Irons: Cursed Cargo

by Eric Turowski

Cursed Cargo
Following a narrow escape from the Federales, Irons flees across the Mexican border—and straight into a new dark adventure. Of course, everything the giant biker stumbles into is fraught with paranormal, supernatural, or just outright weird peril.
Irons, intrigued by an archeological discovery—a ship in the desert—as much as an occult prophecy spouted by a mysterious sect, must find a way out when a black ceremony unleashes a cosmic horror that shreds the fabric of reality.

About the author

Eric Turowski is the author of Willing Servants, 21st Century Pulp, as well as numerous short stories. He is the general manager and part owner of the Alameda Sun newspaper in Alameda, California, as well as a resident of that fair city.

Interests are writing, fencing, anthropology, ghost hunting, painting, drawing, inventing things already invented, cryptozoology, dinosaurs, playing guitar and being an american "idle".

Like to write and play music, punk rock, for the most part. Influences are the Beatles, the Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult, David Bowie and the Buzzcocks.

Some favorite movies are Jaws, the Exorcist, Buckaroo Bonzai and Star Wars. Anything with zombies, big bugs and demons a big plus here, love the blood and gore of a horror flick. I can also appreciate a really bad B movie as well.

Television shows I enjoy are Eureka, Sesame Street, Josie &; The Pussycats, Scoobie Doo, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Night Stalker, Lost, Murder and Ghost Hunters(to name a few).

Heroes besides my mother, father,and girlfriend... Darren McGavin, William Shatner and Stan (the man) Lee. Batman, of course...why? He can kick Supermans ass and he has no super powers! Plus he has all the cool toys!

Occult violence & dangerous sex!

Leave it to Irons to stumble into a mess of cults, treasure, and dimensional monsters while he's trying to survive a desert crossing. Also leave it to Irons to grab a little booty-licous comfort in the face of danger...twice!

Although there’s something less fortunate about the rhythm of this one, it’s a decent entry to the line, and one that features some crackin’ action, though I would rank it as the weakest of the Irons stories currently available. A personal drawback for me is it doesn’t really do much to reveal more of the world Irons comes from, or lives in, either. Tentacle porn notwithstanding.
