A bold new voice in American fiction. Watch this man! You may be in at the birth of a legend."--William F. Nolan (co-author of "Logan's Run"; screenwriter for "Burnt Offerings")+++"[Brock] makes the fantastic utterly believable... a fine writer, indeed."--George Clayton Johnson (writer for "Star Trek" and "The Twilight Zone"; co-author, "Logan's Run")+++"Bravo!"--Ray Bradbury (author of "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Martian Chronicles")+++"...a clever young man, Jason Brock."--Harlan Ellison (author of "Deathbird Stories" and "A Boy and His Dog")+++"[Brock] knows how to tell a story... [he] has heart... real emotion... [it's] a strong part of writing that most writers never capture."--James Robert Smith (author of "The Flock" and "Hissmelina")+++"[Brock] takes... characters into places I never expected..."--Richard Matheson (author of "Somewhere in Time" and "I Am Legend")+++++**MILTON'S CHILDREN**"Fun and clever and full of storytelling energy. You are bound to like this one."--Joe R. Lansdale (Edgar Award winning Author, "The Bottoms"; "Edge of Dark Water")+++"This richly textured novella is a triumph--a splendid fusion of horror and science fiction, of the cosmic and the human. It fulfills the promise of Jason V Brock's earlier work and establishes him as a force to be reckoned with in contemporary weird fiction."--S. T. Joshi (World Fantasy Award winning Author, "H. P. Lovecraft: A Life"; "The Weird Tale") +++"As satisfying as a novel, Jason V Brock's story 'Milton's Children' combines classic elements of H. P. Lovecraft and Jules Verne with modern sensibilities to spin a yarn that is part adventure tale and part horror story. I loved it, but it is thoroughly a dire warning: When we become monsters, we also create monsters."--Ray Garton (World Horror Convention Grand Master; Author, "Live Girls"; "Sex and Violence in Hollywood")+++"Venture into the Antarctic, where Jason V Brock will plunge you into one of the most terrifying Lost Worlds stories imaginable: Make no mistake, this is no Lovecraft or Crichton knockoff; the S-F/Horror story revealed here on this undiscovered island is original and scientifically plausible. The writing is crisp, precise, and easily accessible; the plotting sharp and compelling; and once the action starts it is non-stop, the reader only able to catch their breath at its very conclusion. . . Underlying the writing, one is totally convinced that they are in good authorial hands--what I call the marvelous 'Allstate Effect,' achieved rarely by only the most highly-skilled authors. Snag this book! Copy its byline: Jason V Brock, and put it up on the fridge, then underline it--after that, be sure to watch for more exciting, literate stories to come. Highly recommended."--Gene O'Neill (Bram Stoker Award® winning Author, "Taste of Tenderloin"; "The Burden of Indigo")----------------------------------JASON V BROCK's work has been widely published in magazines, comics, online, and in anthologies such as Dark Scribe Press's "Butcher Knives & Body Counts"; Bluewater Comics's mini-series' "Tales from William F.
