Zombie, Waylon Jenkins, is dead set on proving that cosmetology can save the world... What's a zombie — who also happens to be a cosmetologist — to do when dead bodies show up with missing limbs and the local police captain thinks the zombie did it? “After all,” the captain reasons, “who else needs the spare parts?” For Waylon, it involves being dragged into a deep cover zombie military unit where good moisturizer isn't enough to protect his friends or the peaceful life he's struggled to build.

Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic, Austin DeSantis, is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute — that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first.

Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity's first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he'll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. PILGRIMS is a sci-fi retelling of Augustine's Confessions, mixing a high-concept premise à la Children of Time, with the ceaseless pacing and rich characterization of Red Rising. © 2024 M.R.

In the world of Edenarth, faerie technology has advanced the realms immeasurably. Crystal ball communications, magic mirror displays, and portaling for fast travels are just some of the things that the Clans of Fey have engineered for human consumption—at the right price, of course. Politically, countless kingdoms and realms vie for power and prestige. It is a world filled with terrifying dragons, fearsome trolls, clueless humans, eccentric alchemists, syndicates and pirates, mysterious mermaids, faeries and their magic. In the realm of Kelemer, Adella lives a life of peasantry with her parents, always having to hide from a shadowed past no one will name. One night, they are visited by the grandmother Adella never knew she had: Queen Cassandra Everheart, ruler of the ocean kingdom of Adamaris, the neighboring realm to the south. After years of hiding, Adella learns why her family has been hunted as Cassandra apologizes for banishing Adella’s father for marrying outside of the royal bloodlines. Adamaris has since been bereft of an heir, and with Adella being the rightful crown, she is presented with the choice to leave and attend Royal High, a finishing academy for nobility. Within three years’ time, she will be expected to become Queen of Adamaris should she embrace her birthright. Naturally, fifteen year old Adella is stunned, but reluctantly agrees. She is then whisked away and thrust into the opulent castle halls of Royal High to learn alongside other young royals from across the realms. But a strange darkness haunts Adella in the shadows of the palatial school, and through a series of increasingly dire events, Adella finds that not everyone is as they appear in the world of royals. For under the surface of all kingdoms, a terrible and dark force is rising; an ancient breed of Dragon Kin, once thought vanquished by five guardians of light, are fighting to break free from their thousand-year exile. Can Adella Everheart understand what her dreams are telling her before it is too late? Or will the darkness consume everything she loves? © 2018 Rachel Litfin ℗ 2025 Soundbooth Theater

Tilda Quickthatch gave up adventuring years ago and retired to small-town Briarhaven as the local tavern wench. But now the past she's worked so hard to keep hidden has come calling for her. Its messengers? A group of misfit teens who insist she train them to pick up her mantle... or else. But what starts as simple "roll" play soon turns deadly when their antics attract the attention of a fearsome necromancer who never gave up searching for Tilda. He swoops in with a sinister offer: exchange the powerful artifact she stole nearly a decade ago for her former partner's life. Now it seems this halfling rogue-turned-barkeep has no choice but to dust off her daggers, gather her pity of a party, and set out on her highest stake quest yet. What could possibly go wrong?

If you enjoy witty banter, magical mayhem, and rooting for the underdog, then you’ll love Luna Ryder’s outrageous adventure.

Hi there! I'm Magical Girl Crystal Genocide, one of the 12 magical girls, and sworn protectors of Earth. We were like a superhero squad, but with more sparkles! We fought day and night to keep the baddies at bay and the Earth safe. But one day, our best wasn't good enough. So, we huddled up for a superhero brainstorm and decided to pool our powers for this mega, super-duper save-the-day plan. We kinda goofed. Big time. Instead of saving the day, we accidentally wiped out a quarter of the Milky Way. Now, here I am, Crystal Genocide, in a bit of a pickle. I've landed on this bizarre planet, surrounded by odd monsters and folks who have magic that feels way too familiar. It's like they're copying our style, but not quite getting it right. My mission? Unravel this magic mystery, track down my magical girl gang, and maybe, just maybe, put back together the pieces of our home that we kinda, sorta blew up. Hopefully, I won't accidentally destroy this world too... Wish me luck! © 2025 RavensDagger ℗ 2025 Soundbooth Theater

A mission meant to inspire hope… and nothing is quite as it seems. When a seemingly unstoppable evil descends upon the city, Ethan Tannor must race against time to save a desperate world that may fall to ruin. April 1986. The Cold War is nearly over. Or is it? Wealthy business mogul, Tobias Keane, is dead in an apparent suicide. But Ethan Tannor, a detective on the scene and nephew of Keane, suspects something else. In his effort to prove murder, Ethan discovers hidden items in his uncle’s safe that reveal there was more to Tobias’s past than he initially thought. These items include a strange watch that doesn’t tell time, a cryptic journal, confusing newspaper clippings from years past, a cipher that points to something ominous, a worn copy of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, and the mysterious words, “Tamám Shud.” The more Ethan uncovers, the more he realizes his own life is in danger. And when he stumbles upon a shadow group that tips him off to an impending hostile takeover of the United States, Ethan finds himself in the center of something he can’t explain. Political agendas headed by an enigmatic leader and an evil force tipping the balance of power will bring him face to face with things beyond the realm of belief and possibility. As the lines of reality and fiction become blurred, Ethan embarks on the near-impossible task of reshaping the world. If he fails, the battleground will be America, with new territory lines carved across the map, as the victor stakes their claim. But Ethan is determined to end it where it all began: April 1986.

Like many teenagers, there's a lot about Daniel Meadows' life that's out of his control. For example, having to start in a new school district for his freshman year of high school thanks to his dad's new job. Inside the realm of his control, however, is the decision to try a brand-new sport purely to impress a girl. But the day of tennis tryouts proves far more fateful than Dan ever could have imagined, when a failed attempt by Truck-kun and the powers that be to kill him and transport his consciousness to a fantasy realm leaves him on Earth with miraculous abilities instead. Stuck on his boring home planet with magical powers to harness and learn, Dan finds himself in a unique situation. Will he use his powers for greatness? Will he abuse them?

This slice-of-life tennis LitRPG serves up progression, sports, and fun in one hilarious series.

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny. Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain, Perry's never felt...adequate. He's completely magically dull, and without a scrap of superpowers. When The System boots, he's forced to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother. Maybe there's a way he can do both...

Based (verrrrrry loosely) on True Events. Alexis Lieberman has been hacked. And not just hacked like someone stole her credit card information and did something reasonable, like buy a new TV or go to Aruba. Oh, nooooooo, of course not. No, she got hacked, and her credit card was used to buy the most vile, disgusting thing she could even contemplate. Sub sandwiches with extra mayo. That’s right — her identity was stolen and all they got was some cheap sub sandwich delivery, and not even good subs at that. But that’s beside the point. The point is that her identity was stolen, the sanctity of her computing world was violated, and it is high time that the evildoers were brought to justice, and made to answer for their crimes against Lexi — and against lunches worldwide. I mean, really. Extra mayo? Who even does that? But now Lexi has another problem. Nobody cares. Not the local police, not the police in the town where the subs were fraudulently purchased, not even the FBI, who’s supposed to handle things like interstate wire fraud, international drug cartels, and human trafficking. No, there’s no evidence of international drug cartels or human trafficking, but there’s also no evidence that those things aren’t involved, now is there? So Lexi, after a long afternoon day drinking with her next door neighbor and BFF, Rhonda Mabry, she does the only thing she can think of — she loads up the Prius and heads off to Orlando in search of justice and whoever would order extra mayo. I mean, gross. Along the way, there are drunken bar fights, drunken Bar Olympics, underwear malfunctions, a visit to at least one drunk tank, a fling with a man missing his eyebrows (which may or may not be Lexi’s doing), a showdown with the Russian mob, and a mechanical bull named Hornicus Prime.

Chronicles of the Lazarene is a companion piece to The Endless Vessel. Think of it as something like the ship’s log for the voyage you see in The Endless Vessel, telling stories of the ship's adventures that didn’t fit into the main novel’s narrative. Chronicles tells its own full story, and it’s a hell of a read in its own right. The story is told from the perspective of a man named Luis Pedrona, who signs onto the ship featured in The Endless Vessel (it’s called the Lazarene). Luis experiences its journeys firsthand, and keeps a diary recording everything that happens over two full centuries. Wait - two hundred years? How could one guy keep a diary for two hundred years?

Joined by a dysfunctional crew armed with magical weapons, Tor sets off on a quest to locate, infiltrate, and pilfer the Temple of the Dark Lord. What he finds is something completely unexpected as monsters, traps, and betrayal turn the quest from dangerous to deadly.

The Sullivans are a normal family. But after being transported to the magical world of Arenia, normal isn’t a luxury they can afford. It’s just another Thanksgiving for the Sullivans—until the walls disappear and they discover they are being transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential. Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn’t mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Oops. Too bad he already faked their deaths. Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness and armed only with their Tomes—books containing all of their skills, accomplishments, and quests—the family members must discover a strength they didn’t know they had if they are going to survive long enough to find each other. Note: Contains some profanity and a turkey, but not a profane turkey. Personally, I’m fine with profane turkeys, but if that’s where you draw the line, you should know that there are none in this book. In fact, I’m going to promise you no profane turkeys for the entire series. That’s my gift to you. © 2021 P.A. Parsons ℗ 2021 Soundbooth Theater

It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive disappointment, it is also possible to reach for the stars while aiming at the moon. These are the truths that one tiny woman with a gigantic aspiration is about to discover. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of Everybody Loves Large Chests, which takes place during the events of Volume 7: Goroth.

The oldest of the children drafted from humanity's devastated planet, Joe unwittingly becomes the centerpiece in a millennia-long alien struggle for independence. Once his training begins, one of the elusive and prophetic Trith gives Joe a spine chilling prophecy that the universe has been anticipating for millions of years: Joe will be the one to finally shatter the vast alien government known as Congress. And, the Trith cannot lie.…but first, Joe has to make it through boot camp.

At 19, Bonnie Stanford is your average hardworking urban college student in Alaska—just a typical girl trying to find her place in the world while avoiding her psychotic parents. (Well, typical if you don't count the fact that she doesn't know that she's an un-awakened Vampire Queen.) Having just lost her job, Bonnie reluctantly accepts the request to house sit her parents’ place out in the middle of Nowhere, Alaska, while they go on a three-week vacation. Two days before they are due home (and she can go back to quietly ignoring them), however, Bonnie receives a strange package and a letter, both of which turn her world upside down. Suddenly, she finds herself at the top of the Supernatural Most Wanted List, just because she has to suck blood and can, oh, by the way, enthrall people. Being hunted by the Inquisition and vampire lords who wanna kill her or enslave her, with only an ancient Samurai who is just as wary of her as she is of him as a companion, Bonnie tries to handle the insanity she has just been immersed in. Will the tentative trust formed between the centuries-old warrior and the naïve young woman be enough to help her survive the dangers to come? Will the unlikely pair be able to overcome their fear of each other to survive the coming supernatural apocalypse? Or will Bonnie fall to the supernatural creatures seeking to bind her and use her to make their dark armies?

To the Creshe Empire, I’m just a number. I’ve spent the past five years in isolation and under study. With my home razed by a Syldrari attack, my mind damaged, and nothing but white walls and a viewing window around me, I dedicated myself to two things: training my body and reading any book they allowed me to have. The Empire wants me to serve, to use the inhuman power the Incident stirred within me. Technically, they asked, but it wasn’t much of a choice. It never is. Serve, or… I refused to be a mindless slave. My life was taken from me once. Never again. With the Empire moving forward with their xenophobic plans, they needed someone capable of killing Syldrari -- and I was just that. A tool they could use, a tool they thought they could manipulate. Needing me was their first mistake. They gave me leverage; I named my terms. Now, after five years, my life can begin.

Only a rag-tag team of gargoyles stands between humanity and extinction. Hell has released its ravening horde of demons, leaving most of humanity a puke-spewing, head-spinning mess of possession.

They guard the last cathedral-turned-sanctuary atop a bald knoll in the North Carolina mountains. Gargoyle protection grudgingly extends to any human who can make it inside the sanctuary, but the power of the stonecutter blood magic, which protects the sanctuary, may not be enough when a rogue grotesque and his badly-wounded ward arrive. All the hounds of hell are on their heels. The last sanctuary is about to fall. ©2017 Jake Bible (P)2021 Soundbooth Theater

In the Halow system, one of Earth’s three sister star systems, tek and magic -- humans and fae -- are at war. Kesh Lasota is a ghost in the machine. Invisible to tek, she’s hired by the criminal underworld to carry illegal messages through the Halow system. But when one of those messages kills its recipient, Kesh finds herself on the run with a bounty on her head and a quick-witted marshal on her tail. Proving her innocence seems straightforward. Until a warfae steals the evidence she needs. The fae haven’t been seen in Halow in over a thousand years. And this one -- a brutally efficient killer able to wield tek -- should not exist. But neither should Kesh. As Kesh’s carefully crafted lie of a life crumbles around her, she knows being invisible is no longer an option. To hunt the warfae, to stop him from destroying a thousand-year fragile peace, she must resurrect the horrors of her past. Kesh Lasota was a ghost.

Daniel's (updated) guide to early retirement, version 2.0: Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. (Complete success. Except for the part where I was discovered and almost caught.) Hide out in a super-exclusive full immersion virtual reality game until the heat is off. (Doing fine so far. They may have figured out that I’m in-game. Still, it’s a huge game, so no problem, right?) Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. (Two out of three ain’t bad. We’re just postponing the "live it up" part a bit.) Profit. (Still almost two years to go for that. Think happy thoughts!) He could have been way worse off. Sure, Daniel was stuck in-game as the local bard of a quaint village, but people were nice, the quests juicy, and the lore intriguing. Even so, with the mob on the lookout, Daniel would soon find himself sorely tested to avoid detection. Disclaimer: Still no harems in this series, even with a bard MC. Go figure. We’re going light on the cursing and less light on the puns. You were warned.

Having teamed up with Theo, a very old and surprisingly chivalrous vampire lord, Bonnie and her samurai friend Masaaki now have a slightly better chance of surviving the next couple weeks. But trouble calls when one of Theo's old friends gets kidnapped by a rival lord, and he and the samurai leave the untrained queen alone while they rush headlong into a trap. Angry at suddenly being the rich errand girl, Bonnie makes a very unwise decision to go rescue a barghest from local slavers—the same barghest that both of her guardians repeatedly warned her not to save because barghests eat vampires. But she is inexplicably drawn to the huge beast called Björn, even as he makes her tremble in fear. Now, while Theo is missing in action, and Masaaki is wandering lost in the Alaskan wilderness, Bonnie alone must find a way to keep the barghest from eating everyone who pisses him off while simultaneously staying out of the hands of the Inquisition.

Palmyre. A city of questions and a family short on answers. And foremost on everyone’s mind is the question that matters most: Where is Grandpa Jack? After a long and arduous journey, the Sullivan family has made it to Palmyre. The initial joy over their reunion soon fades, however, when Grandpa Jack fails to arrive. With no way of seeking him out, they turn their attention to surviving in a town far different from anything they have experienced before. For some, it is a matter of learning who they are. For others, it is about learning what they are becoming. And for Grandpa Jack, well, he would have gotten to that damn town ages ago if there weren’t so many damn creatures, monsters, and gods in the way. As for Turkaletta…does anyone think of the turkey? Nooo. It’s all, “Where’s Grandpa Jack?” Couldn’t just one person say, “What about our turkey?” Sigh. Looks like she’ll have to do it her way. © 2023 P.A. Parsons ℗ 2023 Soundbooth Theater

I was on the path to becoming an Olympic gymnast until a stupid accident cost me an arm. It also awakened my powers and bought the attention of Baron Steel. Apparenlty, he liked me, thought I had “balls.” Now, he’d decided to train me as a masked crimefighter. He’s fond of assigning monikers to his pupils, and has dubbed Shocknet.

It was inspired by the Persona Games, Pokemon Go!, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The illegal Monster Hunt app has definitely done a number on Chase Knowles’ life, transforming him from a down-on-his-luck musician to the Alpha of two incredible Huntresses. Along with his bandmate, Iris, the group has taken New York City by storm, hunting and brawling in the city’s landmarks and hard-to-reach spaces. But there is more to the Monster Hunt app than catch or sell. An exclusive world known as EverLife presents new challenges, new adventure, and a mystery that none have been able to solve. It also presents new foes. © 2018 Harmon Cooper ℗ 2021 Soundbooth Theater

Crusader is the most isolated man in Star City. He spent the years prior to the v’sori invasion racking up an impressive body count of supervillains and street criminals. For his efforts, he was hunted by the cops, targeted by the underworld, and reviled by the public as a ruthless vigilante. Since the invasion, he’s shifted his focus to shooting aliens; but he still takes any opportunity to kill the villains and crooks he comes across. Superheroes and cops consider him a villain, the villains all want him dead, and the v’sori would gladly torture him to death if they could get their hands on him. But that doesn’t stop him from carrying out his own private war for Justice. Then Crusader learns the v’sori have built a weapon that could kill every super villain on Earth, destroying the resistance in one fell swoop. Forced by circumstance to work with one of his most hated foes — the indestructible strongman, Invictus — can he adapt his moral perspective and learn to work with criminals he knows he should kill? Or, will he let humanity remain under the alien yoke so he can see Justice done? © 2020 Pinnacle Entertainment Group ℗ 2021 Soundbooth Theater

Eledan’s nightmare has been unleashed upon the worlds and with Oberon gone, only the messenger crew stands in its way. Kellee, Talen, Sirius, Sota, and Kesh. Together, they are stronger, but there are forces on Faerie who do not want the worlds saved, forces that would see the Messenger and her crew torn apart. Queen to Faerie’s new king, Messenger and more to the saru, lover to some, and a weapon to others; but who is Kesh Lasota really? A guiding light or an unwitting puppet? Answers are coming. The time for lies has passed. And Kesh will soon learn some battles can’t be won alone. The mind-blowing Messenger Chronicles comes to its explosive conclusion in Her Dark Legion. ©2019 Pippa DaCosta (P)2020 Soundbooth Theater
