A First Look At Unannounced Cemetery Dance Projects

Hi Folks!

As you know, with a few exceptions, we're no longer announcing books until we have the manuscript in hand from the author or editor—and usually not until we have the book ready for the printer. This allows our customers to order a book and find it in their mailbox within a couple of months, which has proven to be popular with most of our collectors.

That said, we often get pressure from the authors or their agents (and even fans of these authors!) to announce books earlier than we would like so sometimes an early announcement cannot be helped. So, in an effort to please both our customers and our authors, we're debuting a brand new feature on this page that will discuss upcoming unannounced books. These books will not be officially available for sale and details may change before the official announcement, but this way we can let you know a little bit about the dozens of projects we've been secretly working on for the last year while they're making their way through production.

Watch our Breaking News page and our FREE Cemetery Dance Insider newsletter for the official announcement of these books, along with the complete and finalized publication details!

"Rain Graves writes really nasty poetry. She is a mistress of creating images that stick, the kind that you cannot get out of your mind—not even using steel wool and a small, extremely sharp knife."
— Neil Gaiman

Barfodder: Poetry Written in Dark Bars & Questionable Cafes
by Rain Graves

Worlds created; nightmares given. The universe is a tiny grain of sand, and by turns, it opens up into a revolving world of horrific little poems in BARFODDER by Rain Graves.

Each poem tells a distinct story—from serial killers, to love and loss, to the raising of Clthulhu in a haiku.

Each poem in this collection was inspired by and written in a dark bar or questionable café throughout her travels...called forth by ominous candles, succulent liquors, and velvet curtains to delight the reader with a sensory of dark, demonic, luxurious imagery.

It slides off the tongue like river slime...or a very good port (depending on if you swallow).

About the Author:
Rain Graves is a Bram Stoker Award winning poet and writer (2002), currently living in San Francisco with one large black cat, and one small white cat. She has been published in the horror fiction and poetry genre since 1997, in various magazines, books, and webzines.
