IT CAME FROM HANGAR 18: the cover

Written By Will Viharo
For months on my Facebook page I've been teasing about my "Top Secret Freelance Writing Project," concurrently concocted with my gonzo-bizarro-pulp novella FREAKS THAT CARRY YOUR LUGGAGE UP TO THE ROOM, which is now available. Now I can tell you this much: I'm almost finished working on IT CAME FROM HANGAR 18, originally conceived by my co-author Scott Fulks, a fellow frequenter of Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge, though trust me - this will be perhaps the ultimate Will Viharo pulp novel. It will be available in early 2012. Below is the back cover blurb. More details will be revealed about this epic very soon, long before its release, but for now, here is the fantastic cover by artist Michael Fleming.  For further updates, stay tuned to this blog and the official Facebook fan page. Aloha.


IT CAME FROM HANGAR 18 is the most action-packed, erotic science fiction epic since The Bible - but with even more sex and violence!  IT mixes hardcore sex with hard science, conspiracy theories with conspicuous satire, mythological monsters with mutated mobsters, flesh-eating feminists with voyeuristic vampires, and creates a potent literary Tiki cocktail pulsating with pulp, planets, pulchritude, politics, and a plethora of other “p” words. This is essential end-of-the-world desert-island flashlight-under-the-covers reading, the ultimate B movie in literary form, and the most tantalizing textbook in the annals of anarchic academia.

WILL "THE THRILL" VIHARO is a freelance writer and the author of several "gonzo pulp" novels including "A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge," "Freaks That Carry Your Luggage up to the Room," "Chumpy Walnut," "Lavender Blonde," "Down a Dark Alley," and the “Vic Valentine, Private Eye” series, the first of which, "Love Stories Are Too Violent For Me," has been optioned for a film by Christian Slater, reissued in 2013 by Gutter Books, which also published the new Vic Valentine novel "Hard-boiled Heart" in December, 2015.

Two science fiction novels, "It Came from Hangar 18" and "The Space Needler's Intergalactic Bar Guide," were written in collaboration with Scott Fulks, who added real science to Will's pulp.

Will's own imprint, Thrillville Press, has issued a three volume anthology series featuring all of his standalone novels called "The Thrillville Pulp Fiction Collection," along with another omnibus called "The Vic Valentine Classic Case Files," which include four novels from the 1990s, "Fate Is My Pimp," "Romance Takes a Rain Check," "I Lost My Heart in Hollywood," and "Diary of a Dick," plus a recent short story, "Brain Mistrust."
