Hiram Grange Marches Forward....


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the heels of the release of Hiram Grange and the Village of the Damned (B&N, Amazon, SP), Scott Christian Carr's wildly original novella, Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers, has already begun to create some excitement among advance readers. Hitlers is the second installment in the Scandalous Misadventures of Hiram Grange series.

One of those readers is none other than Loyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and Creator of the Toxic Avenger.  Kaufman read Hitlers, and said it was:

 "more fun than a barrel full of Hitlers... The best novel since Don Quixote!"

Greg Hall, the master of ceremonies over at the Funky Werepig radio show was equally impressed:

“Somewhere in the Underworld, Lovecraft is grinning with delight and Hunter S. Thompson is raising his bottle high. You won’t find a darker, more twisted character than Hiram Grange.”

But the lavish praise and adoration don't stop there! Renowned  sci-fi author Patricia Anthony, who wrote Cold Allies, Brother Termite, Conscience of the Beagle, Happy Policeman, Cradle of Splendor, God's Fires, Flanders, and Eating Memories said this about Hitlers:


"Scott Christian Carr is one of the most insightful writers I know. He's also one of the funniest. Reading 'Twelve Little Hitlers' never fails put you under an intellectual pleasure-dome, which is great in and of itself --- The unexpected surprise is, you'll also laugh your ass off!" 

Stay tuned for the January 2010 release of Carr's Hiram Grange and the Twelve Little Hitlers!

The Advent of Hiram Grange

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hiram Grange Chronicles finally begins with Book One of the series, Hiram Grange & The Village of the Damned, available now on Amazon. You certainly don't have to pick it up to understand my title, Book Four - Hiram Grange & The Chosen One - but it would help, and also it'd be great help in building a fan base for the series.  The first installment has received glowing advance praise, and I'm jazzed that several authors whom I respect and admire have agreed to read mine ahead of time and provide blurbs for me, also.

I'm anticipating a lot of fun with this series, my title in particular.  I've several extra scenes I had to cut due to length, but they all tie into the story nicely, so I plan on releasing them as "webisodes" and through the newsletter, so be looking for that.  As a teaser - now that everything is all coming unwrapped - I've thrown in some of the artwork related to my title.  Just make sure you go check out
