Hey, it's my birthday and I'm working on a new Sam Harrigan novel. The best gift you could give me would be giving the first Sam Harrigan novel a chance. If you like classic PI mysteries, gunfights, fistfights and femme fatales, you'll love it.

The new issue of Weird Fiction Quarterly is out and includes my story "Jikoshi (An Accidental Death)"!
Contained within are over 50 stories, or traps, for as many different ghosts. Most of them are not very friendly.
A distinct possibility exists that one or more of these traps could fail, granted the reader (redacted). Weird Fiction Quarterly is not responsible if any number of these spirits happen to break out of the page and follow the reader home. LONG BEFORE THEY DIE is here at last!  For the tenth anniversary of its original publication, multiple award-nominated mystery author Brandon Barrows has specially revised his first novel, This Rough Old World trimming the excess and giving us a tighter, cleaner narrative that warrants a new title and cover!
Music, madness, and murder in the psychedelic sixties! Los Angeles, 1968, a time of radical change for everyone but part-time private-eye Tom Ahearn, who's stuck in a rut of routine and self-pity. When Charlie, a hippy of the lowest order, offers a quick buck for what seems like an easy job, Tom dives head-first into a world of casual sex, drugs, music and the occult. He'll find himself rubbing shoulders with hippies, young Republicans itching for war, and slumming socialites bent on nothing less than completely reshaping the cosmos--all while unknowingly witnessing the nascence of one of the twentieth century's most notorious evils. Here's what some folks think of it! "Hard-edged and pulsing with life... pulls you in and nails you. An excellent read." - Rusty Barnes, author of RIDGERUNNER & KNUCKLEDRAGGER "Cosmic horror meets California noir in the Age of Aquarius. Good, dark fun with a shocking, revelatory climax." - Matthew M. Bartlett, author CREEPING WAVES "Both a rich noir and Lovecraftian period piece and both aspects are equally compelling." - Jonathan Raab, author of THE HILLBILLY MOONSHINE MASSACRE "Barrows holds nothing back in this gritty noir fable with a dash of Lovecraftian weirdness thrown in. Recommended of fans of Ross MacDonald and anyone who likes their fiction WEIRD!" - Tom Breen, author of THE ORFORD PARISH HOUSE MURDERS So what are you waiting for? Get yours right here! Five more days until LONG BEFORE THEY DIE is unleashed on the world!  Music, madness, and murder in the psychedelic sixties!
