Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers by Joe R. Lansdale, Joshua Jabcuga, Tadd Galusha
Return to the world of the cult-classic film with this prequel from the mind of its original creator!

President Nixon has discovered an alien threat, and he knows there's only one man he can reach out to for help: Elvis Presley. But will Elvis be enough to defeat a horde of Cosmic Blood-Suckers?

The 2002 Bubba Ho-Tep comedy-horror film based on the novella by Joe R. Lansdale is a fan-favorite that balances themes of aging with the all-out whackiness of a soul-sucking mummy. This all-new story takes readers back to a world when Elvis truly was The King!

Joe R. Lansdale and Joshua Jabcuga: Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers (USA 2017)

From the Publisher:
Before Bubba Ho-Tep, there was Bubba and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers.
Subterranean Press is thrilled to announce the novel-length prequel to the classic story, "Bubba Ho-Tep."

Part of a secret government organization designed to protect civilians, Elvis Presley and a handful of hardcore warriors set out to save the world from an invasion of hive-minded, shape-shifting vampire-like creatures from a dark dimension who have taken up residence in a New Orleans junkyard.

Besides Elvis, among these righteous warriors is a hammer-wielding descendent of John Henry of railroad fame, a Blind Man who sees more than those with sight, Jack, a strategic wizard, and Elvis's right hand man and journal writer, Johnny, all thrown in with Raven (real name Jenny) a female recruit who is also a budding pop star, and like Elvis, high on the charisma chart.

Their leader is none other than Colonel Parker, Elvis's cutthroat manager, and a warrior himself, directly in contact with President Nixon, or possibly one of his doubles.

It's an unnerving peek into a secret world, and a possible delusion. It's what happened before Elvis, aka Sebastian Haff, found himself in an East Texas rest home, mounted on a walker, fighting an Egyptian mummy and worrying about a growth on his pecker.

Strange monsters, wild fights, sex with a beautiful ghost, a drug-induced trip into another dimension, and all manner of mayhem ensue, along with a Mississippi riverboat ride on a giant paddle wheel, and of course, there will be 3D glasses, fried peanut butter and 'nanna sandwiches, and a few hard working zombies.

Bring the kids, but plug their ears and blindfold them. This is one wild and nasty ride to the dark side, but with laughter.
