Michael Viktor Butler

LA VITA NUOVA PRESS IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE PUBLICATION OF -

Michael Viktor Butler's most recent novel, A TREASURY OF AMERICAN HEART-ACHES, inspired by the author's formative years in Binghamton, New York and the circle of people who surrounded Rod Serling. Unfolding in the manner of a vintage, epic Hollywood horror film, this sweeping novel is both a send-up for TWILIGHT ZONE fans, as well as a poignant satire.

Taken from notes left by the author's aunt, Helen Foley, who set Serling on his path to immortality, it is rich in satire and complex plot machinations, coming on the heels of his new illustrated saga THE KAHDAVVA (Part One of The Legends of Legends Trilogy).

Virtually all of MVB's forthcoming novels, now being exclusively published under the LVNPress banner,have been 'exhumed' (like so many of his characters)

from a treasury of his own dating back to the early 1960's. Making his home both in Manhattan and the Hudson Valley Region of New York, Butler remains a shadowy Eccentric devoted to his cat, the Countess, and his dog Velma, who was named after Lord Cardovan's personal clairvoyant. Except for Pilates, an occasional game of mah-jongg and feeding squirils, he is a tireless scribe of days gone by....and days to come.
