SATYRICON

Chancery
Stone

ISBN
978-0-9567154-2-5

Is Elmer Grant
a satyr, a mythic beast unable to contain his own insatiable
hungers, or merely a mortal man who brings infatuation, corruption
and blood into the gossiping, fussy world of a well-known London
department store.

Whatever his
origins, Grant's entry into the staid halls of Smith &
Wainright, manufacturers of fine fabrics to the Queen, is a match
that ignites a powder-keg of sexual frenzy in this dark and
animalistic fairy tale from the creator of The DANNY
Quadrilogy.

Lean, mean and
supremely erotic, it offers a sensual nightmare in a modern world,
peopled with other-worldly creatures and a primeval hunger for
more.

BAD GIRLS

Max
Scratchmann

ISBN
978-0-9567154-1-8

Bad girls,
wicked women; lecherous, treacherous villainesses; hedonistic
harlots, and plain old-fashioned bunny-boiling temptresses.

Immerse
yourself in a feast of delectable depravity with these eight
blackly humorous tales, spanning the familiar gothic grimoire of
murder, lust and revenge with rapacious relish.

Lascivious
lesbians, manipulative mad-women and gruesome gold-diggers are just
a few of the bad girls that you’ll meet in this fast-paced
anthology, which proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the female
of the species is definitely more deadly than the male.

DELANEY

Are You Our
Next Best-Selling Novelist?

Delaney is the
new novel from Poison Pixie’s best-selling author, Chancery Stone,
set in the avant-garde world of modern ballet. Not the rarefied
echelons of tutus, anorexia and men in tights, but the rather more
earthy world of sweaty bodies, nudity and backstabbing. It tells
the story of one Frank Delaney, a street lad training to be a boxer
who is seduced into dancing Nijinsky’s most famous role:
L’après-midi d’un Faune.

At first it is
a war between Jonathan Delmore, company Svengali, and Delaney
himself: an ordinary chap with no ambitions to dance. But then
things get muddy…. There is intrigue, passion, professional
jealousy and, of course, hints of dark secrets just around the
corner.

Secrets
you
get to solve. Because Delaney was never finished.
Although it is already novel length – just short of 200 pages – it
needs a talented, creative author like you to lend it your magic.
Finish the story for us, and what Delaney proves to be is your
choice.

So, if you want
all the challenge and fun of writing a novel, without the tedious
grind of staring at the empty page waiting for inspiration to
strike, this is your defining moment. You will be rewarded with a
full publishing contract, co-writing credit and, of course, you
will become a part of the distinguished Poison Pixie Publishing
stable.

How to Write
the Perfect Novel

Chancery
Stone

ISBN
978-0-9546115-7-6 [Paperback only]

There are
hundreds of conventional writers’ guides on the market, but none so
scathing, cynical and downright cantankerous as this one.

Forget toadying
to publishers or obsessing over return postage; in this insider
exposé veteran author, Chancery Stone, spares no-one’s blushes as
she strips the book world bare and reveals the true natures of
publishers and authors alike.

Packed with
laugh-out-loud parodies of best-selling thrillers, romances, crime,
science fiction, erotica, and even the Booker Prize, How to Write
the Perfect Novel names names and shows no mercy to the
perpetrators, submerging you in such brain-numbing brilliance that
you may never browse through a book shop in quite the same way
again....

"This is the kind of
book that you read for the humour, the scathing remarks and the
blatant flaunting of all the rules. Yet it is so cleverly written
that you find yourself learning things that, quite frankly, none of
the other how-to books teach you."

W H Smith

"The perfect antidote
to the thousands of well-meaning, hefty writers’ guides that
currently flood the market."

Essential Writers

"A bitter look at how
to succeed."

Writers’ Forum

“Chicken soup for the
jaded writer’s soul.”
