Chimericana Books Releases Chimeraworld #2

A brand new publisher for a brand new breed of short fiction, Chimericana Books aims to cater to fans of extreme/bizarro fiction. The first release from this new publishing house will be Chimeraworld #2, edited by Mike Philbin.

(PRWEB) September 18, 2005 -- Oxford,UK-based artist/writer Mike Philbin is the man behind keyboard entity Hertzan Chimera R.I.P.

Mike began editing the Chimeraworld anthologies two years ago with the publication of Chimeraworld #1 (c/o Cyber Pulp Press of Houston, TX). Chimeraworld #1 was a pure 'grand guignol' festival of all things subversive, horrific and insane - 23 harrowing stories from all round the writing world.

Due to publisher delays that would take publication of Chimeraworld #2 into the first quarter of 2006 when it should have been released in June 2005, Mike decided to create Chimericana Books to publish Chimeraworld #2. This second anthology is the morbid twin to its schizoid brother, dealing as it does with tortured souls in hospice hell, rooms that eat their hapless occupants and the abortion people.

CHIMERAWORLD #2 contains 23 stories of obscene mental fiction written by 23 of the most innovative writers out there that will literally explode your socks.
