November 2024 Based Book Projects
And EVEN MORE Great Sales
The 2024 Black Friday/Cyber Monday is in full swing with over two hundred based book bargains.
But wait! There’s more! Another couple hundred based books are available in the Everyday Based Book.
And that’s just the beginning of the based book projects active in November.
The Poetic Edda
If you liked Joel Trumbo’s illuminated Beowulf, you’ll want to check this one out, too.
The Poetic Edda contains the heart of ancient Norse myth: the deeds of gods, the wisdom of seers, and the clash of monsters and heroes. From the yawning abyss before creation to the harrowing Twilight of the Gods at Ragnarok, the tales of the Poetic Edda represent the primary literary source from which we have derived our knowledge of ancient Norse beliefs and mythology. This project aims to produce a fine edition worthy of these tales—stylized in the archaic Germanic aesthetic with runic Old Norse text alongside modern English, designed to immerse readers in the mythic world.

Thirty Pieces of Silver (Spirits in the Silicon)
Travis J.I. Corcoran and Lawrence Railey
Every society worships something
In our world, in the 21st century, we worship consumerism, or sexual liberation, or the Party.
...but in the alternate history cyberpunk world of Heretics of the Catacombs, where Rome never fell, where moveable type was invented in 1125, lighter-than-air travel in 1350, and electricity in 1450, society still worships the the One True God, and venerates His saints and apostles.
Worship always involves physical artifacts. In some societies it's rainbow flags. In others, little red books of the Party founder's saying. In the eternal city of Byzantium and the rest of the Roman Empire that never fell, it's relics - a fragment of the True Cross, a tooth of an ancient saint, a piece of a centuries-old transistor radio.
Venture into the neon lit world of Byzantium in the futuristic year of 1754 Anno Domini, when cybernetically augmented monks chant as they swing incense burning thuribles, surgically enhanced hookers flirt with hackers in underground bars, Viking mercenaries sell their guns to the highest bidder, and Aztec traders offer chocolate, gold, and illegal cocaina.
...and in the background, behind the mist and the drizzle, beneath the electroluminescent-lit towers and churches, below the filth and the riches, the forces of Good and Evil do battle in the darkness.
Blood Country (Honeymoon from Hell Book 2)
by Declan Finn
THE HONEYMOON FROM HELL CONTINUES!
Until death do they part.
After surviving their first stop, Marco and Amanda have arrived in wine country.
Everything should go well.
Assuming the dragon constructs made from fire don't derail their train. Or the local triads don't hunt them down. Or if the local politician doesn't turn into some sort of supernatural hell beast.
All in all, it should be a quiet trip.
