Kiss This Filthy Book Plug

Today sees the publication of the horror novel Filth Kiss, by C.J. Lines. This is important for a few reasons: C.J. Lines is my friend naturalbornkaos; this is his first published novel; and it's one hell of a good horror novel!

If you love horror and would like to own the first edition of what will turn out to be a cult classic (just think of all those J.K. Rowlings fans who bought the first edition of Harry Potter, or Stephen King's Carrie - not that his novel is anything like those; he's got his own unique style), go to his Amazon page for info, or the publisher's website. The novel's ISBN number is 978-0955031458, in case you wish to order it from your local bookstore.

I was one of the few lucky people to first read Filth Kiss and I couldn't agree more with the review it received from Gorezone Magazine:

"[Filth Kiss] is written with the style of a poetic genius. Don’t let the word poetic put you off; it’s just my way of saying ‘God, this guy can f**king write!’ and write with a viciousness you’ll have never encountered before. . . If you have a strong stomach and an open mind to controversy then you will want this book - you will marry this book and spend the rest of your twisted lives together.”

The best part is this: once you finish reading the book, naturalbornkaos is right here, on LJ, for you to discuss his book with. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to know people have read it and care. And think of all the dark months ahead of us, and how sometimes there's nothing better than to read something spooky at night.

Yes, I'm shamelessly plugging his novel and hoping you'll order a copy; but I think when it comes to supporting up-and-coming authors, that's the least one can do. Don't have an idea of what to give your mom or dad for Christmas? Give them a copy of Filth Kiss. They'll never forgive you. ;-)
