A few years back, my friend, and fellow writer, Jamie Ramos conceived of a series of short novelettes set in the fictional city of Golgotha. It was an interesting premise and when he invited me to participate, I was happy to sign on for a story. Unfortunately, health problems sidelined things and Jaime sadly passed away in 2025.
In 2026, Airship 27 Productions, in cooperation with Jaime’s
wife, the Golgotha stories, both published and as yet unpublished, were
collected into a single volume. Proceeds from book sales will go to Jaime’s
family. The official press release is below.
Jaime Ramos’ Streets of Golgotha is available now at the following retailers:
Amazon CA (paperback)
Available at Amazon worldwide.
Ebook editions coming soon.
Press Release:
The word Golgotha means "the city of skulls," and
"the place of Christ's crucifixion.” Late editor Jaime Ramos thought that
a city based on this meaning, which was founded by French monks in the 1800s,
would be an interesting place to set noir and detective stories. Ramos wanted
the city to be hard-core, filled with dirty cops, the Mafia, corrupt religious
figures, and a TV psychic named John Normandy. He wanted the city to be laid
out with French catacombs underneath and urban Gothic design on the surface.
Designing landmarks for the city, Ramos had a friend create a map, placing the
city in upper Wisconsin, where it always seemed to be raining or snowing or
both. Crime would be mixed with mysticism and darkness. Inviting several author
friends to contribute, Ramos created an omnibus of collected stories about the
city of Golgotha. Assembled here for your enjoyment is the fruit of his
editorial desires and the loving labors of Jaime Ramos' friends: Teel James
Glenn, Nancy Hansen, Lee Houston Jr. Wayne Carey and Bobby Nash. Illustrations
by Rob Davis and cover by Adam Shaw. Take a walk down the shadowy, dangerous,
and mysterious STREETS OF GOLGOTHA.
PULP FICTION FOR A NEW GENERATION!
