HERO Games Press Release - Blackwyrm Update: Ghosts, Ghouls, and Golems in Editing
From the HERO Games Website
Not content to rest after completing Larger Than Life, Michael Surbrook
has just finished up Ghosts, Ghouls, and Golems. This HERO System
sourcebook for the supernatural covers all the classic creatures:
ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and zombies; but also mentions ghuls,
golems, the wendigo, Jack the Ripper, and a few modern monsters, such as
the internet meme Slender Man. Each chapter covers a specific creature
in detail, looking at its origins, history accounts, and world-wide
representation. This is followed up by several character sheets, often
present a ’traditional’ and ‘cinematic’ version of the creature, as well
as a more detailed unique representation (the section on vampires, for
example, presents Count Dracula in all his glory!).

Hero Games Press Release - Blackwyrm Update: Fistful of Fu Being Written
From the Hero Games Website
As the name suggests, this upcoming book by Michael Surbrook will be a
collection of martial artists. They will be divided by power level (Real
World, Cinematic, and so on), and will represent a wide range of
cultures and fighting styles. Although most meant for Ninja Hero
campaigns, the characters in FOF can also be used in other genres as
well, such as Fantasy Hero, Pulp Hero, Dark Champions, Champions, and
Galactic Champions. And if that’s not enough, the book will also contain
write ups of various fictional fighting styles.
