Broken Frontier

Evileye Books today announced the launch of THE PACK, a new horror series created by writer and Bram Stoker Award winner, Mike Oliveri.

The second book in the series is an original graphic novel titled, CHIMAERA, to be released in spring 2010.

Under the terms of the publishing agreement, Mr. Oliveri will write one prose fiction book and one graphic novel each year.

"THE PACK is an offshoot of my fascination with the werewolf legends," said Mr. Oliveri. "The potential to explore the generational histories and clashes between the family members and the changing world just seems limitless. With my prose roots, I know the themes can be presented in a thrilling, narrative way. But werewolf stories are also so visually rich—especially in their violent attack and battle scenes—that I wanted to explore the graphic potential of my stories as well.  With THE PACK series of fiction and graphic novels, I'll be able to explore facets of the werewolf mythos that have been largely ignored."

Mike Oliveri is the author of the Bram Stoker Award-winning novel, "Deadliest of the Species". His horror fiction has appeared in critically acclaimed editions of "Brimstone Turnpike," "New Dark Voices" and "Dark Arts," among others. Oliveri has also written the comic book limited series, "Werewolves: Call of the Wild" and contributed a short story to "The Phantom Chronicles".

Brian Keene, best-selling horror scribe, calls THE PACK: WINTER KILL "a masterful blend of crime, suspense and the supernatural."

"THE PACK is huge, epic and ambitious," said A.N. Ommus, Editorial Director of Evileye Books. "Mike Oliveri's take on werewolves throws out the tired stereotype of the man overcome by the physical transformation and the uncontrollable violent urges to kill and moves the legends into new territory, posing new questions and possibilities. Yet, Mike still delivers the gore and action hardcore horror fans crave."

"Mike Oliveri writes with an audacious and unflinching style guaranteed to punch you in the guts and get you coughing blood." --Tom Piccirilli, author of "Shadow Season" and "The Cold Spot".
