The Dead Speak: Sean Taylor's
Corpse Delivers the Eulogy in His New Collection!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA--Comic and prose writer Sean Taylor introduces his newest collection of essays, short stories, and poems, THE CORPSE DELIVERS THE EULOGY AND OTHER WORKS.
Designed as an introduction to Taylor's writing for new readers and a re-introduction to current readers, this collection features both old and new creations in a single volume. THE CORPSE DELIVERS THE EULOGY showcases new essays about the art of writing and reading, old and new poetry between 1992 and just last month, and stories that set him on the path to fiction writing, both literary shorts and even a superhero short from the days of Cyber Age Adventures magazine.
"For those who only know my work from my comic book writing or those who only know me from my pulp adventures and superhero tales, this is the book to let you discover the writer I like to be when I'm writing for myself as the main audience," Taylor says.
Readers can see in this collection how Taylor, who has written for such properties as Zombies Vs. Robots, The Bad Girls Club, The Black Bat, and the Golden Amazon, along with his own creations Fishnet Angel and private detective Rick Ruby (co-created with Bobby Nash), has grown, changed, and expanded as a writer.
"I'm so excited to see this released," he says. "These are the words that shaped me as a storyteller and continue to shape me, and it's quite amazing to see them in print."
THE CORPSE DELIVERS THE EULOGY is available as a trade paperback for $9.99 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWR21ZTB/), and already available as a Kindle eBook for $2.99 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVLH8MS3/), both from Amazon.
Sean Taylor writes short stories, novellas, novels, graphic novels, and comic books (yes, Virginia, there is a difference between comic books and graphic novels, just like there's a difference between a short story and a novel). In his writing life, he has directed the “lives” of zombies, superheroes, goddesses, dominatrices, Bad Girls, pulp heroes, and yes, even frogs, for such diverse bosses as IDW Publishing, Gene Simmons, and The Oxygen Network.

Sean Taylor invites you to join the Crowd in Babylon
in his new collection of dark and horror tales!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA--Featuring 17 tales of Southern horror, dark fantasy, and weird adventure inspired as much by Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, and Shirley Jackson as by F. Marion Crawford, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury, Sean Taylor's A CROWD IN BABYLON takes readers from the chilling underside of the urban landscape to the homegrown terrors of rural life and hidden frights that lie beneath suburban smiles.
This collection includes both stories that have been out of print for a while -- such as "The Fairest of Them All: A Symphony of Revenge," the Zombies vs. Robots (IDW) tale "Farm Fresh," and "Posthumous" -- and brand-new stories, such as the title tale, "A Lot Different from the Brochures, Isn't It?," "The Ghosts of Children," "The Color of the Blues," and many more.
Inside the pages of A CROWD IN BABYLON, readers will meet a diverse and macabre group of characters, including:
• A zombie writer whose work funds the lifestyle of her cheating husband
• A musician who learns that true art requires irretrievable loss
• A Cherokee brave who must face the monsters from his people's legends
• A time-traveling widow nursing a violent and deadly grudge
• A woman who needs four-footed help to teach her grandchild to grieve
• A young writer obsessed with a dead actress
• An immigrant haunted by the vengeful ghosts of children
• And ten other creepy tales!
"This one has been a long time coming," Taylor says. "So much happened to delay the release of this, my first horror collection, but I couldn't stop pushing. Horror is so important to me. It's one of my favorite genres to write, and I hope even a little of that love for the genre shines through the book."
A CROWD IN BABYLON is currently available as a trade paperback for $14.99 (link) and a Kindle ebook (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1WMZMV), both from Amazon.

Show Me a Hero, Sean Taylor's Classic
Cyber Age Adventures Omnibus, Gets New Printing!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA--Cyber Age Adventures classic collection, SHOW ME A HERO, gets a new printing and re-release! That's right! All of Sean Taylor's heroes and villains are coming back for another go-round and will finally be available for sale again at convention appearances and online.
"Sean is a writer of the first order and his stories have always exhibited a literary bent that’s allowed iHero to defy the preconceptions people have about superheroes in a prose format," says Frank Fradella, founder of iHero Entertainment and Cyber Age Adventures.
His omnibus collection, SHOW ME A HERO, features 35 of his superhero stories and all of his "Anytown Gazette" articles that support the stories. Clocking in at more than 500 pages of stories Dwayne McDuffie called "More fully-rounded, more realistic and, as a direct result, more human than all but the best superhero comic book work," the volume hasn't been available at conventions or in-person appearance for almost 15 years.
Praised by folks ranging from Dan Jurgens and Tom Brevoort to Barbara Randall Kessel and Tony Isabella, this collection features such fan-favorite characters as Fishnet Angel, The Fool, The Grandstander, Marble Girl and Living Doll, and Starlight.
"I've never been as proud of a book as I was when SHOW ME A HERO was first released," says Tayor. "And I'm still just as proud to see this new printing become available. I think after the success (and failings) of so many superhero movies, the public is primed all over again for Cyber Age Adventure's blend of literary fiction, pulp fiction, and tights & spandex tales."
The new version of SHOW ME A HERO is currently available as a trade paperback for $19.99 (https://www.amazon.com/Show-Hero-Sean-Hylton-Taylor/dp/B0CVTB7NW8/) from Amazon. The previous edition is still available for Kindle (https://www.amazon.com/Show-Me-Hero-Sean-Taylor-ebook/dp/B00916KDVU/).
Sean Taylor writes short stories, novellas, novels, graphic novels, and comic books (yes, Virginia, there is a difference between comic books and graphic novels, just like there's a difference between a short story and a novel).

After 15 years, Sean Taylor's script book,
WARTS AND ALL, is finally back in print!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Atlanta, GA--After 15 years being out of print, Sean Taylor's script book, WARTS AND ALL, is finally back in print!
The book collects all of Taylor's comic book scripts from The Shooting Star Comics Anthology, Gene Simmons' House of Horrors, All=Star Pulp Comics, and more. WARTS AND ALL also includes never before published comic book scripts.
"If I had a dollar for every time someone at my convention table asked me how to write a comic book script," Taylor writes in the foreword, "let’s just say I’d make a lot more money that way than I ever made getting paid to write."
It's in that spirit he offers these scripts again after selling out of a DIY version he copied on a photocopier years ago and sold out of promptly. Partnering with Kindle Direct, this new edition be available for the long-run both in print and eBook. He will have them for sale on his convention tables and only via Amazon.
What's really special about this new version though, is the brand-spanking-new introduction by none other than best-selling comic book writer (and former Cyber Age Adventures co-writer) Tom Waltz, still spicy from his red-hot run on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMNT The Last Ronin.
