(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 06, 2012 ) Los Angeles, CA -- Premier Digital Publishing announced today the availability of five e-books by award-winning author Robert Masello. Two are non-fiction titles, companion volumes that explore “The Creatures of the Night, and Their Creators.” The books are entitled Fallen Angels… And Spirits of the Dark and Raising Hell: A Concise History of the Black Arts and Those who Dared to Practice Them.
In addition, there are three fiction titles – Black Horizon, Fallen Angels, and Private Demons, which have now been released as e-books. The titles were previously launched as print titles under Simon and Schuster and Penguin imprints.
“After years of having fans ask how to get their hands on a copy of these titles, I’m very pleased that they are now available,” said Mr. Masello. “It’s clear that digital is going to be a significant part of book publishing going forward and I love the team at PDP and their wide offering of author services. As someone who was less than adept at the new technologies, it’s come as a huge relief to have the support and encouragement of PDP.”
Thomas Ellsworth, President of Premier Digital Publishing commented, “Robert fits perfectly for the Premier Digital Publishing line-up. He is a wonderfully talented multi-title author with a large successful backlist and he continues to write best-selling books today that expand his brand and support the re-release of his earlier works.”
Non-Fiction: “Creatures of the Night . . . and Their Creators.”
Fallen Angels…And Spirits of the Dark (Print Publication October 1, 1994)
They have been with us since the beginning of time. Walking the centuries in our myths, our art, our literature…and in our dreams. Victims of temptation and sin, they are spirits who fell from Heaven’s grace, emerging anew as servants of darkness. Here, in one spellbinding volume, are the most infamous denizens of the Underworld – from Lucifer, the first angel who challenged God’s will, to the fathomless legions of demons and fiends who haunt us to this day. Explore their world, hear their stories, unravel their secrets, and discover that even angels can have a dark side…
Raising Hell: A Concise History of the Black Arts & Those Who Dared to Practice Them (Print Publication October 1, 1996)
Here, in one spellbinding volume, is a history of the major occult arts - necromancy, sorcery, astrology, alchemy, and prophecy - as they have been practiced from ancient Babylon to the present day. RAISING HELL weaves history with myths, quotes, anecdotes, and illustrations to provide a vivid chronicle of the evolution of the occult arts. From the origins of the pentagram and the sacred circle, to the incantations of necromancers, to the prophecies of Nostradamus, this definitive source offers a compelling look at the black arts ... and those who risked their lives - and some say souls - to explore them.
Fiction: “Dealing with the Devil -- In this trio of terrifying tales, three men trade their lives, and sometimes their very souls, for gifts that come at an unimaginable price.”
Black Horizon (Print Publication October 1, 1989)
The gates between life and death have been opened. Musician Jack Logan holds the key. In the streets of New York he brought a man back from the dead – in plain and shocking sight of a TV news camera crew. Now the whole world is aware of his miraculous power. The media wants to expose him, the scientists to exploit him. But worst of all, the tortured souls of the dead – including his own mother – are reaching out from the void, luring him over into the eternal domain, transforming his gift into the ultimate curse. Living or dead, they struggle to seize and control the secret that lies beyond the . . . BLACK HORIZON.
Private Demons (Print Publication August 1, 1992)
Everyone hides a secret from the past…but Lucien’s secret is inescapable. A living thing that has followed him across the world, from the horrors of Southeast Asia to the penthouse suites of the rich and famous. Everyone craves money, power, and sex…but Lucien can satisfy his every urge, every decadent impulse, every erotic whim – for a price. Everyone has PRIVATE DEMONS…but Lucien’s demon is all too real. All too powerful. All too hungry…for human souls.
The Spirit Wood (Print Publication June 1, 1987)
It was sublime, erotic, evil. It was the call of his own blood… When Peter Constantine inherited a vast, remote estate, his life began to change. Free at last from money worries, Peter and his wife, Meg, could relax – and Peter could explore his new, mysterious home. From the thick woods, the winding trails, the bizarre, sensual sculpture, came a pulsing, ancient call that stirred his very depths. Then he heard the music, and saw the beautiful woman who beckoned him into the woods…into an ancient ritual, a blood curse, a world of violent, unbridled lust.
Now his wife no longer knows him. Now Peter is transformed…into a pagan creature, driven by the suffocating need of animal desire…until pleasure is not enough, and no evil is forbidden, in…THE SPIRIT WOOD.
