About the Book:
Where do you get your ideas?

It's probably the most common question an author gets asked during his or her career.

This anthology isn't meant to answer that question, but it is designed to give readers a glimpse into how the imagination works.

These talented authors were shown a haunting piece of artwork by acclaimed artist Alan M. Clark and then asked: &qu

"Mick Garris writes like a combination of Robert Bloch and James Ellroy, hardboiled noir with a ghastly little prick of the devil's own pitchfork."
— Stephen King

Artwork by William Stout

About the Book:
How much would you pay to experience something truly disturbing?
 
Tyler Sparrow isn't too happy about recent changes in the movie and television industry.  The continuing emphasis on unscripted reality entertainment is putting writers like himself out of work.  As his career enters its "Third Act" (industry jargon for the final se

Homestead (Cemetery Dance Signature Series #11)

featuring artwork by Alex McVey

About the Book:
Home is where the pain is….

Kathy Erinson just wanted a hobby, something to help her relax and keep her from getting too bored.

What she didn't expect was that the illustrations she started working on would try to tell her secrets best ignored.

What she didn't expect was the sudden wash of memories about people and things she'd done her very best to forget about: Her first kiss,

Floating Dragon: The 30th Anniversary Special Limited Edition
by Peter Straub

About the Book:
The terrors afflicting the sleepy town of Hampstead, Connecticut, were beyond imagination.

Sparrows dropping dead from the trees like rotten fruit, disfiguring diseases spreading like wildfire, inexplicable murders and child drownings shattering the lives of the citizens—never can such a list of horrors have afflicted one town.

But the evil madness had a long history.

A catastrophe had struck Hampstead every thirty years since its foundation 300 years before — yet only Graham Williams, a writer and descendant of one of the original founders, had looked into the 'black summers' and their mysterious origins.

When he discovers that descendants of the three other original settler

Kinsmen: A "Nameless Detective" Novella
by Bill Pronzini

About the Book:
Allison Shay was traveling home from the University of Oregon with her new boyfriend, Rob Compton, when their car broke down near the tiny rural town of Creekside, California. Soon after, Allison and Rob went missing without a trace.

Whatever happened, it felt like something bad to the Nameless Detective. Five days without a whisper of contact with the outside world. Long past the inconsiderate-kids stage; long past the silly and the harmless.

Kinsmen takes Bill Pronzini's classic private investigator to California's northeast backwoods, where an isolated community is determined to keep a deep, dark secret: why Allison Shay and Rob Compton really vanished.

The real question facing the Nameless Det

Femme: An Original "Nameless Detective" Novella
by Bill Pronzini

About the Book:
Femme fatale. French for "deadly woman."

You hear the term a lot these days, usually in connection with noir fiction and film noir. But they're not just products of literature or film, the folklore of nearly every culture. They exist in modern society, too. The genuine femme fatales you hear about now and then are every bit as evil as the fictional variety. Yet what sets them apart is that they're the failures, the ones who for one reason or another got caught. For every one of those, there must be several times as many who get away with their destructive crimes...

In the thirty years the Nameless Detective has been a private investigator, he has never once had the misfortune to cross paths with this type of seductress... but in Femme

Undead
by John Russo

About the Book:
George A. Romero's classic 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead, has been revered among horror buffs and moviegoers since its release. It introduced a new era of gutmunching cinematic mayhem and inspired legions of directors and writers, among them Quentin Tarantino, George Lucas, Stephen King, and Steven Spielberg.

John A. Russo, who co-wrote the screenplay for Night of the Living Dead, also turned the flesh-eating frenzy into two blood-drenched novels which until recently were Out of Print for thirty years and lost to an entire generation of readers. This book includes the rare original version of Return of the Living Dead, as opposed to the versio

"He is, quite simply, one of the best in the business, on par with Clive Barker, James Ellroy, and Thomas Harris."
— Stephen King

I'm Not Sam
by Jack Ketchum & Lucky McKee

About the Book:
Now I'm way beyond confusion.

Now I'm scared.

I've slid down the rabbit-hole and what's down there is dark and serious. This is not play-acting or some waking bad dream she's having. She's changed, somehow overnight. I don't know how I know this but I sense it as surely as I sense my own skin. This is not Sam, my Sam, wholly sane and firmly balanced. Capable of tying off an artery as neatly as you'd thread a belt through the loops of your jeans.

And now I'm shivering too.

In some fundamental way she's changed...

"You'd expect nothing less from the provocateur

Stephen King calls him "A master of the macabre!"

The Circle
by Bentley Little

About the Book:
“The shrine. How does it operate? Do you just pray to it or do you have to bring it something or what?”

In this unsettling novella by Bentley Little, many strange occurrences unsettle the inhabitants of William Tell Circle:

For Helen, a knock on the door brings an unexpected visitor along with lavish gifts, and it seems all her wishes have been granted…but at what cost?

For young Frank and his friends, a fabled neighborhood shrine may answer their prayers for a girlfriend, just as their older brothers hope the same source will grant them money. But the older boys' improvised ritual turns into something horrible…

For Gil Marotta, a rescue mission to the shrine leads him into a chilling confrontation with the local witchR
