Signed Editions Already 75% Sold Out!
Hi Folks!
For anyone on the fence about The Best of Shivers, we wanted to let you know the SIGNED EDITIONS are selling VERY quickly… and when everyone sees the last ten contributors we’ll be revealing later this summer, we expect to hear from a lot of collectors who wish they had locked in their copy when they could!
About the Book:
In the summer of 2002, Richard Chizmar launched what would become one of the most popular horror anthology series of the last two decades when his new anthology called Shivers debuted at the Horrorfind convention in Baltimore, Maryland. To date, there have been seven volumes in the Shivers series, which have collected nearly 150 tales of horror and dark suspense by many of the bestselling horror authors of all-time, along with some of the most exciting new voices from the small press and independent publishers of terror. Almost all of these volumes are long out of print, some of them fetching high prices on the secondary market.
Cemetery Dance Publications is pleased to announce the first-ever “best of” Shivers, which will collect Richard’s personal favorites from the series. Stories by Stephen King, Peter Straub, Stewart O’Nan, Bentley Little, Jack Ketchum, Gary A. Braunbeck, Glen Hirshberg, Ed Gorman, Brian Hodge, Stephen Mark Rainey, Graham Masterton, Sarah Pinborough, Peter Crowther, Simon Clark, Brian Keene, Thomas Tessier, Ray Garton, Kaaron Warren, and Norman Prentiss are already on the table of contents… and there will be stories by TEN more authors revealed later this summer!
We don’t expect the signed copies to last long, so be sure to reserve your copy today and stay turned as we unveil the full table of contents for what will prove to be one of our most exciting anthologies in years!

Funemployment Radio’s episodic podcast, starring Greg Nibler and Sarah X. Dylan, is a five-time-a-week stop for many people around the globe. The show is one of the few “funny” podcasts that really works, and it’s because of the chemistry of the duo of Nibler and Dylan.
A few years ago, Mr. Nibler started mentioning that he felt his house was haunted. Well, Sarah X. Dylan took this as a challenge and started a full paranormal investigation of his house (after winning a challenge that Greg Nibler thought she’d never be able to accomplish).Continue Reading

Author Cemetery Dance OnlinePosted on Categories Breaking News1 Comment on "Untitled": The Horror Comics Column by Mark L. Miller 
Hi there. I’m Mark. Some of you might know me as Ambush Bug at Ain’t It Cool News, acting editor of AICN COMICS and AICN HORROR’s various posts, reviews, interviews, and podcasts. Others might know me as the writer of comic books such as Black Mask’s Pirouette, Zenescope’s Jungle Book, and various other projects. Still others might know me from my day job as a licensed counselor at a residential home for boy and girls in Chicago, the town where I hang my various hats. Whether you know me from these places or are meeting me here for the first time, the only thing you need to know is that I love horror in all forms and when Cemetery Dance approached me to write a monthly piece on horror comic books, you better bet I jumped at the chance.Continue Reading
Author Cemetery Dance OnlinePosted on Categories Free FictionLeave a comment on "Terminal" by Kealan Patrick Burke “So, would you like my number?” she asked.
Perched on the side of the bed with his back to her, the rumpled sheets still reeking of sex, Adam closed his eyes and sighed silently. “Sure,” he said, tugging on his socks. He would give her his number because that’s how these things were supposed to go, but as soon as he was on the road, he would block hers. Getting whiny texts from some air stewardess (or whatever the hell they called themselves nowadays) would be just what he needed when he got home to his wife. Glenda was already suspicious, and with good cause. He had learned to be careful not to bring any evidence of his exploits home with him after the one time she found a pair of pink frilly panties in his suitcase, put there by one of his conquests while he’d been in the shower.Continue Reading

Long-time fans are likely to be the biggest benefactors of Working for Bigfoot, Jim Butcher’s collected trio of Harry-Dresden-meets-Sasquatch stories, but newbies (like me) may find it the perfect gateway into the world of the author’s popular Chicago-based wizard.Continue Reading

Like most Cemetery Dance readers, I am sure, I rarely leave the house without a book in hand. Sometimes I leave a deluxe edition home and have a travel book to take with me. I guess it is similar to how some people feel about carrying a gun. Better to have a book and not need it, than need one and not have it.Continue Reading
Author Cemetery Dance OnlinePosted on Categories Breaking NewsLeave a comment on Save 44% Off Your Cemetery Dance Order! Sorry, this special has ended!
Those of us who’ve read our work in public understand how difficult it is to keep an audience engaged for longer than about 15 or 20 minutes. Unless you’re a skilled performer (Tom Monteleone comes to mind among that group), the audience will get restless if you go on much longer than that.
Which is why the producers of audiobooks so often turn to actors as narrators. Or, as in the case of “Drunken Fireworks,” the new audiobook-only story from Stephen King, to someone like Tim Sample, who has produced the “Postcards from Maine” segment for CBS Sunday Morning. Other people in his category who come to mind are Garrison Keillor of The Prairie Home Companion or, a personal favorite, Stuart McLean from The Vinyl Cafe. These are raconteurs, people you don’t mind listening to for extended periods of time as they spin out their stories.Continue Reading

Samhain Publishing (June 2015)
Reviewed by Blu Gilliand
If White Knuckle reads like the tie-in novel to a classic 1980s slasher flick, it’s understandable – author Eric Red counts the original screenplays for 1980s horror classics The Hitcher and Near Dark among his accomplishments. White Knuckle benefits from Red’s cinematic background, as he tells the story – a rig-driving serial killer plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a determined, if inexperienced FBI agent – at a breakneck pace right from page one.

Did you know that Facebook has a “I don’t want to see this” button?
It’s true. Using it blocks a specific post from your timeline, but doesn’t unfollow or silence the person who shared it. After the third of my friends posted the meme you see to your right, I started clicking that button. Liberally.
