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

Publisher: 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!

About 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…

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

Hi Folks!

Congratulations 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.”

Ugly by Mick Garris
Just Announced! Brand New Signed Limited Edition Rolling At The Printer!
Cover Artwork by Tomislav Tikulin

Hi Folks!

We’re extremely pleased to report that we’ve sent Ugly by Mick Garris, a brand new Signed Limited Edition hardcover, to the printer and it’ll be published in June!

About the Book:
Being a doctor empowers you in ways civilians cannot imagine, and Terry has helped the rich and famous of Hollywood stay young and perfect for years past their prime. He thinks he’s seen everything, but he hasn’t seen someone like Brittany before.

I turned around in slow motion, reeling, and saw the repellent creature behind the counter staring at me. Even more repulsive, she was starting to smile. Her teeth were horrifically staggered.

“Maybe you should stay,” she said, happily.

I tried to shake my head, but it just jerked spastically. I tried to speak, but my tongue was thick and my lips couldn’t form the words. I just gulped and floundered like a goldfish dumped from its bowl onto the floor. And then this creature shambled out from behind the counter and crossed the room, her shadow growing as she grew closer until it devoured me. She turned off the lights, put the CLOSED sign in the window, lowered the curtains, and squatted down next to me.

“You’re pretty,” she told me…
