Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

June did pretty good in terms of book sales. Had some that outshone the others so am mentioning them here.

What was especially pleasing was seeing ZOMBIE FIGHT NIGHT: BATTLES OF THE DEAD on there. It’s an older book but seems to fly under the radar most of the time despite it being an effort to put everything awesome into one tale.

Also on a personal level was seeing folks picking up GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE. Swamp horror is always fun and these three all-in-one novellas were a B-movie love letter to the horrors of the swamp. Reviews have been solid on this one so maybe someday this type of gigantic monster thriller will be revisited.

Melinda Marshall scored well with THE TYPHON PROJECT. If you’re into dystopian YA (young adult) fiction, it’ll be right up your alley, especially with all the genetic fooling around.

And then, of course, we had bigfoot because, well, who doesn’t love bigfoot? Nice to see my anthology effort with Eric S. Brown still has some legs.

Thank you to everyone who supported Coscom Entertainment last month. We’re a very small publishing house but have been around bringing books to the public since 2004 in various incarnations . . . and we’re still standing.

Thank you again for these dystopian YA and horror bestsellers this past June.

If you’re interested in the above titles or books in a similar vein, the Book and Comic Shop here on this site is your best bet for selection as all is shown there all in one place.

(June’s book titles listed above take you straight to Amazon for paperback or Kindle editions.)

Cheers.

Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Posted on June 25, 2025 1:03 pm by A.P. Fuchs Comment

Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Turns of phrase. Manipulation of words. Writing beats and pacing. Take a concept and tell it once then spin it around and tell it again. There are so many versions of wordplay out there and it is every writer’s duty to play with those words if they want to bring their writing up a level or three.

A.P. Fuchs is of the opinion that every writer should listen to Eminem at least once. The man is a master at lyrics, poetry, flips of script and turns of phrase. Plenty of lessons about wordplay and pacing can be obtained by listening to his music.

Watch this short video as Fuchs explains why every writer should listen to Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, the one and only Eminem.

Thanks.

So pumped for this movie. I can’t wait for Superman, and I can’t wait to . . . look up!

Extermination

Episode 29: Extermination – Earth. A planet filled with parasites that suck up resources without care of consequence. The Glowr orbiting the planet is not pleased. Might be time for a reset.

Here we are! The finale of Season Three of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast!

Three seasons in a little under two years. Not bad. Lots of stories shared, lots of tales told, lots of writer and artist A.P. Fuchs looking like a goofball. Either way, it’s been a fun season and a fun ride.

What’s that? Will there be a Season Four? Well, you’re gonna have to tune in to find out.

Enjoy this recap, look-back episode along with one final science fiction story to end the season!

Thanks again for joining me. Always thankful.

Cheers,

A.P. Fuchs

Thief

Episode 28: Thief – An aging Robin Hood fights what could be his last battle. One man against many. One man in the biggest Holy War of all.

Welcome to the second-to-last episode of Season Three of Story Time with A.P. Fuchs!

Today you’re in for a treat because we have a flash fiction tale about the legendary Robin Hood! Adventure, fun, and a little bit of sneakiness.

During Story Before the Story, Fuchs talks about how our need for stories sometimes takes control and we have to find out what happened. It’s built-in. It’s how we’re made. It’s all good.

After the story, there’s a little something after the credits Fuchs wants you to consider and it’s best heard via the watch/listen version on YouTube because he’s gonna show you something neat.

Thanks for tuning it!

Be sure to join us next week for a special episode as we wrap up this season and talk a little bit about Season Four.

Be there!

vLog – Action Figure and Funko Pop Collectibles Shopping Trip at Galaxy Comics

and Collectibles!

Join me as I visit Galaxy Comics and Collectibles for some action figures and Funko Pops!

Loads of selection and a ton of stuff from McFarlane Toys. Their comic book selection is also quite good and it is there I get my Nightwing comics from.

This trip’s shopping haul got me the Cyborg Superman Funko Pop Comic Cover and a Nightwing action figure from the New 52.

My girlfriend also cashed in her birthday gift from me so some other goodies were picked up for her, namely a Wonder Woman Funko and a She-Ra Princess of Power Funko.

Fun times. I’ll be back there as usual soon enough.

Thank you for watching Axiom-man TV.

The Jump

Episode 27: The Jump – Master Bram is always right, and when he asks Tina to jump off the cliff, it is then, for the first time, she wonders if all he’s led her to believe is true. But Master Bram always tells the truth. A choice needs to be made.

Welcome back to Story Time with writer, artist, nerd, and Pop Culture fanatic A.P. Fuchs. Thanks for joining us for what is now twenty-seven episodes into Season Three! Whether you’re here for the first time or have been here before, this podcast door is always open to you for a tale.

In Story Before the Story, Fuchs touches on cults and what stories might be told to convince someone to follow along with “the plan” as we explore the concept of stories being a part of everyday life–all the time.

Also, don’t forget to be around for after the credits for a podcast confession! Gah!

Lego Minifigure Unboxing | Superman and Krypto, Symbiote Spider-Man, Supergirl,

and Build-a-long!

A whole lot of minifigures and an extra something special came in the other day, so for this Minifigure Monday for something different, we’re doing a Lego unboxing and a mini teaser showcase of the new figures. Focused shorts and reels on each will follow, but I thought it’d be fun to share how they arrive and how they need to be built.

In this video we build Superman and Krypto from the new movie together!

The minifigures:
- Superman and Krypto
- Superman Blackest Night
- Symbiote Spider-Man
- Supergirl
- Superman Justice League coin
Enjoy this Lego Minifigure unboxing video!

Thank you for watching Axiom-man TV.

Realm of Heroes and Monsters Back on the Air

Posted on May 25, 2025 8:08 am by A.P. Fuchs
Back on the Air

Aaaand . . . we’re back on the air!

(Or, at least, I hope so.)

Bottomline: WordPress updated and my site went screwy and, due to time constraints, I was unable to address it straightaway. The blog was visible and accessible to you, but not to me in regards to the back end where the content creation is done and what brings you new posts.

Anyway, after a debacle with my hosting provider, I fixed it myself (but, to be fair, they did provide a link that helped with troubleshooting but, in the end, it was a fix not part of their instruction; whatever).

So this is why the blog hasn’t been updated in a while and content is a bit behind. Please be patient with me as I bring this website back up to speed, but I wanted to drop this note to say we’re back up and running.

Thanks.
- A.P. Fuchs
PS: Why not check some monster and superhero books while waiting? Thanks again.

Succumb

Episode 26: Succumb – Matt made a deal to do anything for his family. He just didn’t realize the true cost of his bargain and how his tormentor has no plans of letting him go.

Welcome to episode twenty-six of Story Time! Glad to have you as always. Every single listener is appreciated so please know that. You’re special to this writer so thank you.

Before we head into the realm of horror, in Story Before the Story, A.P. Fuchs discusses the “rewind,” a storytelling item we all do but perhaps not always realize. Some of our life actions mirror how we handle the intake of stories. What’s this all mean? Tune in and find out, then, after, head into a tale where one man’s love for others cost him everything.

As usual, please stick around until after the credits because there’s always one more thing to say.

Peace.
