During Lock & Load weekend, we unveiled a new digital audio presentation of our Iron Kingdoms novels from Skull Island eXpeditions, beginning with a free excerpt from the Strangelight Workshop anthology Wicked Ways.

With a cinematic score, a full cast of voice actors, and digital sound effects, “Murder in the Majestic Playhouse” is an entirely new approach to presenting audio books in our setting. GraphicAudio, the folks behind this “Movie in Your Mind,” has created what is essentially a radio play of our first short story highlighting the Strangelight Workshop. The paperback of Wicked Ways sold out quickly, so it’s a real thrill to bring it to readers—and listeners—again…but this time with a twist.

It’s a helluva production, what with ghosts and guns and things that go bump in the night. Best of all, the rest of the book only gets better. And both Privateer Press and GraphicAudio want you to think the same thing, so we’re going to give you the first story for free. Here’s what you need to do to get the free download (and you gotta do it by August 31):

• Create a free account at graphicaudio.net
• Add “Murder in the Majestic Playhouse” to your cart
• Apply the coupon code PRIVATEER in the cart and complete the purchase
• Install the GraphicAudio access app for your Android or Apple device

And that’s it! You’re ready to listen to our first cinematic audio tale!

We’d love to hear what you think, so drop us a line at Customer Service and give us some feedback. Just on the horizon are our next releases, Murder in Corvis and Black Dogs, both by Richard Lee Byers.

Enjoy “Murder in the Majestic Playhouse”!
