IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE

His legend continues.

The horror world was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of pulp horror legend Guy N. Smith on Christmas Eve 2020. Whilst his family mourned, they also took stock of Guy’s achievements and begun working to ensure that his huge body work will still be available for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Throughout 2020 the Sinister Horror Company were working with Guy on the release of three new books and we are proud to announce that this work will continue, as the family have agreed to allow us the honour of publishing these titles.

The first of the three books is Satanic Armageddon. This story continues the adventures of John Mayo, an agent of counter terrorism recognisable due to the black fedora he wears. Mayo originally appeared in The Black Fedora (1991), followed by a seqeul The Knighton Vampires (1993) and then in a short story, The Grim Reaper (1997)

Satanic Armageddon features an introduction from Guy, where he explains the original inspiration behind the character of John Mayo. The artwork, which we can reveal here, was created by Mike McGee, with a design in-keeping with the first two books in the series. Mike worked on the cover of Guy’s The Casebook of Raymond Odell, that was released in Dec 2020. Guy was over the moon with Mike’s art when he saw it for the detective collection, and so Mike was a natural choice of artist to work on this title, and we’re sure Guy would have been equally impressed.

The book is due to be released on 30th April 2021, with pre-order links, forthcoming on Amazon and the Sinister Horror Company website.

Satanic Armageddon blub:

The forces of evil, led by Satan's disciple, were massing worldwide to overthrow democracy.

Throughout the UK and Europe the forces of evil were gathering to destroy democracy.

Bombs, shootings, vehicles mowing down unsuspecting pedestrians in the streets. Death and destruction were rife.

Military and police were stretched. A terrorist, reputed to have a connection with the Dark Powers, was organising a massive army of fanatical murderers. He had to be located and killed before sheer evil ruled the world.

There was one man who just might be able to achieve this, John Mayo, known as the Man in the Black Fedora. He is summoned out of retirement by Counter Terrorism Command and given the task of achieving a seemingly impossible mission against overwhelming odds.

But that’s not all. We have two more titles from Guy we are currently putting the finishing touches to.

Late summer will see the release of a short story collection entitled From The Dark Hours. This collection features both new stories and rare older stories, with some familiar characters to GNS fans popping up along the way. Expect the terror in these tales to feature ghosts, savage animals, hunting and malicious forces both natural and supernatural.

Then as the year draws to a close we will be releasing the last book that Guy worked on. Unusually it was a collaboration, and it speaks volumes about his enthusiasm and drive that even in his eighties the pulp horror legend was still up for trying new ways of working. The novel, entitled Beheaded, is a collaboration with J. R. Park, author of Mad Dog and Punch.

More details on these titles will be announced as they are finalised.

Guy N. Smith has been a best-selling author for over 40 years. He has published 120 novels and around 400 short stories and articles on various subjects.

“Night of the Crabs” was his breakthrough hit, becoming an instant best seller with the movie rights sold. Since then there have been no fewer than 7 sequels. “Killer Crabs” is currently being filmed. Sadly Guy passed away in December 2020, but his work and legend continues to delight and terrorise audiences of all ages.

Satanic Armageddon will be available on kindle and paperback from Amazon and the Sinister Horror Company website from the 30th April 2021.
Pre-order to be made available in due course.
