Hey Y'all,

With my readership and subsequent following ever-growing, people who newly meet me often ask what book of mine (B. L. Blankenship) they should start by reading. Typically, I tell them "Look Away Dixieland: A Collection of Western Horror Stories." The reason is that it consists of 13 short stories and bears the general style & tone of my longer Western Horror books. Being shorter in length it's far less intimidating than some of my larger books and series. Howbeit, with my bibliography growing that answer may change. "The Confederado: A Western Horror Tale of MesoAmerican Gore" is the embodiment of what I and many others feel that SplatterPunk/SplatterWesterns should be. Besides these, I'm adding an odd side to my world of Western Horror (i.e. Science Fiction).

In the next few months the first issue of my series/serial "Abraham Lincoln Burns in Hell" will be released in eBook & Paperback formats. The #1 Issue's eBook will be FREE. The paperbacks are projected to be about $5 each (being around 50 pages in length). Far from my general wide-sweeping third-person style of writing, it'll mostly consist of a collection of letters, journal entries, newspaper articles, and such to tell a story (i.e. so Sherlock Holmes/Bram Stoker's Dracula style). Whereas everything else that I write is extremely violent and highly sexualized Adult-Fiction, this series will be YA friendly.
The general premise is Shakespeare quoting ladies man John Wilkes Booth travels inter-dimensionally to assassinate other tyrannical variants of Abraham Lincoln on different Earths. Ergo, in some regard, it has a Sliders/Dr. Who sort of feel. In one book he'll be on this Earth, in the next he'll be on another. I will add (SPOILER) that ISSUE #1 will take John Wilkes Booth to a Steampunk (slightly Dieselpunk) Boston, Massachusetts.

...Those are simple ways to get a taste of my writing. Furthermore, "A Book With No Name: Western Horror Anthology" (that I'm personally heading up) will be out before Summer 2022. The cut-off for my contributors is April 27th (my birthday, if you wonder), thus it's likely set to land in May. All of the contributors are great. I'll have plenty of original stories, poems, and such in it of mine that is found nowhere else. It'll not only open people up to more of my works but the other terrific authors who are involved with it.

Still, some folks just like to go for the throat and jump directly into my "God Walks The Dark Hills" series. Book IV is set to be out WINTER 2022. A stand-alone book will come out between each of them. I intend to have one out per year until finished (i.e. Book VI).
