27-page preview of Cold Black Hearts. The ruins on the border of New Mexico and Mexico were once the bustling town of New Dominion. But in 1933, most of its population was massacred—and no one was ever arrested for the brutal crime. Now, the land once known as New Dominion is the site of more recent murders. Former police detective Annie O’Brien, blessed—or cursed—with a heightened sense of empathy, is conducting the investigation. Staying alone in an old house near the desolate remains of the town, she finds herself haunted by the tragedies that occurred there—tragedies that threaten to overwhelm her unusual gift even as New Dominion threatens to rise from the ashes… Cold Black Hearts is the third in the loosely linked supernatural thriller trilogy that began with Missing White Girl and River Runs Red. It's terrifying, fast-paced, and filled with unexpected twists and turns.

A reporter for a local independent weekly in El Paso, TX, finds herself strangely thrilled to cover murder stories, even while her beloved brother is dying in a nearby hospital room. A CIA agent assigned to run Operation Moon Flash, the agency’s covert psychic investigations program, has to step in when his psychics start to die, one by one. An anthropologist searches an ancient rock art site near a small Texas town on the Rio Grande, hoping to find clues to her father’s disappearance. When these characters come together, they will confront their own pasts and each other, as combatants in a supernatural war spanning the eons and the continents, all linked by the raging currents of the world’s rivers… River Runs Red is the second book in a loose trilogy, linked by theme and setting, following Missing White Girl and coming before 2009’s Cold Black Hearts. It’s a big, ambitious epic of a supernatural thriller combining elements of spy fiction (and fact) with flat-out horror. Character-driven and fast moving, River Runs Red has more unexpected twists and turns than a mountain stream.

Interweaving traditional narrative with faux interviews, court depositions, consumer profiles, and a film script, Without Wax is an oral biography that provides an intriguing glimpse into the adult entertainment industry. Critical Blurbs: "An audacious debut, Walsh's documentary novel delivers a formal inventiveness that is remarkable." - Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody "Without Wax is full of the electric, the taboo, the sad bizarre. There's no doubt Walsh knows what he's doing, and that he's willing to go wherever necessary to find and render something new." - Blake Butler, reviewed in Rain Taxi #49 "Without Wax is entertaining and compulsively readable, getting as close to watching its filmic incarnation as the written word will allow." - Josh Maday, reviewed in NewPages "This book is infinitely quotable, full of lines that are sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and often just drop dead sexy, all coming together to create a wide variety of surprising responses, an effect that Walsh pulls off again and again." -Matt Bell's LitBlog To purchase this release, please visit Amazon.com To read reviews on this release, visit Casperian Books For updates on Without Wax: A Documentary Novel & other releases by William Walsh, go to http://murphybed.blogspot.com/ You have a virus on your computer.

Northgate is a city in turmoil. Decaying, violent and corrupt, it is a common enough place in the mid-twenty-first century save for one difference: a discovery has been made on the lunar surface, the ramifications of which will echo all the way to Northgate. Into the city has come Michael Flynn. Jobless and down to his last few dollars, Michael nevertheless dreams of making a difference of his own. He has no family, no friends save for the freelancer known only as Diomedes, and tonight they will lose their home to arson. When Diomedes becomes his mentor in their search for the one responsible, Michael will get his chance to realize those dreams. But he will need to find the courage to face far more personal things than fire before he succeeds, for like shadows in the flames, neither arsonist nor mentor may be what they seem. ...and those who search the moon may be watching him as well.
