We're back with the latest edition of our Indie Spotlight. This weeks's feature includes werewolves, zombies at Comic-Con, an 8-Bit Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter game we wish really existed, and more:
City Under the Moon: This is the debut novel by Hugh Sterbakov, the Emmy-nominated writer of Robot Chicken:
"On New Year's Eve in Manhattan, a werewolf attack sparks an epidemic. Each night the victims multiply. The disease spreads. An army grows. As authorities scramble to contain the monsters, they discover that one man is behind them. His name is Demetrius Valenkov. And he has a message for the United States: FIND A CURE.
The disease evades an international coalition of top scientists. The president must prepare an unspeakable solution. But one person has picked up Demetrius Valenkov's trail: FBI counterterrorism specialist Brianna Tildascow. Forged by tragedy, training and technology, she's the government's most efficient-and ruthless-manhunter.
Assisted by a horror blogger and a squad of elite commandos, Tildascow must hunt Valenkov across the globe and uncover the sinister secret of the curse threatening mankind. Tens of thousands are infected. Time is running out."

NightWhere: John Everson’s sixth novel has been released by Samhain Publishing as an e-book, with a trade paperback due out in October:
"NightWhere follows Mark and Rae, an oversexed couple who indulge in the “swinger” lifestyle. But Mark is really the follower here; he knows that in order to keep Rae, he has to let her indulge in all of her kinky desires, even those that include bondage and pain. They’ve found a workable, if unusual balance in their marriage… until they get an invite to the mysterious NightWhere, a floating sex club talked about in swinger circles only in whispers. Only those invited gain entry – and the location changes every month. Their balance is quickly ruined as Rae finds the club answers all of her dreams and begins to pull away from Mark. The trappings of whips and chains here are not just trappings.
In NightWhere, people bleed. Soon Rae’s unbridled exuberance is noticed and she receives an invite to the club within the club, known only as The Red. She attends NightWhere without Mark, breaking their longtime marital agreement, and then one night, she doesn’t come home. Can Mark find his way back to the club, and can he save Rae from herself… and the ghoulish Watchers who supervise the club and hold the keys to its secret places?"
