Here's what you need to do: go to wordplague.com. Sign up for the forums. Find out about our new releases. Jack's Inferno is currently available in Kindle format on Amazon.com. Print version, Nook, and iBook are on the way. Next check out my editor's book Cat's Claw. It's a futuristic action horror sci-fi novel about demon hunting super soldiers. I did the cover art. Also available is Four Humors, a charity book of short stories (that I also contributed art to) by a group of rogue freelancers from cracked.com.

We have several new titles in the works, both fiction and non-fiction, humor to horror and all things in between. Expect to see more of us in the future.

For now, amuse yourself with these teaser book trailers I made.

JACK'S INFERNO

Wordplague

Wordplague: "When I graduated art school back in 2000, I had a couple of options in front of me. The first involved pursing an MFA in painting, leading to a promising full time career as a professor or gallery artist and illustrator. The second involved going on a seven year bender highlighted by an ocean of booze and Pink Floydian levels of psychedelic drugs. I went with door number 2. The path to Hell is paved with free coke and stripper sex.

It was around 2007 when I finally got motivated again and began to regret my long hiatus from the art world. So I started painting again, and for the first time since high school I tried my hand at writing.

I had two separate ideas to begin with. The first idea was for a gritty supernatural horror story about a modern day version of Hell. The second idea was for a humorous semi non-fiction account of my surreal drunken exploits over the years. So instead of doing both projects individually, I did something that was as epic as it was lazy: I combined them, and Jack’s Inferno was born.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I HAVE A PUBLISHER

Yes, I know it's been a long time since I updated. I've been busy.

First off, if you haven't seen my humor column Bad Acid yet, you should go do that now. It's here: http://www.pointsincase.com/columns/mike-lamb. I've got 14 articles up right now, with a new one every week or two. You can also follow the adventures of Copernicus Thunderbird, Homeless Lunatic Wizard.

Second, go buy my artwork. http://www.zazzle.com/dasempire

Third, check out my article on Cracked.com. I co-wrote and illustrated it. http://www.cracked.com/article_19136_8-terrifying-skeletons-adorable-animals.html

Fourth, and this is the big one, JACK'S INFERNO IS BEING PUBLISHED AND IS DUE OUT NEXT MONTH. Who's publishing it, you ask? Wordplague. A brand new small press of rogue freelancers from the Cracked comedy workshop that I also happen to work for as an illustrator. The first book is called The Four Humors. All profits are for charity. It's a collection of short stories and art with an introduction by David Wong, author of the cult favorite John Dies at the End (currently being made into a motion picture directed by Don Coscorelli).

More Wordplague books lined up in the following months including a series of humorous non-fiction themebooks (starting with The Deathbook), a sci-fi horror novel about demon hunters, a multi-author tale involving steampunk Cthulu, and of course, Jack's Inferno, a dark comedy about hell. Scheduled release date is 6/20/11. Stay tuned.
