Sometimes I wander aimlessly between all these wonderful
books I want to read and I even lose my path on occasions from writers I enjoy
reading and consider to be my favorites. Andrez
Bergen is such a writer and somewhere down the line I am afraid I lost the
track of reading his novels, despite loving his first two excellent books, “Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat” and “One Hundred Years of Vicissitude”, I
utterly failed to catch up with Andrez Bergen’s next two, “Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?” and “Depth Charging Ice Planet Goth”. I
keep repeating one of these days I’d finally bring these readings up to date,
but until I put my money where my mouth is I should stop repeating it. I am not
sure how soon I’ll manage what I wish for in this case or if I succeed in fulfilling
this goal of mine until the end of the year, but what I am certain of is that
up until December Andrez Bergen’s “Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?”
is up for grabs for free. It is a way for Andrez Bergen and Perfect Edge Books
to thank everyone who supported his works, including his crowdfunding campaigns
for two graphic novels projects, “Tobacco-Stained
Mountain Goat: The Graphic Novel” and “Bullet
Gal”. The latter is still running, so if you want to check the Kickstarter campaign
for “Bullet Gal”, a collection of 12 of comic book issues featuring elements of
hardboiled noir, pulp, crime, sci-fi and superheroes, you can find more information here. As for “Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa?”, the novel
of “456 pages,
including 35 illustrations by international comic book artists, that’s an
homage to silver and golden age comics as well as noir,
pulp and sci-fi/dystopia… partially based in the same last-city-in-the-world
Melbourne asTobacco-Stained Mountain Goat”, you can
downloaded for free from Amazon US, UK or Canada.

Oh wow — thank YOU, Mihai. And never any stress to read my stuff; I'm grateful you read (and enjoyed!) the first 2.
I am definitely on work with the next two. And the ones you'll write in the future. Thank you very much for all your hard work! :)
