Life City

Find it Here!


I think we can squeeze out one or two more signal boosts before the year is out. Why not? There is more than enough material to highlight, and I know there are many readers out there perusing for something to dig into.

So here is a new one for you!

Today I'd like to present to you Life City by the always intriguing TJ Marquis, a novella of the sort you do not see too often. This is pretty much the definition of Weird Fiction. For those who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, you will see exactly what makes it so unique, if only by the cover. This is pure unadulterated fun of the kind that makes stories the joy they are.

A combination of all the things that made Gen Y and older Gen X childhoods so odd, Life City is an action packed delight of the sort that does not get made much anymore. But it also has a bit of a twist to it to keep it fresh.

The description:


THE LAMB LIFTED THEM UP...

...BUT THE BEAST WANTS TO TEAR THEM DOWN.


The uplifted animals of Life City are used to destructive alien incursions from above. Everyone knows how to fight back.

Heroic rock band Magikrash makes a living playing music and fighting invaders, but there are some threats they may not be prepared for...

When a new and disturbing trend pops up in Life City, punk singer Saqi and her bear bassist Barley must discover how to save their brainwashed friends, and the city.

Vibes of classic Saturday Morning cartoons, punk rock and metal, synthwave, and fast-paced adventure combine for an uplifting read with the Lamb at its heart.


Once again, you can find it here.

It feels fitting for the Christmas season, does it now? No one makes it like this anymore, so check it out while they still do! You can only find such works in NewPub, and nowhere else. And that is what continues to make it such an exciting space.

Thank you so much for checking out these authors and stories and giving them the attention they need. 2021 has been the year of NewPub, and I definitely hope to see this continue far into 2022 and beyond. With OldPub detonating, we need a new place to find stories.

And that is exactly what we're creating.

Until next time!

  1. Is this available somewhere that's NOT Amazon? (Angry grumbling noises. If I can't own something physically, I at least want to not deal with digital shenanigans or prop up new monopolizers who don't pay as well...I've heard BookBaby is way better for authors, and Smashwords might also be.)

    On the subject of boosting, I don't know if this is any good, but there might be something her you might like. https://rcveeder.net/
