Announcing My Next Book

Open now to learn what it will be!!!

Dear readers,

Back in March of this year I ran a poll to see what you wanted my next book to be. An overwhelming majority of you, 91.3% to be exact, voted for another Action Girls book, like Jungle Jitters.

Well, me being me, I ignored the results of the poll and edited the Gruesome Futures anthology instead. Now that that book is out of the way, I’m back on track writing the Action Girls book as I was meant to, and I can tell you it’s going to be my wildest, craziest, most experimental work of literature yet!

Here’s a brief synopsis:

Most people don’t realize that before he was America’s premier writer of subversive fiction, J. Manfred Weichsel had his roots in Hollywood, where he wrote screenplays for the Action Girls, a trio of starlets who produced and acted in their own indie movies throughout the 2010’s.

In this behind-the-scenes memoire, J. Manfred Weichsel dishes out the most salacious details of the making of their most notorious film, Into the Bush. After the overwhelmingly successful premier of Jungle Jitters, Jennifer, the leader of the Action Girls, is eager to make another movie, and she asks her regular scribe, J. Manfred Weichsel, to write it.

His pitch? A three-hundred-mile-tall giantess named Patty McGloop resides in the Mojave Desert, with a public hair region spanning seven miles from below her navel to between her thighs. Just as the Gargantua ray made Patty McGloop very tall, it also enlarged the microscopic animals that live on her skin and hair. Wouldn’t it be fun to go exploring inside her pubic hair jungle in order to document all the interesting flora and fauna?

The Action girls excitedly make all the preparations needed to shoot such a bizarre motion picture, and take a helicopter to Patty McGloop’s navel, the gateway to her colossal realm. But the girls are quickly captured by the savage creatures inhabiting McGloop’s lush bush. Now, it is up to J. Manfred Weichsel, humble screenwriter, to go on a daring mission into the bush to rescue them.

Okay, so that’s Into the Bush in a nutshell. Now, onto some housekeeping:

Into the Bush is a semi-sequel to my most controversial novel, Jungle Jitters, meaning that Jungle Jitters exists as a movie within the world of Into the Bush. So, while you don’t have to have read the previous book to understand the upcoming one, you’ll get a few jokes you might otherwise have missed and have a richer experience if you do. Plus, Jungle Jitters is completely insane. So, I encourage everyone who hasn’t to pick up Jungle Jitters today.

If you look at the graphic at the top of this article, the letters and design are by Drew Stepek, owner of the eBook store Godless. If you look below at the redesigned cover of Jungle Jitters, Drew did those letters too.

You can find all of my books on Godless, along with hundreds, perhaps thousands of books that are unavailable anywhere else. Drew has been incredible supportive of me, and I encourage all of you to check out Godless. You might find your next favorite book!

The portrait of the Action Girls in the graphic above is AI fan art by my good friend Seth Metoyer, owner of More Horror. Please check his stuff out as well.

I’ll be looking for a 100% human artist soon to do the cover illustration for Into the Bush. I want the cover to be stylistically similar to Jungle Jitters, so if you know anybody available who can draw hot women in an adventure setting in an American comics style with a traditional pulp influence, please get in touch and let me know.

I’ve been doing a bunch of podcasts lately where you can get to know me better. I encourage everybody to give them a watch or listen. My most recent was the Iron Man podcast on Rumble. I also made a playlist of my best YouTube appearances. Please check them out.

Okay, that’s about it. I hope to release Into the Bush early 2024. I look forward to sharing it with you. In the meantime, check out Jungle Jitters, and if you’ve already read it, let all your friends know by posting about it on social media or writing a review. If you haven’t read it yet, click the cover to get Jungle Jitters at your favorite store:

Sincerely,

J. Manfred Weichsel
