Pulp Fiction Finds New Home As Several Exciting Titles Join Existing Releases
Moonstone Books, publisher of fine comics and graphic novels for the past 12 years, has jumped into an even more intimate form of storytelling: the printed word- prose that is.
With the success of Kolchak: The Night Stalker Chronicles, The Kolchak Casebook, The Spider Chronicles and the recently sold out The Phantom Chronicles, Moonstone Books decided to formally create a line of proseanthologies and novels based on their extensive library of original and licensed characters.
The most recent offering is Tales of Zorro, an anthology of original short prose, which marks the very first time there will be a collection of new Zorro short stories in the character’s rich and wonderful history.
Tales of Zorro will include the work of New York Times best selling author Isabel Allende, Max Allan Collins, Greg Cox, A.C. Crispin, Peter David, Loren D. Estleman, Ed Gorman Nancy Holder, Guy Williams, Jr., Jan Adkins, Robin Wayne Bailey, Mike Bullock, Robert Greenberger Tim Lasiuta, Jeff Mariotte, Elizabeth Massie, Robert Morrish, Kathleen O’Malley, Andy Mangels, Michael A. Martin, and Jean Schanberger.
The anthology will feature stunning cover artwork by Spectrum award-winner Douglas Klauba and original interior illustrations by legendary Disney animator and sculptor Ruben Procopio!
In light of the rabid success enjoyed by The Phantom Chronicles hardcover, featuring original tales of The Ghost Who Walks, which sold out months before its release date, Moonstone is offering a limited hardcover of Tales of Zorro for presale: http://www.moonstonebooks.com
Moonstone’s prose library already includes the following titles, currently available at finer retailers worldwide:
The Kolchak Chronicles, which includes new creepy tales of television’s first paranormal investigator, penned by such authors as Max Allan Collins, Peter David, Stuart M. Kaminsky, Elaine Bergstrom, PN Elrod, and more!

The Phantom Chronicles (available in 2 weeks), the first ever collection of short fiction featuring the Ghost Who Walks, with adrenalin generating adventures written by: Mike Bullock, Craig Shaw Gardner, David Michelinie, Trina Robbins, Ed Rhoades and more.
The anthologies are joined by Moonstone’s first novel, Kolchak: A Black and Evil Truth, one part thriller, one part horror and all nail-biter written by CJ Henderson!
