Stephen Dedman Books Overview

The Art of Arrow Cutting

If he’d known all the trouble following her, itinerant photographer Michelangelo ‘Mage’ Magistrale would have thought twice about helping the beautiful, distressed woman at the bus station. In return for a ticket she gives Mage what she says is the key to her apartment, but he quickly discovers that it’s much more: it’s a key to any door, to any place, to incredible power and there are people who will stop at nothing to possess it. Suddenly Mage is on the run from Calgary to Los Angeles, under constant attack from ninja, Yakuza thugs, and terrible creatures ripped from Japanese mythology. His only hope is to discover the secret of the key and master its power to learn The Art of Arrow Cutting before he comes to the inevitable confrontation with the dark forces pursuing him.

Shadows Bite

Hungry L.A. WomenSomething is amiss in Los Angeles. A body vanishes from the morgue. The errant son of L.A.’s most notorious necromancer has unleashed demons that not even his father can control.

And a yakuza boss has put a contract out on stuntman Charlie Takumo’s friend Michelangelo ‘Mage’ Magistrale, seeking vengeance and a magical ‘key’ that unlocks enormous power. The two friends’ plight deepens when they’re thrust into the middle of a series of mysterious nocturnal deaths that suddenly plague the City of Angels. Caught between professional assassins and ancient terrors that are undead and stalking the L.A. nightlife, they’ll need all of Takumo’s fighting skills and Mage’s magic if they want to survive to see the dawn, because…

Never Seen by Waking Eyes

Two dozen dark tales from one of Australia’s finest genre writers. Drawing on inspiration from such diverse sources as Japanese mythology, European folklore, modern urban legends, and ancient native Australian and American traditions, as well as the literature of Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Bram Stoker, Lewis Carroll, and Edgar Allan Poe the author tells stories of humanity’s deepest desires and most dreadful nightmares. Dedman journeys into the past, present, and future…
to the jungles of Malaysia, outback ghost towns, and modern metropolises…
to places both too familiar and unfamiliar to give comfort. An accomplished storyteller, Dedman re imagines supernatural entities like vampires, succubi, and ghosts and combines them with modern terrors such as ecological and scientific horrors and the eternal evils of the political and the rperverse. His stories are disturbing, erotic, or amusing or any combination of the three. With one original story and several never published in the United States or the United Kingdom, Never Seen by Waking Eyes will serve as an apt introduction for many to the darker short works of Stephen Dedman.
