Strangely Funny VII Kindle Edition
"I realized this wasn’t a graduation beer party—this was a bunch of wannabe ghost hunters. I think I hurt myself grinning."- The Good Girl, David Bernard
“Wake up, Jefferson. Early to bed and early to rise, and you don’t get caught with other men’s wives.” Jefferson answered the door and held it open for Ben Franklin and Marvin. “Damn, Franklin, how can you drink that much and be so chipper the morning after?"- Pixiedelphia Freedom, Robert Allen Lupton
Welcome to Strangely Funny VII, where tropes collide. Deep Ones join LARPs, and monsters attend motivational meetings. A noise-hating gnome takes matters into his own mitts. The term "race against death" takes on a new meaning. Four fab physicists create their own Wall of Sound. And Marvin, everyone's favorite cigar-smoking pixie, is back for another timeline-saving mission.Featuring stories by Rosalind Barden, Henry L. Herz, Robert Allan Lupton, Lena Ng, Jennifer Lee Rossman, and B. David Spicer.
Strangely Funny VII is the eighth book in the series, because the editor can't count. Pick up any volume of the series, though, and you'll find a number of laughs.

Writer, gamer, pro-wrestling aficionado. Dad.
I claim to write stories, but really I just find them in The Closet, dust them off, add a few commas and send them out into the world.
Proudly Canadian, born and raised in Newfoundland, fine-tuned and educated in Toronto and currently residing in Ottawa with a beautiful wife, two wonderful children and various furry four-legged companions.
Angelique Fawns is a journalist and writer of speculative fiction. When not spinning dark tale, she interviews and promotes the publishers and writers of the genre. She lives in Canada and you can find more of her work at www.fawns.ca
Carlton Herzog publishes supernatural horror, science fiction and crime stories, as well as non-ficiton. His fiction portrays characters who are outsiders to ordinary life. Filled with strange terrors and brutal absurdities, his writing bends reality until it cracks. He is a USAF veteran with B.A. magna cum laude and J.D. from Rutgers. He served as Articles Editor of the Rutgers Law Review.
He had this to say about writing: “Writing is to the mind what exercise is to the body. I love the process from start to finish. Editorial acceptance, monetary remuneration, and public approval are nothing when compared with the irreplaceable feeling of personal accomplishment. Writing is a stroll through the insubstantial country of my mind. A land where I can see reflections of myself that are more me than anything I can find in a mirror or the eyes of others. it is an introcosm where I am truly free to see what I have done and yet may do, home to all my disappointments and discoveries, rememberings and reveries."
Alex Azar is an award winning author bred, born, and raised in New Jersey. He had aspirations beyond his humble beginnings, goals that would take him to the skyscrapers of Metropolis and the alleys of Gotham. Alex was going to be a superhero. Then one tragic day, tragedy tragically struck. He remembered he wasn't an orphan and by law would only be able to become a sidekick. Circumstances preventing him from achieving his dream, Alex's mind fractured and he now spends his nights writing about the darkest horrors that plague the recesses of his twisted mind and black heart. His days are filled being the dutiful sidekick the law requires him to be, until he can one day be the hero the world (or at least New Jersey) needs.
Alex was first published in 2010, and he's since published over a dozen short stories, including his award winning collection "Nightmare Noir." Alex is a two time winner of the Preditors & Editors Best Horror Short Story of the year. Alex lives with his wife and their two cats, Leonidas and Miles Davis.
Larry Hinkle is the least famous writer you’ve never heard of. A copywriter living with his wife and two doggos in Rockville, Maryland, when he's not writing stories that scare people into peeing their pants, he writes ads that scare people into buying adult diapers so they’re not caught peeing their pants.
"The Eris Ridge Trail," his new cosmic horror road trip novella (with dogs!) was released in March 2025, while his debut collection, “The Space Between,” came out in February 2024.
His work has also appeared in "October Screams: A Halloween Anthology," "The Rack: Stories Inspired by Vintage Horror Paperbacks," and The NoSleep Podcast, among others.
He's an active member of the HWA (his short stories made the preliminary Stoker ballot in 2020 and 2022); a graduate of Fright Club and Crystal Lake’s Author’s Journey program; an HWA mentee; and a survivor of the Borderlands Writers Bootcamp.
B. David Spicer lives in Ohio, where he earned a BA in English from Ohio University. He has always been an avid reader and one day woke up and started writing fiction of his own. He writes crime fiction, science fiction and horror fiction and occasionally writes scripts for independent comic book publishers. His short fiction has appeared in several anthologies and journals throughout the country and overseas. In his meager spare time he enjoys reading, hiking and playing boardgames. He shares a house with an imperious cat and more books than any one person should own.
Zach Friday lives in North Texas where he works as a freelance writer. In his spare time, he likes writing fiction and woodworking. Although he tries to write a little bit of everything, he usually ends up writing horror. The easiest way to see what he's been up to is to visit @ZachAFriday on Twitter.
Fort Worth writer Jonathan Shipley has never bought into "newer is better." Old houses, old furniture, and old portraits are his way of life, and like many collectors, he cohabits with more antiques than strictly fit into his house. He has had fantasy, science fiction, and horror stories published in dozens of magazines and anthologies, including SWORD & SORCERESS, volumes 25 through 31, and AFTER DEATH that won the 2014 Bram Stoker Award. However, he is actually a novel writer at heart and spends most of his writing time on a vast story arc that ranges from Nazi occultism to vampires to futuristic space opera.
Sarah E. Glenn loves mystery and horror stories, often with a sidecar of humor. Several have appeared in mystery and paranormal anthologies, including G.W. Thomas’ Ghostbreakers series, Futures Mysterious Anthology Magazine, and Fish Tales: The Guppy Anthology.
She developed strong ideals from her parents, a salesman turned missionary and a social worker. Despite their tutelage and a short stint as a classical languages grad student, she still loves Kolchak, superheroes, geek fandoms, and pop culture.
Her great-great aunt served as a nurse in WWI, and was injured by poison gas during the fighting. After being mustered out, she traveled widely. A hundred years later, 'Aunt Dess' would inspire Sarah and co-author Gwen Mayo to create the Three Snowbirds series.
R.C. Mulhare has the distinction of reading a translation of the famous cursed play "The King in Yellow" without going mad,once successfully defended her day-job workplace from zombies, through some judicious use of clearance-rack garden tools, and fought off a group of Yog-Sothoth cultists in the hallway of a hotel in Providence, Rhode Island...
In actuality, R.C. Mulhare was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and grew up in one of the surrounding towns, in a hundred year old house up the street from a centuries-old cemetery. Her interest in the dark and mysterious started when she was quite young, when her mother read the faery tales of the Brothers Grimm and quoted the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe to her, while her Irish storyteller father infused her with a fondness for strange characters and quirky situations. When she isn't writing, she moonlights in grocery retail, and given the cross-section of people you see in grocery stores, this gives her a lot of ideas for characters in her stories. A two-time Amazon best-selling author, contributor to the Hugo Award Winning Archive of Our Own, and member of the New England Horror Writers, her work previously appeared with Atlantean Publishing, Macabre Maine, and FunDead Publications, Deadman's Tome, and Weirdbook Magazine, with four more stories already slated for release in 2019. She shares her home with her family, two small parrots, about fifteen hundred books and an unknown number of eldritch things that rattle in the walls when she's writing late in the night....
