The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven
Begin transmission . . .
Running from March 2024 to January 2025, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.
This newsletter year explored the theme of fluidity, which meant Fuchs didn’t set a specific format and instead wrote freely week to week about whatever was going on and, of course, did his best to entertain and inform.
Year Seven broke a streak of two long newsletter years and was instead delivered to readers weekly without missing an issue.
Topics include: work updates, access to digital content, writing and publishing discussion, an open letter about the rise of AI, thoughts on life, points of amusement, and general fun.
Exclusive to this collection is a special newsletter, Issue Three Hundred Thirteen A, unavailable anywhere else.
Welcome to The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven.

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.

Booktube: Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy Book Spotlight
Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own.
Not again.
There is something different about this world, something familiar. Something that feels like . . . home. But this place of red mist and darkness belongs to another crusader, this one in a dark red trench coat, a blood-red cloak, and a fedora casting shadows on a face with goggles and a strange mask.
With no clue where this red mist brought him, Axiom-man and this crimson stranger are swept into a bizarre hotel where each floor brings a deadly new mission, and to make matters worse, Axiom-man doesn’t have his powers.
Trial upon trial ensues as Axiom-man and a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak try to survive deadly traps in a building from hell.
One blue. One red.
One common enemy.
The battle to survive begins.

About CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS:
“A.P. Fuchs’ s Caught in Black Headlights highlights life things, all sorts of things, with a wondrous and unrelenting discernment and a brilliant sense of lyricism.” – John Urbancik, author of Annabel Lee, in Shadow
All right, World,
This is how it’s going to be:
Rhymes and verse
Melodies rehearsed
Across life’s rocky sea.
Listen up, Folks,
This is how we’re going to play:
Thoughts and comments,
Displays of indominance,
Making the rounds all day.
Read a poem, maybe two,
Pick three if you wish to dare.
Ramblings and coherence,
Sometimes jots of incoherence
Anything for poetic flare.
So get some eyes on some words
And give the brain a try.
You win some.
You lose most.
But in the end, Solomon said,
It’s vapor in the sky.
Enjoy and explore,
Please do, I implore.
Let’s talk about life bizarre
‘Cause it’s pretty complex stuff
Said Harvey Pekar.

Live Stream No. 3: Dystopian YA Author Melinda Marshall at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024
Live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 author A.P. Fuchs interviews author Melinda Marshall about her new Dystopian YA release, THE TYPHON PROJECT!
This book was a hot seller at the show and Melinda put a lot of work into it. The miracle of this book is the first draft was written in three days as part of a novel writing contest. Of course, it went through revisions and edits after, but getting a first draft out in three days is an impressive feat.
Listen to Melinda as she discusses her new book that debuted at the convention and found its way into many readers’ hands.
THE TYPHON PROJECT by Melinda Marshall:
Short synopsis:
To save humanity, Leah is among the chosen for genetic modification. She is sent to The Typhon Project with the hope of finding a cure to save what’s left of the planet. But she can’t shake the suspicion something isn’t right.

Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September
Monsters and Mechs Bestsellers in September
Though I’m not one to have a constant eye on the sales charts, running a publishing house requires administration now and then to keep things organized and knowing what’s where and what’s what so that, should the paperwork ever need to be looked at by an authority from the outside, I have all my ducks in a row.
I’m a huge proponent of proper business management for any creator regardless of craft or medium. If you’re selling your work, you’re a business therefore things need to be addressed in that light.
September 2024 saw some cool titles for top sales. While true that every book is an author’s baby, let’s be honest, some babies are cuter than others. In the case of MECH APOCALYPSE, GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE, and ZOMTROPOLIS, these are babies I personally consider among the top cute ones in my crib. They also have favorable reviews so, I suppose, that means others think they’re cute too.
Ah, metaphors.
Thank you to everyone who supported these titles last month. I truly hope you enjoy(ed) reading them and that they take/took you on a wild ride through the fantastic, whether terrifying or scientific or a bit of both.
Oh, and let’s not forget the action part. Lots of that in all of them, too. I mean, monsters and mechs. What else would there be?
Thank you again. It means a lot to a creator when their work is supported. Like I’ve mentioned on this blog before, if I was independently wealthy, all this stuff would be free and paperbacks would only be charged at cost so a sweet deal for you. Until that day, thank you in advance for any further support.
