Chimericana Books Releases the Chimeraworld #3 Anthology

Chimericana Books is brand new publisher that caters to fans of extreme/bizarro fiction. This first release of 2006, Chimeraworld #3 (edited by Mike Philbin), contains twenty three stories from around the globe inspired by the three-headed-monster - atheism, misogyny and terrorism.

(PRWEB) January 14, 2006 -- Chimericana Books Releases Chimeraworld #3 (atheist, misogynist, terrorist), edited by Oxford, UK-based artist/writer Mike Philbin (the man behind bizarro keyboard entity Hertzan Chimera R.I.P.).

Mike began editing (and publishing) the Chimeraworld anthologies two years ago because he couldn't find any fiction that could hold his attention longer than *clicks fingers* that. Most of the things he read were derivative, weak, grey, cliched, genre-compliant filler product that any honest editor would have sent back in a black fugue of disdain or simply poured gasoline on and burned in the reject bin.

What makes the Chimeraworld anthologies so different from 99.37% of the literature you find on the book shelves today is a) they defy genre, 3) they're very strange and ix) you can't find them in the shops - Chimeraworld is a totally online trade paperback venture.

-Chimeraworld #1 (23 bizarro tales) was a pure 'grand guignol' festival of all things subversive, horrific and insane.

-Chimeraworld #2 (hell is a sorry s**t hole) was the chillled-out downer-antidote to the previous year's gory excesses.

-Chimeraworld #3 (atheist, misogynist, terrorist) is back to basics with 23 stories that touch on one or more of these provocative themes.

Here is a full running order of the authors and their stories in Chimeraworld #3:
Ralph Greco, Jr. - the test
Dean R Winters - three-head full fish tank
Michael De Kler - feed the machine
Jenny Ashford - spreading the love
Nicholas Alan Tillemans - misfortune smiles too
C. C. Parker - cave dweller
Joshua Scribner - familiar faces
Sean Logan - changed his mind
Chet Gottfried - patient virtues
Paul Pinn - stench man killer boy
D.L. Snell - mouser
Anthony Armstrong - crush freak
C.L. Russo - key man
Will McIntosh - true cross
Tim McDaniel - at the sound of the tone
Michael A. Kechula - ten warnings
Kevin James Miller - mr. arnold's window
Richard Pitaniello - meester clin & the secret of the pain-makers
Richard D. Moore - the bark that bites
Liam Davies - balloon
Tonya Price - what soldiers do
Glen Alan Hamilton - i feel the need
David L Tamarin - top o' the news
