EVERYTHING YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED by Mick Garris
It was supposed to be the night of his life: a celebration of his one hit slasher flick. But the price of admission is higher than this has-been filmmaker ever could have imagined.

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE by Kealan Patrick Burke
Although she was mute long before the affair that nearly wrecked their marriage, her silence has tortured her husband ever since. Now he will seek out what he has lost—or be driven mad by remorse.

MECHANICAL GRATITUDE by Del James
Arnold loves his ’68 Camaro almost as much as he loves his wife, and he’s willing to do anything to protect them both—especially after hearing strange noises coming from his garage.

THE ONE AND ONLY by J. Kenner
When he was seven, Will Underwood’s nanny told him she had The Sight. Years later, a broken heart sends him to New Orleans… but it’s fate that leads him to Madame Darkling’s Voodoo Emporium.

THE PLAYHOUSE by Bentley Little
A real-estate agent is drawn into a children’s playhouse behind an abandoned property she’s trying to sell—and finds herself strangely reluctant to leave.

In Montana, a man attends the funeral of his parents, ostensibly killed in a car crash.

TWO new eBooks from Donn Gash and James Newman
Available For IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD!

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to announce TWO new eBooks featuring stories that could have only sprung from the minds of James Newman and Donn Gash!

Death Songs From the Naked Man
by Donn Gash and James Newman

Some things are funny when they shouldn’t be, and DEATH SONGS FROM THE NAKED MAN will leave you simultaneously laughing, shivering… and wondering WTF is wrong with James Newman and Donn Gash.

From the title story, a bullet-riddled collaboration about bizarre goings-on at a convenience store, to solo tales from each author about screwed-up people living (and dying) in a screwed-up world, DEATH SONGS FROM THE NAKED MAN is a collection of four strange stories that will have you singing along with its cast of characters: “We’re all mad here.”

But be warned… it’s not over till the guy in his birthday suit chimes in with a tune of his own.

People Are Strange
by James Newman

A talking bug who may or may not be our sixteenth President reincarnated…a beloved grandfather with a terrible secret…a man who takes “coveting thy neighbor’s wife” to a horrifying new low…a community composed of sadists and serial killers…two smiling men in ties carrying the word of God and a straight razor…

You’ll meet all of these and more in People Are Strange, an eclectic compilation of short fiction by James Newman. People Are Strange is a collection of tales that are as weirdly humorous as they are disturbing, stories that will make you laugh even as you shudder.

Featuring a Foreword by Jeff Strand, one of the strangest people James Newman knows.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and enthusiasm!

TWO new eBooks from Kevin Quigley
Essays About Stephen King and A Full-Length Novel!
Available For IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD!

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to announce TWO new eBooks from Kevin Quigley including a collection of his recent Stephen King essays and a novel that will scorch your perceptions, obliterate your sleep, and scare you half to death!

Thirteen Years: Stephen King in the 21st Century
by Kevin Quigley

Now, for the first time ever, Stephen King expert Kevin Quigley’s articles, reviews, and essays from the first thirteen years of the new century are collected in one place. From the beginnings of King’s involvement with the Internet with the publication of the first eBook bestseller, “Riding the Bullet,” to in-depth critiques of King’s most recent novels and stories, Thirteen Years is one of the most incisive and entertaining looks at King’s recent career yet compiled.

Kevin Quigley has been writing books and articles on his favorite subject for decades. His unique look at King’s career spawned a popular chapbook series, including titles like Wetware, Blood in Your Ears, and Chart of Darkness. He has also written full-length works like A Good Story and Good Words, and, with Brian Freeman, and Hans-Ake Lilja, The Illustrated Stephen King Movie Trivia Book. He has maintained a hugely popular King news and information page, Charnel House, since 1996, and more recently has written extensively on King for the site FEARnet.com.

I’m On Fire
by Kevin Quigley

High school sophomore Laurie Reardon is drawn into the horror when she is only fifteen. The placid suburban surface of Staketon, Connecticut had long held its secrets–wicked stepmothers, grisly legends, and the darkness of a foreboding forest–but now a series of brutal murders has forced them into the light… and into Laurie’s life. Her drive to solve the murders becomes an obsession, one that ensnares her sister, her friends, her mentors, and her prince-charming boyfriend, all of whom have secrets of their own. Will Laurie prevail, or will the darkness consume her?

From the mind that brought you the terrifying visions of This Terrestrial Hell comes I’m On Fire, a novel that will scorch your perceptions, obliterate your sleep, and scare you half to death.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and enthusiasm!

Hi Folks!

The reviews are rolling in for The Consultant by Bentley Little, his brand new 400+ page novel that has never been published anywhere in the world, and the critics are loving Little’s take on workplace horror!

Here is the latest, a STARRED REVIEW from Daniel Kraus in Booklist:

“Why aren’t more horror novels set in the workplace? Surely few things strike fear into the heart more than the squeak of the boss’ shoes rounding the credenza, a memo about an emergency sales meeting, or an accidental reply-all e-mail. Craig Horne didn’t think software firm CompWare’s downtick in business warranted the hiring of the consulting firm BFG Associates, but now it seems they’re stuck with them. Or him, to be precise: Regus Patoff, a bone-thin, flat-topped, bow tie–clad Mephistopheles whose initial thousands of e-mails and hundreds of meetings only hint at what’s to come. As he did in The Mailman and The Influence,Little wrings his premise for every drop of blood and sweat. PowerPoint presentations—with gory crime-scene photos. Mandatory blood drives—conducted with rusty knives. Staff weight-loss programs—with naked weigh-ins. Training sessions—on proper toilet-papering technique. Little understands the ominous undertones of companyspeak like initiatives, streamlining, and, most of all, termination. As suicides and “accidents” mount, it becomes clear that BFG intends to radically restructure (another eerie euphemism) CompWare, even if it means infiltrating employees’ personal lives, as Craig learns when Patoff begins consulting at both his wife’s job and son’s school. This is ink-black dark comedy at its chortling, devious best. Bosses who get the joke should be handing this out with the Christmas bonuses.”

THE DEPARTED by Clive Barker
On All Hallows’ Eve, a dead and disembodied mother yearns to touch her young son one last time. But will making contact destroy them both?

CREATURE FEATURE by Heather Graham

THE NEW WAR by Lisa Morton
Mike Carson is a war hero and a decorated vet. He doesn’t deserve to be trapped in a hospital with some black thing sitting on his chest as patients die all around him. His only hope is to take out the nurse—before it’s his turn.

SAMMY COMES HOME by Ray Garton
It’s what every family prays for: a lost pet returning home. But when Sammy, the Hale family sheepdog, appears on their doorstep, he brings back something no parent would ever wish upon his or her child.

THE BRASHER GIRL by Ed Gorman
Cindy Marie Brasher is the prettiest girl in the Valley, and Spence just has to have her. Unfortunately, Cindy has a “friend”… a friend who tells her to do things… bad things.

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to report that we’ll be getting some copies of The Art of Tomislav Tikulin from SST Publications in the UK, but we don’t expect our stock to last long due to the popularity of Tomislav’s artwork!

The Art of Tomislav Tikulin is a beautiful and heavily equipped book. This comprehensive collection focuses on the two primary genres of his work: sci-fi & fantasy and horror. His distinctive and stylish art is very reminiscent of the 70s and 80s era. Tomislav’s artwork has graced the covers of many legendary SF, fantasy & horror books including Larry Niven’s Ringworld Engineers, Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama, Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine (50th Anniversary Edition) and Stephen King’s Carrie, plus many more. This is the first collection of art from this visionary artist.

PRAISE FOR THE ART OF TOMISLAV TIKULIN:
“Some people say that every picture is worth a thousand words. Well, if that’s true then, considering the standard of his work, Tomislav Tikulin is owed millions of ’em from fans of SF, Horror and Fantasy fiction. Indeed, I’m delighted to say that Tomislav’s stylish imagination has graced the covers of a good many PS titles down the years and every one blew us away. But, if I were to choose just one, then it would have to be his sensitive and haunting treatment of Ray Bradbury’s timeless Dandelion Wine, for which Stephen King penned perhaps his most moving Introduction. Truly inspired and inspiring in equal measure. So folks, let’s take off our hats: we’re in the presence of greatness here. Take a look inside if you don’t believe me.”
—Peter Crowther

“Tikulin’s art is beautifully haunting, full of mood and elegance and a tangible sadness. Any writer would be lucky to have his art on a book cover. I know I was.”
—Christopher Golden

“Tomislav is one-of-a-kind: even among artists working in the genre, his work has a darkness, a strangeness, that catches the eye and leaves viewers feeling like there’s something sinister lurking just out of sight, however realistic the subject matter. I’m grateful for his contributions to the look of Analog.”
—Trevor Quachri

“It’s been my great privilege to see Tomislav’s artwork illustrating my stories. So much contemporary fantastic illustration is meticulously rendered, but also rather sterile and unengaging—but Tomislav’s work is the exact opposite of that, with a real sense of texture and emotional depth. He works with a restrained palette, and fine brushwork, to tremendous glowing effect—all luminous blues and golds. You could not possibly mistake his work for anyone else’s.”
—Alastair Reynolds
