The "Hiram Five" to be at AnthoCon!

It took a crazy confluence of events in order to get the ENTIRE Hiram crew together for the second annual Anthology Conference in Portsmouth, NH November 9-11, 2012.  Check out the links to the right to learn a little about the authors and artists that made the series so successful.  Then be sure to explore this site in order to learn more about Hiram through reviews and background information.

"Stunning and startlingly original...a must read!" -- Nate Kenyon, author of THE BONE FACTORY and SPARROW ROCK

“Somewhere in the Underworld, Lovecraft is grinning with delight and Hunter S. Thompson is raising his bottle high. You won’t find a darker, more twisted character than Hiram Grange.” -- Greg Hall, author of AT THE END OF CHURCH STREET, and creator of the Funky Werepig Radio Show.

An absolute  must read for fans of fast-paced, action-packed occult thrillers."-- Gene O'Neill, Stoker-winning author of JADE and DEATHFLASH

Dirty Sexy Books: Hiram Grange "Damn Close to Perfection"

This is the book that prompted bestselling author Brian Keene to say, "This is fucking EXCELLENT!" though his official word was:

"Twisted, shocking and full of pitch-black humor and darkly original twists. One of the best books I've read this year." Brian Keene, author of Darkness on the Edge of Town and Dead Sea

Now Rebecca, who runs the Dirty Sexy Books' blog, chimed in with this:

"I just loved this supernatural horror novella, and my only regret is that it went by too damn fast... a wicked good ride through some dark, twisted avenues with a demented savior... This one entertained me beautifully, and it had it all; it was a gritty and sexy balls-to-the-walls adventure.  If you’re a fan of dark urban fantasy like me, then you’ll rejoice upon finding this treasure trove...."

But that's not all. Steven Savile, the International Bestselling author of Silver, Primeval: Shadow of the Jaguar and Stargate SG-1: The Power Behind the Throne loved the book as well:

"Richard Wright is one of the best kept secrets in horror, which is a crying shame because a guy this good shouldn't be a secret at all. And best of all, he just keeps getting better. Hiram Grange and the Nymphs of Krakow is a good old fashioned rollicking tale of mysticism and mayhem. The pages turn themselves, it's that good." 

We're going to open HIRAM GRANGE AND THE NYMPHS OF KRAKOW, by Richard Wright up for pre-orders this week.
