk about.
Check it out if you want to learn more about my books!
Hey folks,
I’m incredibly pleased to announce that CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON is now available on audiobook for your listening pleasure. Better still, Jeffrey Kafer, who made the Supervillainy Saga and Esoterrorism so good will be lending his voice to one last series of mine. I think this is probably our best work and fans of post-apocalypse fiction, science fiction, horror, and the Cthulhu Mythos will all enjoy it.
“Under an alien sky where gods of eldritch matter rule, the only truth is revenge.”
CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON is the story of a world 100 years past the rise of the Old Ones which has been reduced to a giant monster-filled desert and pockets of human survivors (along with Deep Ones, ghouls, and other “talking” monsters).
John Henry Booth is a ranger of one of the largest remaining city-states when he’s exiled for his group’s massacre and suspicion he’s “tainted.” Escaping with a doctor who killed her husband, John travels across the Earth’s blasted alien ruins to seek the life of the man who killed his friends.
It’s the one thing he has left.
I’m a huge fan of the Fantasy Book Critic because they’re my number 1# source of interesting new independent (and not so independent) book reviews. So it was a real honor that they took the time out to give CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON and STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON a once-over. Better still, they liked both novels and had a lot of interesting thoughts on both.
Jeffrey Kafer is awesome. The man who has done my first three Supervillainy Saga books (The Rules of Supervillainy, The Games of Supervillainy, The Secrets of Supervillainy) as well as my Esoterrorism novel is also doing Cthulhu Armageddon. What if Cthulhu Armageddon? It is a post-apocalypse action adventure set in the future of the world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. Basically, what if you crossed Mad Max and Call of Cthulhu.

In what is almost certainly the first (and very possibly last) time I’ll be headlining an article also announcing a Stargate-SG1 novel, Crossroad Press announced the release of STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON and CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON after HALL OF THE TWO TRUTHS by Susannah Parker Sinard.
AVAILABLE NOW – Stargate SG1-29 – Hall of the Two Truths by Susannah Parker Sinard, the newest full-length novel in the Stargate tie-ins.
Also, welcome to CROSSROAD PRESS author C. T. Phipps, bestselling creator of the Super Villainy series with two brand new novels – both of which will spawn a new series of their own… Straight Outta Fangton – a snarky, comic vampire novel and Cthulhu Armageddon – in a world torn apart by Elder Gods, a few pockets of humanity survive… and fight for that survival.. wild west Lovecraftian fiction by a rising star…
Find these and more than 1500 other Crossroad Press selections at Amazon.com … C. T. Phipps’ work is available there exclusively.
Find the majority of our books also at Barnes & Noble – Apple – and Kobo…
I especially like the best-selling part since I’m pleased to say The Supervillainy Saga’s three novels have all been up to Number 3# in two of Audible’s best-selling categories.

Hey guys,
I have to thank the fine folk at Crossroad Press because they are absolute machines in getting things out in a speedy manner. Not only did they get out STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON in record time but they’ve also managed to release CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON – my post apocalypse Western set in H.P. Lovecraft’s world.

It’s the one thing he has left.
What is CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON? It is my attempt to answer what happens next after the rising of the Great Old Ones. Poor Cthulhu has had his takeover prevented hundreds of times so it’s nice to visit the world which he’s unambiguously triumphant (not that he noticed humanity trying to resist).
Our heroes dwell in the shadow of a world destroyed by monsters where they eck out a living and try to figure out the meaning of it all when everything seems meaningless. Also, shoot monsters in the face. It’s my idea of what happens when Fallout, Mad Max, and the Dark Tower meet Lovecraft.
Hey folks,
Great news! I didn’t expect it to be released so soon but Crossroad Press (and specifically, it’s Macabre Ink division) has released STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON this week. STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON if you remember is my horror comedy urban fantasy novel series where I attempt to send up the supernatural the way I did comics in the Supervillainy Saga.
Peter Stone is a poor black vampire who is wondering where his nightclub, mansion, and sports car is. Instead, he is working a minimum wage job during the night shift as being a vampire isn’t all that impressive in a world where they’ve come out to mortals.
Exiled from the rich and powerful undead in New Detroit, he is forced to go back when someone dumps a newly-transformed vampire in the bathroom of his gas station’s store. This gets him fangs-deep in a plot of vampire hunters, supernatural revolutionaries, and a millennium-old French knight determined to wipe out the supernatural.
Sometimes, it just doesn’t pay to get out of the coffin.
I hope people will pick up a copy!

H.P. Lovecraft and I have a complicated relationship. Just about everything he believed is something I don’t but we share a mutual love of monsters, science-fiction, and fantasy.
One thing I do admire about Howard Phillips, though, is that he wasn’t possessive about his toys and allowed many writers to play with them. Cthulhu Armageddon is my attempt to honor that legacy with a story set in the world where the Old Ones have won and mankind has to deal with the fact it’s no longer master of the Earth.
It’s not a comedic novel, though there’s one or two moments of whimsy, but a horror novel set in the Weird West of humanity’s final nights. I think fans of Lovecraft, my writing, and those who love genre mash-ups will get a kick out of this one. Certainly, Crossroad Press is nice enough to publish it.
COMING SOONER THAN YOU THINK
Hey folks,
Today has been an absolutely fabulous week for me as I’ve got a bunch of wonderful reviews as well as a few announcements to make. I hope everyone enjoys what I have to share and I think it is the start of something wonderful (which is a lovely way of saying I’m with a new publishing house with more books coming out).
The first bit of news is I’ve begun a relationship with Crossroad Press, publisher of the audiobooks for authors like Clive Barker and Brian Lumley, who will be doing STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON, CTHULHU APOCALYPSE, and LUCIFER’S STAR. They’re a machine and basically have readied my books for release amazingly fast.
STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON is a comedic vampire novel which I think is probably my best work since The Rules of Supervillainy. At least in terms of making a reader laugh their ass off. Fans of that book are going to love it and we’ll have a release date soon.

CTHULHU ARMAGEDDON is a book I never expected to see print as it was my first novel which I’d rewritten three or four times trying to get the right voice for it. Then, amazingly, the right one came to me and I created my post-apocalyptic sci-fi western horror novel set in the aftermath of the Great Old Ones’ destruction of the Earth.

LUCIFER’S STAR isn’t quite ready for a reveal but is in the process of editing now. I look forward to sharing it as well.
I’m hoping Jeffrey Kafer will continue his amazing talent at doing the voice work for these novels as he’s done for The Supervillainy Saga and Esoterrorism. The ebooks will be released first for them, followed by the paperbacks, with audiobooks released last.
Stuff about my books online
Beauty in Ruins review of The Rules of Supervillainy
Bob Milnes is one of my favorite reviewers on the web and everyone should check out his Beauty in Ruins website. Here, he gives a great review of THE RULES OF SUPERVILLAINY novel. He’s not really a big fan of superhero literature so the fact he sings my book’s praises is really high, well, praise.
My World…in words and pages review of Esoterrorism
One of my other favorite reviewers is Melissa as she has done me an immense number of favors reading all of my books. I also give her website credit for announcing my cover for STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON. I love her review of ESOTERRORISM here and hope everyone checks it out.
Audiobook Reviewer reviews Esoterrorism and The Rules of Supervillainy
The Audiobook Reviewer is a great website and provides some of the best reviews for, well, audiobooks you’re going to find on the internet. I really think everyone wanting to purchase audiobooks on Audible should check out this site first. The reviews here are extremely good.
Grimdark Magazine 8# has an article by me
I have an article in Grimdark Magazine which I’m very proud of called “Is the Aliens Trilogy Grimdark?” as well as a review of Wolfenstein: The New Order. I think fans of mine would be remise not to check out this title. I love this magazine.
Tim Ward interviews me about Straight Outta Fangton
Tim Ward is the author of some great post-apocalypse science fiction and I recommend you check his stuff out. I described his Sand Divers series as “Fallout meets Dune.” He was nice enough to do an interview with me about my upcoming book STRAIGHT OUTTA FANGTON and his questions were hilarious!
Book Lovers Life reviews Esoterrorism
The number of good reviewers I know just never seems to end. Book Lovers’ Life is another site I’ll never get tired of reading and they’ve flattered me with some truly great words here. I think you’ll enjoy them too.
Seth Skorkowsky article about Audible
Seth Skorkowsky is one of the most promising fantasy and urban fantasy authors out today. Today, he decided to flatter me by using THE RULES OF SUPERVILLAINY as an example of how Audible is a great place for getting ratings for your books. His numbers for my books are way-way lower than their actual numbers, though, which is hilarious given they’re still great.
