\"\"SIOUX FALLS, S.D. and SARANAC LAKE, NY \u2014 Formerly only available on Amazon\u2014in both Kindle and paperback versions\u2014the backwoods survival horror novel Gristle<\/em> will soon be found at major retailers and public libraries around the world. Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, thousands of libraries in North and South America as well as in Europe will have the e-book version of Gristle<\/em> available, opening up Allen and Miller’s novel to a brand new global audience.<\/p>\n

Gristle<\/em> is the story of a father seeking redemption after failing his son in the worst way possible. As the father turns to alcohol and the son to crime, they receive an opportunity to heal their emotional scars on a deer-hunting trip deep in the woods of the Adirondack Mountains. Instead of finding closure, they find themselves with the tables turned as the hunters become the prey for a family of cannibals more grotesque and evil than their worst nightmares could ever fathom.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started writing Gristle<\/em>, our main goal was to merge the no-holds-barred violence survival-horror is known for with an emotional depth rarely seen in the genre,\u201d said Allen. \u201cBrutality without an emotional component is nothing more than bargain-basement \u2018torture porn.\u2019 We were aiming for something deeper, for drama to go along with all the death and destruction. Whether or not we pulled that off is for readers to decide, but New Ebook Library believes we did, and we are very appreciative of their support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen and Miller have also teamed up to write the splatterpunk heavy metal horror novella Mudslingers<\/em> and an anthology of short stories called Chunks of Hell<\/em>. They are currently developing a werewolf novel tentatively titled Cycle of Savagery. Gristle<\/em> is their most popular and best seller, though, and by signing with New Ebook Library, the novel has new life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew the moment Mark and I finished Gristle<\/em> that it had legs that should stretch far and wide,\u201d said Miller. \u201cAnd it did, but with it available solely on Amazon, we knew we were missing out. With horror as popular as the genre has ever been, we know Gristle<\/em> would make for a gripping movie as well. Thanks to New Ebook Library for believing in Gristle and putting it in front of people who haven’t had the avenue or opportunity to read it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gristle<\/em> will be available as one of New Ebook Library’s newest horror releases on April 18, 2019. The publisher focuses on creating pulp style books in the arenas of Crime, Horror, Romance, Adventure, Science Fiction, and Westerns, as they put it, \u201cThe way books used to be.\u201d Head over to www.nelibrary.com<\/a> to check out all of their new releases, and be sure to pick up Gristle<\/em> while you are there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
