Book Description
If you love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, you'll love "SUICIDE THE HARD WAY"! SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: And Other Tales From The Innerzone –– collects 7 never-before-released stories of the macabre from CHRISTOPHER ALAN BROADSTONE, horror filmmaker (3 DEAD GIRLS!) and novelist (PUZZLEMAN). Each tale lures us down twilight byways instinctively sped-through and discounted by most, but never explored. Within these stories, however, we become lost, meandering onto backstreets and alleyways –– stumbling through the grim reality of introspection that always leads to a terrifying, nihilistic, and often brutal look into the soul: the Innerzone. Continuing this theme, SUICIDE THE HARD WAY also includes Broadstone's 3 screenplays for his award-winning short films, SCREAM FOR ME (Best Short Film: New York City Horror Film Festival), MY SKIN! (Best Horror Short Category: Shriekfest Film Festival [L.A.]), and HUMAN NO MORE (Best Horror Short: The Indie Gathering [O.H.]). These films, anthologized as the DVD 3 DEAD GIRLS! (available on Amazon), are explored in-depth by film critic MATTHEW SANDERSON in his original essay for this printing, titled: MADNESS AND MEANING. To bring even greater insight to Broadstone's filmmaking process, is the production diary kept by reviewer/filmmaker LEE BAILES, while working as Assistant Camera and BTS videographer on the set of HUMAN NO MORE. First published on the website THE RUMOUR MACHINE, it is now available here, titled: THE MAKING OF HNM: How An Englishman Spent His Summer In An L.A. Basement. (Active links to Film Music and Additional Film Info are also included in the Kindle version of this book.) Completing SUICIDE THE HARD WAY is a section compiling 32 of Broadstone's previously unpublished dark, introspective lyrics and poetry, some if which are interpolated into his films, and many others of which are lyrics for music recorded and performed by his heavy grunge/rock band, THE JUDAS ENGINE. (Active links to Downloadable Music are also included in the Kindle version of this book.) SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: And Other Tales From The Innerzone is an ambitious work that chronicles all facets of Christopher Alan Broadstone's creative career: writer, poet/lyricist, musician, and filmmaker.

Book Description
If you love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, you'll love “A CATCH IN TIME“! "A CATCH IN TIME grew so vividly and beautifully absurd…I could not take my eyes off the book for long…C. A. Broadstone has easily convinced me that his writing style is indeed brilliant." –– Oliver Lippert, The Huffington Post San Antonio Del Tequendama Cundinamarca, Colombia November 1938 ‘My front door is broken, bleeding guts of shadows...’ ‘...how do I find new skin...’ ‘...among my desolate bones...’ “But this is nothing, right?” whispered Tatiana. “I’m still alive.” These were her abstract thoughts as she stared like a saucer-eyed cat confronting a deluge––stared into her emerald green eyes in the large, heart-shaped crest-mirror hanging above the vanity table in her bedroom suite at Hotel “Bochica”, Salto del Tequendama. Tatiana Marita Ospina has run away from her forced marriage to an aristocratic philanderer, and sought sanctuary at “Bochica”, a retreat for the rich and famous. The last thing she expected, however, was to discover a convoy of Nazi SS soldiers arriving at the hotel under cover of night, led by Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess. In the darkest hours of the morning, Tatiana’s sleep is disrupted by strange, ghostly music and voices, which grip her imagination and compel her to explore the lower levels of “Bochica”, where she stumbles onto the true secret the hotel has been hiding: the occult mystery behind the rising Axis powers. Openly confronted by this insurmountable horror, she must decide if she can make the sacrifice necessary to accept her role in the secret history of World War II. But will it be destiny or damnation for Tatiana Marita Ospina, as well as for the rest of the world? Weaving together psychological horror and alternative history with theater of the absurd, A CATCH IN TIME marks the triumphant and genre-defying return of dark fantasist Christopher Alan Broadstone following last year’s SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: AND OTHER TALES OF THE INNERZONE. A CATCH IN TIME also includes two short stories from SUICIDE THE HARD WAY––SMILEYS' GRAVE and ROSEBLOOD––and also "CHAPTER 19" from the novel PUZZLEMAN. SMILEYS' GRAVE Poet Aaron Shelley Wanton has become a lost soul among artists. He's alone, miserable, broke and––worst of all––he's no longer writing. His inability to string together any words-of-worth is driving him closer and closer toward a cliff-edge of madness. Somehow he must reconnect with his muse, the Moon, who has abandoned him. Heartbroken, he once again finds himself lying among the grim stones of Mulls Cemetery, staring up at the lunar orb through the tangle of trees. On this night, however, his burning desire for the Moon's inspiration will invoke far more than he ever bargained for. ROSEBLOOD "It's every place I look." The voices agreed. The voices also intoned that today would bring something special. With a dozen roses in hand, Andre––a filthy, bearded flower-seller wearing a prairie coat and ragged cowboy hat––stepped up to the curb before him. There was a mess of merging cars inching down the frontage road, exiting from Interstate 30 into Garland, Texas. Once again the voices spoke to Andre, insisting that somewhere in this herd of vehicles there would be a sacred man. One who would nod his head yes, roll down his window, and ask how much for a rose––a blossom of God! “A great man,” muttered Andre, studying the traffic. "A saint." Evening was approaching, and Andre knew it was going to spiral into a very glorious night. PUZZLEMAN: A Macabre Thriller Fall into a world of Grumemonsters, where no one is sane down a drain, and down a drain no one is sane. Follow Amanda Zimmerman, Professor John Rainbow, Jeannette Orfèvre, Ben Henfy, and The Legless Man, all seeking retribution and escape from a horror worse than death. They are five disparate lives meticulously woven together over time to play a special part in the Puzzleman’s twisted vision of eternal life. Welcome to truth and eternity. Welcome to the Pipeworld.

Book Description
If you love POE, BARKER and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, you'll love “NOTES-TO-SELF”! “Notes-To-Self: Accumulated Thoughts, Transferred Into Word Form” is a brand new version of an historical collection of works that comprises Christopher Alan Broadstone's long out-of-print, handmade ‘About 9 Times’ fan-book titled “Beyond Blue Sky, Nothing” (July 1988), which included an amalgam of 92 early poems (many of them ‘About 9 Times’ lyrics), along with two early short stories, “Again Once More” and “The Deformity”. New to this edition are the very early, never before published tales “Grandma” and the experimental “The Dying Man: A Comedy Of Eschatology”, along with the unfinished incarnation tale “Homo Amphibious Burlesque”, which plays prominently in the feature film “Human No More” (2020). Spearheading this collection is the acclaimed, but rare, demonic serial-killer thriller “Note-To-Self”, previously featured in the “Journals Of Horror: Found Fiction” anthology (2014, out-of-print), and now updated with additional material. Also included is the very rare (as yet unproduced) screenplay for the short film “Roseblood”, based on Broadstone's controversial Christian horror story of the same name, first published in “Suicide The Hard Way: And Other Tales From The Innerzone”. Bringing this enhanced collection into perspective, and linking Broadstone's earliest stories to his most current, is “Human No More” producer Matthew Sanderson, who also edited Broadstone’s “Suicide The Hard Way” and “A Catch In Time”. Sanderson’s comprehensive and fascinating essay “Truth & Tragedy: God Cakes Won’t Help You In Hell” completes “Notes-To-Self” with brand new perspective. Last but not least, as with the original “Beyond Blue Sky, Nothing” fan-book, the ending section is comprised of all 92 of C.A. Broadstone’s poetry and lyrics, although now updated with an additional 26 entries––including two lost poems, “Abattoir” and “The Bloody Dead”, which were recently discovered sandwiched between old printouts of the stories “Grandma” and “The Dying Man”. If you love Christopher Alan Broadstone's philosophical and macabre books and films, as well as his lyrics for the jazz/punk/new-wave band ‘About 9 Times’ and his grunge band ‘The Judas Engine’, you'll want to see where it all began. And where it all has come to. "With razor-sharp precision, “Note-To-Self” explores a world of unhealed emotional scars and inescapable body horror. Broadstone captures the dislocation of being a stranger in your own skin, alongside the existential curiosity of commingling human reality with the dark void of the unknown." –– Jonny Numb, Crash Palace Productions “As our [“Note-To-Self”] killer embarks on a twisted quest, his journey and mindset are the elements that unnerve us. Whether in the bosom of a benign tribe of Bedouins, or sojourning through a chaotic Cairo, Mr. Broadstone ensures that we the reader will find no comfort, or reprieve from horror.” –– Christopher Zisi, Zisi Emporium For B-Movies

John Rainbow (a professor of classical history) and Jeannette Orfèvre (a beautiful French vintner) still longing for the love they shared during World War II...

Book Description
When The Texas Chain Saw Massacre first hit movie screens in 1974 it was both reviled and championed. To critics, it was either "a degrading, senseless misuse of film and time" or "an intelligent, absorbing and deeply disturbing horror film." However it was an immediate hit with audiences. Banned and celebrated, showcased at the Cannes film festival and included in the New York MoMA's collection, it has now come to be recognized widely as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. A six-foot-four poet fresh out of grad school with limited acting experience, Gunnar Hansen played the masked, chain-saw-wielding Leatherface. His terrifying portrayal and the inventive work of the cast and crew would give the film the authentic power of nightmare, even while the gritty, grueling, and often dangerous independent production would test everyone involved, and lay the foundations for myths surrounding the film that endure even today. Critically-acclaimed author Hansen here tells the real story of the making of the film, its release, and reception, offering unknown behind-the-scenes details, a harrowingly entertaining account of the adventures of low-budget filmmaking, illuminating insights on the film's enduring and influential place in the horror genre and our culture, and a thoughtful meditation on why we love to be scared in the first place.

"Christopher Alan Broadstone's work is always a highly crafted effort of dark art. I know he will take me places where I may not want to go, but I have to. Plain and simple: he is one of my favorite contemporary authors/filmmakers. His work haunts and is the stuff of nightmares." -- Terry M. West, author of "What Price Gory?" and "Dreg" "Christopher Alan Broadstone's short films are a dark, surreal exploration into the human psyche, evoking as much horror and fear in the viewer as contemplative thought." -- Michael Laimo, Bram Stoker Nominated author of "Deep In The Darkness" and "Dead Souls" SUICIDE THE HARD WAY: And Other Tales From The Innerzone -- collects 7 never-before-released stories of the macabre from Christopher Alan Broadstone, horror filmmaker (3 Dead Girls!) and novelist (Puzzleman).

Book Description
Five specialists examine the historical relationship of culture and conflict in various regional societies. The authors use Adda B. Bozeman's theories on conflict and culture as the basis for their analyses of the causes, nature, and conduct of war and conflict in the Soviet Union, the Middle East, Sinic Asia (China, Japan, and Vietnam), Latin America, and Africa. Drs. Blank, Lawrence Grinter, Karl P. Magyar, Lewis B. Ware, and Bynum E. Weathers conclude that non-Western cultures and societies do not reject war but look at violence and conflict as a normal and legitimate aspect of sociopolitical behavior.
