AXP’s new title ‘Women of the Apocalypse’ was posted on Amazon.com earlier this month and even though it hasn’t officially been released yet, it already has a review.

Four Stories – So different – so Good
By Lin
This book has a very different premise. Archangels, all men, leave a guy (Tobias) on earth to warn them if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse plan to destroy humanity. That guy is supposed to get four male champions to fight the horsemen. When four women drink the Four Horsemen shooters (and there’s a recipe) and get empowered instead of the men, the angels aren’t happy. Then the fun begins. Four very different stories, all with surprises. I was going to read one story each night. I read all four stories last night. This whole book is a very good read, every story. Angels aren’t always what you think they are and neither are the horsemen. And I warn you, you might get your eyes opened about where famine will strike.

Great news for our four novella authors.

Also, our other new title ‘Creatures of the Night’ has a promotional video created by one of the authors in the anthology. Check it out.

This is certainly a great way to spread the word and it’s given us here at AXP a few promotional ideas for our future titles.

Coming Soon: Women of the Apocalypse

Posted by Absolute XPress on September 21, 2009 with Comments Comments

AXP is proud to announce that we have a new title coming soon called “Women of the Apocalypse”.

This collaborative novella collection is about four women who are mistakenly chosen to be the champions against the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Written by Eileen Bell, Billie Milholland, Roxanne Felix and Ryan McFadden, this book is due out on October 31st and you can expect a book launch at the World Fantasy Conference in San Jose (more details to follow).

More information about the book can be found on the book page here on the AXP website, the official Women of the Apocalypse website, or in the description below.

Four women. Four shooters. Four destinies to save the world…

The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse are coming. So, four Archangels find the perfect champions to save the world. Fighters, warriors, soldiers, brave men all, ready to fight for humanity against end times. All they have to do is drink a shooter — a caustic mix of alcohol and divinity that will imbue them with the conviction to battle the Four.

The only problem is, these warriors don’t drink the shooters. Call it fate, chance, or what you will, but four women drink the divine concoction. Alexandra Carlton, Julia Wolfe, Emily Keller and Dinah Medrano must all take up the mantles of champion…. Whether they want to or not.

Four writers, four heroines, four Riders of the Apocalypse. The world will never be the same again.
