There once was great age of theaters - buildings filled with the scent of stale popcorn and entertainment that had everyone cheering...or cringing...as stories unfolded. Most offered a double feature that kept audiences enthralled for hours. We, here at Strigidae Publishing, wish to bring back the fun of those days gone by, giving authors the opportunity to deliver novellas just the right size to chew on. MATRIARCHAL NAZI CANNIBALS by Jason Offutt Holle is a cute little town of 500, nestled in the half-forgotten hills of Missouri. The only industry still floating among the cluster of buildings is the meat packing plant...well that and Gretta's cafe. Smiles from the townspeople are a little too broad...a little too lingering...and appear just a little too hungry. Heidi Gottschalk and her friends hit town from the university hoping to finish a film project before the semester's over. Stranded in Holle, the friends find out just how lively the night life can be. THE MENACING OF JULIA by Adam Millard Julia has a lot on her plate. Not only is she walking through life by working in a lousy excuse for a bar, but she's taking care of her teenage sister who's struggling with the ravages from cancer. A stranger appears one night, interrupting her pushing of alcoholic bliss on the masses. The charming Pryce is full of confidence, oozing with charm. "Oozing" is something Julia doesn't have time for, or want even if circumstances were better. ...but Pryce isn't one to take no for an answer."
