The Summoning (The Axiom-man Saga, Book 5)

Posted on October 24, 2025 6:15 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Summoning (The Axiom-man Saga, Book 5)

No more.

Redsaw has been terrorizing Winnipeg for too long. Worse, Axiom-man has been unable to stop him and Redsaw has used that opportunity to create his own brand of chaos.

Riots fill the streets. Fires break out every day. Looters run rampant and murderers go unpunished.

No one is safe with Redsaw orchestrating it all from the shadows. Hiding. Untraceable. This battle for power can’t go on. As chaos rips the city apart, the cops are overwhelmed and Axiom-man cannot locate his enemy.

Now, not only does Axiom-man have to settle the battle with Redsaw, he also needs to settle the battle within himself. The mask and cape have taken their toll and the cost is rising, especially since Gabriel being Axiom-man is driving a wedge between him and Valerie Vaughan.

The mission is simple: find Redsaw and put an end to his reign of red-powered darkness forever.

There will be a fight, and Axiom-man has to be ready.

Dystopian YA and Horror Bestsellers in June!

Posted on July 6, 2025 1:33 pm by A.P. Fuchs
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.

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!

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.

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.

Dragonfly

Episode 25: Dragonfly – Talia is giving Darin the night of his life. Everything is perfect. Everything is amazing. She . . . is amazing, and has a cute dragonfly tattoo. But is there a reason?

Time is flying. Story Time is flying. Season Three is almost at an end and you’ve been wonderful listeners as you’ve been coming along for the ride. Thank you.

This week, in Story Before the Story, A.P. Fuchs questions the unknown, moreso stories of the unknown and how are very limited worldview through the lens of five senses causes us to miss a lot of what’s out there, and even for the stuff we can quantify or explain, there are still stories beyond even that.

Listen and learn.

In Story Time, what was supposed to be a night of pleasure turns into something quite different. Tune in to find out what happens when things are going too good.

Be sure to stick around until after the credits for some thoughts on the upcoming SUPERMAN movie in July 2025!

Bar Fight

Episode 24: Bar Fight – Selena is a bit of a scrapper and an off-night at Dave’s Bar leads to a fight that’s one for the record books. Don’t mess with females!

For the opener, author A.P. Fuchs welcomes you to the show in every which kind of way before dropping some notes on upcoming concepts for the next season or two of Story Time.

In Story Before the Story, Fuchs relays how stories can have a strong impact on our emotions, whether the story is real or imagined. Might seem obvious at first glance, but when you delve in . . . you’re being manipulated. Tune in to see what this all means.

Then it’s off to the main event–Story Time–and, well, things happen when you can’t sleep.

Burnt Out

Episode 23: Burnt Out – Writer Peter Fox has simply had enough. He’s tired. Depressed. Wants to keep up but can’t. Perhaps it’s time to write his final story. Perhaps it’s time to say goodbye.

Welcome to the show.

Getting right into it, author and artist A.P. Fuchs talks about how something as simple as your grocery list can also a method of storytelling in Story Before the Story, once again cementing human beings live and breathe stories in everything they do for their entire lives.

Our brains love stories and, as a result, has your entire life all set as one big story with multiple plot points and side quests within that story.

It never ends.

In Story Time, Fuchs gets a little autobio through the lens of fiction, the story about Peter Fox, Fuchs’s pseudonym and author of APRIL and MY ANGEL AND ME.

Tune in.
