About Rich Bottles Jr.

After an unillustrious print journalism career in southwestern Pennsylvania, Rich Bottles Jr. moved to West Virginia at the age of 32 to pursue a career in technical writing. He spends his free time visiting and hiking at the many state parks in the Mountain State, which is also where he develops the concepts for his novels.

Rich recently completed a trilogy of WV-themed "humorrorotica," which includes the novels “Lumberjacked,” “Hellhole West Virginia” and “The Manacled.”

In addition to editing and contributing to the Burning Bulb Publishing anthologies “Westward Hoes” and “The Big Book of Bizarro,” he has also written stories for the StrangeHouse Books anthologies “Strange Sex” and “Zombie! Zombie! Brain Bang!”

He is currently working on a horror novel set in West Virginia’s Amish Country.

His only regret in life is that his out-of-state secondary school education prohibited him from earning West Virginia's prestigious Golden Horseshoe Award.

Rise of the Dead: An Earth-Shattering Anthology of Zombie Terror Dec 2, 2014

by Andy Rausch, R.D. Riley, Rich Bottles Jr., Gary Vincent

( 5 )

$2.99

From John A. Russo, co-author of Night of the Living Dead™:

"By now almost everyone knows that the concept of the modern flesh-eating zombie originated in the sixties with Night of the Living Dead™. That's why I think that this anthology of short stories paying homage to that fact is a wonderful idea. When I was asked to write such a story, I was told that each and every story in the book would have to take place in or around the time, in 1968, when the horror classic that I co-authored took place…

Perhaps, for you, dear reader, some of the stories you will read in these pages will take their place as some of your very own favorites. Please step back with me into the 1960's – a time of peaceniks, rednecks and unspeakable zombie horror!!"

Lumberjacked Sep 3, 2010

by Rich Bottles Jr.

( 9 )

$2.99

If you are easily offended or do not possess a truly depraved sense of humor, this story may not be the light summer reading fare you desire. As for the four feisty female freshmen stranded on top of West Virginia's third highest mountain, they have no choice but to experience the sick, twisted debauchery and perverted mayhem described deep inside the tight unbroken bindings of this horrific missive. Lumberjacked takes the reader to a nightmarish world where character development and aesthetic integrity are prematurely cut short by the swinging axes of maniacal lumberjacks, who are hell bent on death and destruction in the remote forests of Appalachia. And at the climax, when paranoia crosses over to the paranormal, Lumberjacked makes Deliverance look like a family raft trip down the Lower Gauley.

John Doe’s Prayer:

A dog brought me to this sanctuary. He saved my life… He saved me from taking my life!

God, why have you allowed me to be injured so severely that I no longer remember my name or who I used to be?

The pastor asked me if I was Saved… He wanted to know if I had invited Jesus Christ into my heart, so I could be Born Again… But I didn’t know how to answer him.

The pastor wanted so desperately to believe that I could feel Jesus Christ in my heart, even if I couldn’t remember anything from my past... God, I can’t even remember praying to you!

But I’m praying to you now! I’m praying you make your presence known to me!

If you’re lurking in the depths of my heart, reveal yourself to me now! Reveal yourself to me so that I can march up to that pastor and say with confidence, “I am Born Again… and Jesus Christ has led me to salvation and has forgiven all my sins!”

Tell me now God… Tell me you are with me… Tell me that you guide me… Tell me that YOU LOVE ME!

The Man With Too Many Names by Kelly R. Martin - The more sinners that a holy man eliminates, the more heathens he seems to attract.

Just Enough Rope by Nelson W. Pyles - A bounty hunter must decide between claiming his bounty or hanging up his holster on the bed post of a bountiful beauty.

The Whore in the Mirror by Kimberly Bennett- A man tracks down his missing brother, straight into the deceitful arms of a narcissistic ne'er-do-well.
