PARTNERS IN SLIME by Michael McCarty and Mark McLaughlin: The High-Tech Book Trailer Remake!

McMonsterBook Productions, the Internet sensation that is thinking about making WAR OF THE WORLDS: THE MUSICAL!, has remade the book trailer for PARTNERS IN SLIME that they released — only a week or two ago!

“Remakes are all the rage,” said book trailer director Vidalia Unyun. “But really, why wait years and years to issue a remake? There should be no minimum time-limit! For the remake of the PARTNERS IN SLIME Book Trailer, we added exciting new footage, as well as the scintillating voice talent of Minty Belasco, international playboy, author, paleontologist, Egyptologist and weekend dance instructor. Authors Michael McCarty and Mark McLaughlin had brunch with Minty the day before production on the remake began, and Mark told me later, ‘That Minty guy needs to bathe more often.’ That, I think, is an indicator of Minty’s genius. He’s simply too busy for soap and water. Mike said of Minty, ‘He eats with his mouth open.’ I’m not sure what to make of that, but I’m sure it is also a sign of Minty’s genius.”

Vidalia Unyun added, “I am confident that history will regard this remake as the CITIZEN KANE of book trailers for collaborative horror story collections authored by two guys whose last names both begin with ‘Mc’.”

PARTNERS IN SLIME by Michael McCarty and Mark McLaughlin, a collection of horror stories calculated to terrify the flesh right off of your living bones, is available from http://www.damnationbooks.com/book.php?isbn=9781615723492

Now the Giant Sewer Clam is back, answering the entertainment question: Can a Giant Sewer Clam and a tasty mortal share an apartment, without driving each other crazy?
