About the Book:
The Book of Baby NamesSandra picked up the dull, saddle-stitched book. The child on the cover laughed, a mischievous gleam in her eyes. Water stains on the front cover blurred the outline of some of the child’s teeth, making a few look sharp, like an animal’s. But the girl laughed, so everything was okay. Sandra didn’t realize The Book of Baby Names was a work of fiction. And that the stories inside were horrifying….

This mini-collection from Bram Stoker Award-winner Norman Prentiss contains six tales about sinister or endangered children. Features two never-before-published stories, “The Baby Truck” and “The Well-Adjusted Child,” along with a new Foreword/Afterword that places all the tales in an additional disturbing context.

Last Train from Perdition by Robert McCammon!

Last Train from Perdition
by Robert McCammon
Signed, Slipcased, and Numbered Limited Edition With A Very Low Print Run!

Beautiful Trade Hardcover Edition Also Available!

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to report we’ll be getting a few copies of Last Train from Perdition by Robert McCammon from Subterranean Press, but we don’t expect our copies to last long, especially considering the TINY print run for the signed and numbered and slipcased Limited Edition!

Last Train from Perdition (Book 2 in the I Travel by Night series!)
by Robert McCammon

Last TrainIn I Travel by Night, master of horror Robert McCammon introduced the tortured and instantly unforgettable vampire adventurer Trevor Lawson—All Matters Handled—as he searched for his maker, LaRouge, in hope of becoming human once more. It wove a tale about the terrors of the Dark Society, featuring the gothic sensibilities of old New Orleans, and the unforgiving violence of the untamed frontier of 1886. Now McCammon returns to Lawson’s gripping journey and sends him West, in the chilling sequel novella Last Train from Perdition.

Ever on the hunt for LaRouge, Lawson still travels by night, but no longer alone. Crack-shot, whip-smart Ann has become his companion, on her own search for her vampire-taken father and sister. Lawson has been summoned from New Orleans and the Hotel Sanctuaire to Omaha by a wealthy man who needs his son retrieved from a band of outlaws. Lawson and Ann agree to take the case and travel to the town of Perdition where they find their prey–but things get complicated fast when a saloon shootout leaves an innocent girl badly injured.

On a night train from Perdition to Helena to find medical help, it soon becomes clear that Lawson and Ann’s enemies may also be looking to prey upon them. As they struggle against those forces of darkness with a trainload of their most unlikely allies yet, Lawson also wages battle with the darkness LaRouge left within him. This latest installment in Trevor Lawson’s battle for redemption finds bestselling McCammon at his thrilling best.

Dominoes in Time by Matthew Warner New Reviews and A Video Clip!

Dominoes in Time
by Matthew Warner

New Reviews and A Video Clip!

Hi Folks!

Matthew Warner’s new story collection Dominoes in Time is receiving positive attention from reviewers, and he’s also shared a video clip of a recent reading/performance of a story from the book, “And That’s When the Bathroom Exploded,” which you can watch on YouTube right now.

Check out what reviewers are saying and then purchase a copy of the eBook at one of our retailer partners through the links below:

Dominoes in Time“Matthew Warner’s collection, Dominoes in Time, not only shows tremendous range and skill, it’s like the best of Stephen King: ordinary characters (albeit unique in their own way) demand our sympathy and interest while, at the same time, they find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. Warner’s imagination is vast, and these stories leap off the page, staying with the reader in mind and heart. A highly recommended group of tales by a virtuoso writer.”
— Lisa Mannetti, three-time nominee and winner of the Bram Stoker Award, author of Deathwatch and The Box Jumper

“Although he’s an accomplished novelist and has written screenplays he really shines as a short story writer… this is very much worth your time and money.”
— Jim Morazzini, Beneath the Underground

“18 pivotal experiences light up the landscape for a delightfully eclectic cast of characters in Warner’s new collection of short stories. … With no attempts to cater to the politically correct or even polite, the story’s gritty language is part of this author’s hallmark style.”
— Lisa Rochford, News Leader

Dominoes in Time is a fantastic collection, and proves that the author should be front and center in dark fiction.”
— Sheri White, The Horror Review

Dominoes in Time showcases Warner’s ability to pen authentic paranoia from many different angles and his blending of the macabre with some finely placed humor makes this collection sing. At times reminiscent of classic Twilight Zone episodes, Warner’s stories are engaging and more often than not will take you places you didn’t see coming.”
— Nick Cato, The Horror Fiction Review

“Each story in Dominoes in Time is a dark gem — cold, sharp, and filled with sinister wonder.”
— Tim Waggoner, author of The Way of All Flesh

Rambo: First Blood II by David Morrell: SIGNED LIMITED EDITION!

Rambo: First Blood II
by David Morrell

Signed Limited Edition With A Very Low Print Run!

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to report we’ll be getting a few copies of the special signed Limited Edition hardcover of Rambo: First Blood Part II by David Morrell from Gauntlet Press and Borderlands Press, but given the impact the character of Rambo has had on literature and film, we don’t expect our copies to last long!

Rambo: First Blood II
by David Morrell

First Blood 2Publisher: Gauntlet Press in collaboration with Borderlands Press

About the Book:
Three years after David Morrell’s ground-breaking novel First Blood became an equally ground-breaking film, 1985’s Rambo (First Blood Part II) established Rambo as an international thriller icon, breaking box-office records and adding Rambo’s name to the Oxford English dictionary.

Morrell’s novelization for Rambo (First Blood Part II) made a difference also. When the film’s producers asked him to write a book based on the script, he initially declined. After all, he hadn’t been involved in the film’s development, and at the time, most novelizations needed to adhere so strictly to the script that they were almost a form of automatic writing.

But then the producers gave Morrell permission to write whatever he wanted, provided that the novelization had a recognizable relationship to the film. Freed to be inventive and to make Rambo closer to the character as Morrell had portrayed him in First Blood, Morrell prepared a novelization that broke all the rules: one-third Morrell, one-third shooting script, and one-third material from James Cameron’s unused script for the film. (Yes, that James Cameron, before Aliens and Terminator 2.)

Continuing to break the rules, Morrell’s novelization was one of the first books of its kind to appear on the New York Times bestseller list. But even more unusual, Morrell had killed Rambo at the end of First Blood. The first version of the film killed him as well and was altered only after a near riot at a test screening, so how was Morrell going to resurrect his character for the novelization?

Rambo (First Blood Part II) will soon be available in a signed collector’s edition from Gauntlet Press (in collaboration with Borderlands Press). As with the collector’s edition of First Blood, this 500-copy numbered edition comes with a wealth of extras that include:

* First time in hardback
* Morrell’s revision of the 1985 text
* Morrell’s lengthy introduction that explains the behind-the-scenes intrigue of the movie and the novelization
* Morrell’s lengthy essay, “Rambo and Me: the Story behind the Story,” that analyzes Rambo’s origins in the social unrest and violence of the late 1960s in the U.S.
* A lengthy 1985 article from the Los Angeles Times, “The Curious Evolution of John Rambo,” detailing the numerous film studios and the 26 scripts that were involved in the dramatic ten-year process of bringing Morrell’s character to the big screen

Dark Advent
by Brian Hodge

eBook Available For IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD!

Hi Folks!

Hot on the heals of our newest eBook releases, we’re very pleased to announce yet another new addition to the Cemetery Dance eBook line: Dark Advent by Brian Hodge, his acclaimed post apocalyptic epic that we recently published in a now sold out signed Limited Edition!

Dark AdventAbout the Book:
It arrives without warning: a devastating plague, the medieval Black Death weaponized for the age of global terrorism.

Like a biblical pestilence, this plague sweeps through modern civilization almost overnight, destroying good and evil alike, leaving only a handful of survivors to make their way through an empty landscape and face the unknown horrors awaiting them in a savage new world.

In a deserted St. Louis department store, a few survivors band together to begin again. But beyond their temporary haven, an evil is stirring. An evil that preys upon human weakness for its own twisted ends.

Soon, all that stands between the reborn world and a reign of insanity is this unlikely fortress of humanity, armed with what can be found on a department store shelf and what courage they can muster to battle a monstrous, merciless scourge…

Taylor Grant Nominated For the Bram Stoker Award!

The Dark at the End of the Tunnel
by Taylor Grant

Nominated For the Bram Stoker Award!
eBook Available For IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD!

Hi Folks!

The Dark at the End of the TunnelCongratulations to author Taylor Grant, who just received a Bram Stoker Award Nomination for his first collection, The Dark at the End of the Tunnel, which is available as an eBook from Cemetery Dance Publications!

Check out what some recent reviewers have been saying, then click to your favorite retailer and order a copy:

“The powerful yet economical story-telling and crisp, effective dialogue call to mind the great Ira Levin…Like all great horror authors, Grant can generate terror from monstrous beings but also from human cruelty. The Dark at the End of the Tunnel gives horror fans something to celebrate.”
This is Horror UK

“Give yourself a remarkable experience and buy The Dark at the End of the Tunnel.  The whole book is really good, and I mean really good, but the standouts such as “The Silent Ones” will last with you forever. When Taylor Grant becomes a household name (and that is already starting), you will nod your head sagely and say ‘I knew about him before…’”
The Horror Zine

“ …exceptional collection of short fiction…beautifully constructed.  Much is at risk in each story—not only a characters’ physical beings, but their hearts and souls as well…with emphasis on soul.
Collings Notes

“Grant has a extremely gifted writing ability and tells captivating tales…I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys their horror fiction dark and with deep thought and intelligence.”
Beneath the Underground

“Taylor Grant is an excellent writer. If his debut is this good, his future works will be amazing.”
