Ultragoth

When down-on-his-luck musician Darby Louvin is accidentally caught up in the slipstream of goth-loving, parallel-universe-shifting outlaw Harold Dalener, he's transported to an empty Los Angeles where a 1918 superflu has wiped out most of humanity: the home of the "Ultragoths." As an unknown entity begins to pick off the Ultragoths one by one, Harold and Darby must chase the killer across the dead continent to New Orleans, where the real gothic showdown begins. Fans of alternate history, zombies, giant robots and extra-dimensional baddies are in for a bumpy, exciting ride with Marc Levinthal's Ultragoth!

In this universe, Marc Levinthal is a writer and musician who lives in Pasadena, California. In others, he is an astronomer, a symphony orchestra conductor, a supermarket manager, an actor, a homeless guy, and a record producer. But this is the one you got!



Marc was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and moved to the Los Angeles area in the early 1980s to make it in the "music business." He ended up doing some cool stuff along the way, such as co-writing the score to the cult movie "Valley Girl" and the hit single "Three Little Pigs" for the comedy band Green Jello.



A life-long SF, horror and fantasy fan, Marc started to write his own fiction in the early 90s.



Along with Ultragoth, Marc's novels include Other Music and The Emerald Burrito of Oz (with John Skipp). His short stories have appeared in Aboriginal Science Fiction, The Magazine of Bizarro Fiction, and several anthologies, including Mondo Zombie and Amazing Stories of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
