Nick Ventner is a drunk with a blatant disregard for others. He’s also damned good at hunting creatures that aren’t supposed to exist. Currently at 4.57 stars on Goodreads and 4.8 stars here on Amazon! From amateur necromancers in the bayou to Sasquatch impersonators in the Pacific Northwest, Nick’s seen it all. Even if some of the details might be a little fuzzy.
"An excellent drunken romp...Macaulay takes inspiration from many of the great monster hunting books and movies throughout the times, and combines them with an Indiana Jones feel to give us a fantastic Anti-Hero" - John Ceccarelli
In Whiteout, Nick faces his greatest challenge to date. Accompanied by his trusty mountain guide, Lopsang, and his testy apprentice, James, Nick journeys into the Himalayas to settle a matter of pride and payouts, as he searches for the lost riches of Shangri-La rumored to lie within the mountain’s peak. However, the sudden arrival of Nick’s greatest adversary, Manchester, complicates matters, and pits the two in a race towards the top, and both soon find that they have not just one another to contend with, but also a mythical and elusive yeti that has been terrorizing the mountain.
"Great writing. [Ashton Macaulay] does an amazing job of mixing suspense, drama, and humor, keeping you on the edge while reading, but also laughing out loud as you turn the pages. - Kyle Bennin
Featuring death-defying obstacles, hair-raising encounters with creatures from beyond, and a heavy dose of sarcasm along the way, Whiteout is sure to satisfy anyone looking for a fast-paced adventure novel brimming with action, suspense, and imagination. Not to mention the occasional whiskey on the rocks.
"I LOVED the main character...fast paced and exciting!" - Becki Kobielush
Whiteout is the first in a planned trilogy from author Ashton Macaulay and Aberrant Literature, so be sure to stay on the lookout for more Nick Ventner adventures to come!

The galaxy is a colorful place and Crustacea is no exception. Born on a whim of a madman, the planet of psychic crabs evolved through a combination of radiation, cosmic energy and what scientists could only describe as 'the right vibes'. Now, the crustacean leadership must deal with the impending arrival of the first ambassador from the United Commission of planets, renegade lobsters, and foul creatures lurking in the deep.

Hey, hey, kiddos, and welcome to the most deliriously insane circus-carnival roadshow you've ever laid eyes on! Well, maybe not so much a roadshow as a several-hundred-page book, but what a book! It's got thrills, chills, spills (as in blood), mills (I'm sure there's a windmill to be found in here somewhere), and plenty of other words that rhyme, too! I am your undead host Uncle Aberrant coming to you straight from the underworld, and I'm honored to be your guide through these twelve twisted tales of zany cosmic horror, which is possibly not an established genre but let's just pretend it is, k? Truth is, I've always been half-risk taker, half-innovator, and half-down and dirty scoundrel, so this is totally my vibe. Just ask about one of my sordid Andy Warhol stories sometime....IF YOU DARE! (scared, yet?) So what exactly is Zany Cosmic Horror(TM)? Well, it's just like it sounds. Take one part HP Lovecraft and another part Jim Carrey (or other relevant funnyman if you're reading this in the future), then sprinkle liberally with oodles of bat-guano crazy ideas that probably aren't suitable for publishing. (uhhhhhh...don't tell my publisher, yeah? I really need this deal to go through. The Underground Mafia (and I mean WAY underground) is days away from breaking my thumbs. Which are in bad shape as it is, being undead and all.) I know, I know, you're like, "Unkie Abs, baby, what's the haps daddy-o, just give it to me straight." And to this, I say, "just jive, baby, just jive!" Which is another way of telling you not to overthink this. These are fun, scary, crazy, zany, creative, larger-than-life stories, well-written and designed to bring you an insanely good time-emphasis on insane. From sentient space potatoes to galaxy-consuming fluffballs, no idea is too out-there for this collection. So crack open the book and join the madness, everyone, with Uncle Aberrant's Compendium of Cosmic Delights!
