Revival: A New Novel by Stephen King

Revival: A New Novel by Stephen King
A spectacularly dark and riveting novel about addiction, religion, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life!

The official sales copy for Revival by Stephen King, another brand new 500+ page novel from the King of Horror that is due out from Scribner later this year, has been posted and this book sounds AMAZING to us!

About the Book:
Stephen KingIn a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs—including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.

Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of 13, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family’s horrific loss. In his mid-thirties—addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate—Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.

Cemetery Dance Magazine Limited Edition Slipcases!

Cemetery Dance Magazine Limited Edition Slipcases!

Over the years we’ve been asked if there’s really a good way for our readers to store their copies of Cemetery Dance magazine — something better than tossing them in a cardboard box in the basement or stacking them in piles on a bookcase.

A few years back, one of our traycase/slipcase designers proposed a special, fitted slipcase that held approximately eight to ten issues of the magazine. Those slipcases are long sold out, but we’ve started hearing from readers about needing more, so we’ve talked to our new slipcase maker and they’re making us even nicer cases:

About the Book:
Tales of horror and the fantastic have been told in many ways over the centuries — around the campfire, on the stage, in books and movies, and even on television — but no form is quite so visceral and direct as the script.

Whether it’s a stage play, a feature film screenplay, or the script for a classic horror comic, these acclaimed authors aren’t just putting black text on a white page. The writing may seem clean and simple at first, but the authors are actually creating worlds; they’re luring you into their creations and before you know it, there’s no way out. You’re part of the story and you have to keep turning the pages until you reach “The End” or “Fade Out.”

The big question is: will you survive to see the final curtain call?

Come now, take your seat, and let the show begin. You have nothing to fear but your own imagination.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR COLLECTORS:
Gone GirlWe have not sent out the press release yet to the mass media or done anything to notify Gillian Flynn’s many fans about this project because we wanted to give our long-time collectors first shot, but we can only wait so long.

In addition, we have not listed the book with the major book distributors yet, who will surely want far more copies than we’re printing.

If you were on the fence or planning to wait, please do not hesitate — we cannot hold copies!

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn: The Deluxe Signed & Slipcased Special Limited Edition!

Stephen King says:
“Gillian Flynn is the real deal, a sharp, acerbic, and compelling storyteller with a knack for the macabre.”

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Deluxe Signed & Slipcased Special Limited Edition!
Just Announced And Already More Than 50% Sold Out Due To Strong Demand From Collectors!

We’re pleased to announce we’ll be publishing a deluxe signed & slipcased Limited Edition of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, one of the most talked about books in recent memory, and due to the small print run for a book with this level of acclaim, we expect our copies will go very quickly!

NOTE FOR COLLECTORS:
Gone Girl is one of the most popular dark thrillers published in the last two years and we don’t expect our small print run of this special Gone Girledition to last very long.  If you remember how quickly acclaimed books like The Passage sold out, then you have some idea of what we expect for Gone Girl — only this book is probably one of the most talked about books we’ve published in a very long time!

About the Book:
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick Dunne’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River.

Husband-of-the-Year Nick Dunne isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but hearing from Amy through flashbacks in her diary reveal the perky perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.

Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?

As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister Margo at his side, Nick stands by his innocence.

Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was left in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?

Employing her trademark razor-sharp writing and assured psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

Soon the citizens of Magdalena are experiencing unnatural desires.

Next their children begin to disappear and freakish creatures emerge from the surrounding wilderness.

The community is unraveling at a frightening pace.

But these are merely the early warning signs of a showdown with a powerful force of darkness that could obliterate the world forever, and only Ross Lowry sees the danger that lurks ahead…

Twelve Bentley Little Books To Be Published By Cemetery Dance Publications!

Twelve Bentley Little Books To Be Published By Cemetery Dance Publications!

“Somewhere further down the Highway of Horror, there’s going to be a reappraisal—or rediscovery—of Bentley Little’s work. When you think about all the people writing (or trying to write) scary fiction, he’s one of the few who sees the genre as a means to an end rather than the end itself. His stories have actual themes! Dig it!”
— Stephen King

Bentley LittleCemetery Dance Publications is proud to announce we’ve signed a twelve book deal with horror legend Bentley Little to make many of his most popular classics available again for readers as collectible signed Limited Edition hardcovers, affordable trade paperbacks, and eBooks!

This new deal grew out of the success of The Influence by Bentley Little, an original novel we published in October 2013 that is now on its second printing, and these twelve books include The Revelation, The Mailman, and The Summoning, which will be published later this year, to be followed by University, Dominion, The Ignored, The Walking, The Association, The Collection, The Policy, Dispatch, and The Burning. (The Mailman has already been published as a signed Limited Edition, but supplies are nearly exhausted and that edition will not be reprinted.)

The Revelation, The Mailman, and The Summoning are all available for preorder immediately!

Outstanding New Reviews Still Arriving!

Turn Down the LightsHi Folks!

If you’re on the fence about ordering Turn Down the Lights edited by Richard Chizmar, we’d like to point you toward some of the new reviews landing on our desk!

Click on the links below the excerpts to read the entire reviews, which we highly recommend:

“A surprise anniversary anthology from Cemetery Dance is coming out to commemorate 25 years of their magazine…. To celebrate that landmark event, he has put together a collection of all-new stories from many regulars of the magazine and book line. It’s an all-star lineup for this horror anthology and a diverse group of stories too… Still with the amazing lineup of authors with all new stories, it’s definitely worth the $35 price tag in my opinion. Recommended.”
— Trever Nordgren, Hellnotes

Turn Down the Lights functions as both a celebration and a summation; aptly, quite a few of these stories are about endings, quiet and loud… ”

Stephen King: News from the Dead Zone #163

A quick update because a couple of interesting things have come to light over the past few days. First, a report from Quint at Ain’t It Cool News reveals that Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul has taken a few meetings regarding the possibility that he might play Eddie Dean in Ron Howard’s adaptation of The Dark Tower.

Then, the very next day, someone known only as “The Phantom” claimed that Media Rights Capital (MRC) will be funding a $60 million version of the first film and that Liam Neeson is in the running to play Roland. MRC recently produced Elysium. The information about MRC is in line with earlier reports (as is the possibility that Netflix could do the TV component of the adaptation), but the source is anonymous, so file this one under “unconfirmed rumor.”

Under the Dome will return on June 30, with an episode written by King. In a trailer for Season 2 that debuted at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, viewers see that two favorite characters won’t survive the first episode and there will be an unexpected kiss.

King’s three year-end best-of essays appeared in the same double issue (Issue 1291/1292 dated 12/27/13 and 1/3/14) of Entertainment Weekly at the end of December. Since the essays won’t be on EW’s website, they were posted at King’s message board.
