Lost Cause Publishing Group is a small print publisher dedicated to providing a publication alternative to authors frustrated with the catch-22 of the system. The system that says in order to get published you need an agent and in order to get an agent you need to have been published. This is a gross oversimplification but that is what it seems like to starting authors. We provide an alternative to authors who have begun to think that getting published is a lost cause. All that matters is the quality of the work. Everything else is peripheral.

    Lost Cause has taken a bit of a hiatus but I assure you that I am not dead. In the publishing world I wish there was more to report on but each project takes some time for me to finish and refine and publish so things seem to sometimes be at a standstill. That’s not why I’ve been quiet for a while this time but I still wouldn’t have had much to say.

    The next release from LCPG will be the promised second edition of Cities of the Androscoggin: Out of the Shadows and that should be up in the next few weeks. Next up will be the promised, and much anticipated, City in the Dark the first novel from resident master of horror Richard Beserra.

    Look for both very soon.

    Work still continues on the as yet untitled Horror Anthology and I am still accepting submissions and suggestions. So if you have a great horror story you want to include or know someone who has one that you want me to take a look at drop me a line and I will be sure to check it out.

[rear cover text] Darius and Monica have worked together in the field of the supernatural for years. In the industrial heart of Maine, from the depths of the undercity, a dark and hungry horror rises. The two follow its trail of slaughter in a race against the clock to prevent their worst nightmares from becoming reality. This resistance is fueled by help from many unbelievable and mystic creatures of legend. An evil spanning from the distant past to the present day. The battle rages from the streets of Lewiston and Auburn to the dreamlike world of ghosts and faeries. Out Of The Shadows is a battle of demons and magic, a nightmare tale of the supernatural. It is a conflict from which they will not all survive. -- Praise for Cities Of the Androscoggin: Out Of The Shadows “Creepy... I couldn’t put it down!” – Emmi Rackliffe, author of Grannies Eat Babies
