A Long December by Richard Chizmar
Brand New Signed Limited Edition Hardcover From Subterranean Press!

Hi Folks!

We’re very pleased to report that we’ll be getting copies of A Long December by Richard Chizmar, his new Limited Edition from Subterranean Press and his first collection in more than two decades. This will be a BIG book, just look at the lengthy table of contents on the product page!

Note From Cemetery Dance:

About the Book:
In 1996, Richard Chizmar’s debut short story collection, Midnight Promises, was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Publishers Weekly called it “a sterling collection” while singling out “The Silence of Sorrow” as “an understated masterpiece.”

Two years later, Subterranean Press published a mini-collection from Chizmar entitled Monsters and Other Stories. In his introduction, acclaimed genre critic Edward Bryant said, “When all is said and done, this book should leave you in utter silence, giving you time and opportunity to contemplate what you just read. Tough storytelling from a tough writer; but a writer who is not calloused. Chizmar possesses a finely honed gift of empathy. With utter grace and loving kindness he’ll put you right inside the life (and soul) of the monster.”

Now, nearly two decades later, Chizmar assembles thirty-five stories, including a previously-unpublished novella, and presents us with A Long December. This massive new collection features more than 150,000 words of Chizmar’s very best short fiction and includes 8,000 words of autobiographical Story Notes.

Eerie, suspenseful, poignant, the stories in A Long December range from horror to suspense, crime to dark fantasy, mainstream to mystery.

As New York Times bestselling author Scott Smith (A Simple Plan, The Ruins) notes: “It’s an idyllic little world Richard Chizmar has created. Boys fish in the shallows of a winding creek. A father tosses a baseball with his young son in the fading light of a summer day. There’s the smell of fresh-cut grass. And then, well…just beneath the surface? There are those missing pets whose collars turn up in a shoebox. Or the disturbing photos the dead can leave behind. Or the terrible thing you might find yourself doing when a long lost brother suddenly returns, demanding money. Chizmar does a tremendous job of peeling back his world’s shiny layers, revealing the rot that lies underneath. His stories feel like so many teeth: short and sharp and ready to draw blood.”

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to report we’ll be receiving copies of Fine Cuts by Dennis Etchison from Borderlands Press and we don’t expect this signed Limited Edition hardcover to last long!

About the Book:
This book collects 13 powerful tales by one of the most acclaimed writers in modern horror. These are unforgettable stories from the dark side of Hollywood and the razor’s edge between fantasy and reality, where truth is under contract to ambition, morality remains on the cutting-room floor and life and death are the ingredients of a plot from which no one can escape.

Originally published only in the U.K. and never reprinted, this is the rarest of Etchison’s collections. Borderlands Press is proud to present the first American publication of Fine Cuts, including a preface by the author, an introduction by Peter Atkins and expanded contents for this very special edition.

DENNIS ETCHISON is a master of the short story and one of the most acclaimed writers in modern horror/dark fantasy. His work has appeared in print since 1961 and he is a three-time winner of both the British Fantasy and World Fantasy Awards.

The Night of the Triffids by Simon Clark
HUGE New Surprise In-Stock Signed Limited Edition Hardcover Shipping Now!

Hi Folks!

We’re extremely pleased to announce yet another surprise IN-STOCK signed Limited Edition, The Night of the Triffids by Simon Clark!

About the Book:
The Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham’s classic bestseller, is one man’s description of doomsday: almost the entire population has gone blind, and the world has a new master—the monstrous triffid plant. The novel ends with its narrator, Bill Masen, leaving the British mainland with his wife and son to join a new colony on the Isle of Wight.

In The Night of the Triffids, which takes place in the 29th year since the fall of the old world, David Masen, Bill’s now grown–up son, wakes one morning to discover that the world has been plunged into darkness. The few sighted people have their artificial lights, but once more the triffid has the advantage. Setting off to find the cause of the darkness, David finds himself stranded.

Eventually rescued and taken to New York, he discovers a very different sort of colony, prosperous and technologically advanced. But this sophisticated society hides an evil secret—and David is about to come face to face with an old enemy from his father’s past.
