Cemetery 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!

Thank you, as always, for your continuing support!

Hi 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… ”
— Kevin Quigley, FEARnet

This is actually a dark twist on the classic children’s picture book.

Perfect for geek children and adults who love dark faerie tales, international bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss has described the Princess’s adventures as, “Calvin and Hobbes meets Coraline, with a healthy dose of Edward Gorey mixed in.”

We’re very pleased to announce the publication of Weak and Wounded by Brian James Freeman, featuring an exclusive introduction by Ron McLarty, a stunning cover by Vincent Chong, and original interior illustrations by Glenn Chadbourne!

About the Book:
This new collection by Brian James Freeman features characters who are searching for answers to deeply troubling questions.

* In “Running Rain,” a devastated husband and wife try to pretend life can somehow be normal again after their son becomes a victim of a serial killer known as The Riverside Strangler… but the dark secrets they’re keeping from each other push their relationship to the brink.

* In “Marking the Passage of Time,” a couple approaches the end of the world in their own ways as the clock ticks down and they try to figure out where all of the time has gone…

* “Where Sunlight Sleeps” is the tale of a grieving father and his young son, both dealing with a shared loss the best they can, who take a trip down a memory lane lined with jagged edges and vicious traps…

* On “The Last Beautiful Day,” a devoted husband returns to the scene of the worst day of his life by volunteering for a job that is both morbid and profound.

* “Walking With the Ghosts of Pier 13” is the story of a young man visiting the beach front amusement park where his brother died during a terrorist attack. He wants to understand why a madman came to this place and blew himself up and killed so many innocent people… but the answer to that question might not be the only thing waiting for the young man when he starts walking with the ghosts.

These five hauntingly beautiful stories show why Publishers Weekly has called Freeman’s writing “skillfully composed prose” and why Tess Gerritsen has said, “Brian James Freeman managed to both scare me and move me to tears.”

Double Feature
by Owen King
Signed Limited Edition Hardcover Selling Out Fast!

We’re pleased to report we’ll be receiving a few copies of the signed Limited Edition of Double Feature by Owen King from Gauntlet Press, but this special edition has a TINY print run and demand is HUGE so we expect these remaining copies to be snapped up in no time at all!

This is Owen’s first novel and he has added a ton of bonus material including deleted scenes to make this special edition unique from any other edition in the world!

Double Feature
by Owen King

Publisher: Gauntlet Press
Publication Date: 2014
Limited Edition: 500 numbered copies, signed by Owen King and Scott Snyder ($65)

About the Book:
Filmmaker Sam Dolan has a difficult relationship with his father, B-movie actor Booth Dolan—a boisterous, opinionated, lying lothario whose screen legacy falls somewhere between cult hero and pathetic. Allie, Sam’s dearly departed mother, was a woman whose only fault, in Sam’s eyes, was her eternal affection for his father.

Also included in the cast of indelible characters: a precocious, frequently violent half-sister; a conspiracy-theorist second wife; an Internet-famous roommate; a contractor who can’t stop expanding his house; a happy-go-lucky college girlfriend and her husband, a deranged ballplayer; the morose producer of a true crime show; and a slouching indie film legend. Not to mention a tragic sex monster.

Unraveling the tumultuous, decades-spanning story of the Dolan Family’s friends, lovers, and adversaries, Double Feature is an epic novel about letting go of everything — regret, resentment, dignity, moving pictures, the dead — and taking it again from the top. Combining propulsive storytelling and mordant wit against the backdrop of indie filmmaking, Double Feature brims with a deep understanding of the truths of ambition and art, of relationships and life and of our attempts to survive it all.

This limited edition includes a tip sheet drawn by bestselling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box, NOS4A2), an afterward by Harvey Award-wining author Scott Snyder (American Vampire, Batman), as well as deleted scenes and other bonus materials that expand on the world of the novel.

Save Yourself
by Kelly Braffet

One of The Most Talked About Thrillers In Recent Memory And We’re Offering Signed Trade Hardcovers For A Limited Time Only!

Cemetery Dance publisher and founder Richard Chizmar said Save Yourself was one of his favorite reads of 2013 and he’s not the only one who loves this exciting new dark thriller!

Entertainment Weekly called it “spectacularly nightmarish” and Booklist said “the plot is on a collision course that is going to end ugly—but also, in Braffet’s hands, beautifully” and Publishers Weekly (in their starred review) called the book “captivating, realistically creepy.”

We’re getting  a very limited  number of copies of this trade hardcover and we’ve made special arrangements to have them SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR! Considering this was one of the most talked about dark thrillers of 2013, that’s a deal you can’t beat!

About the Book:
A gripping novel full of suspense and pathos that Dennis Lehane calls an “electrifying, tomahawk missile of a thriller.”

Patrick Cusimano’s life can’t get much worse. His father is in jail, he works the midnight shift at a grubby convenience store, and his brother’s girlfriend, Caro, has pushed their friendship to an uncomfortable new level. On top of all that, he can’t shake the attentions of Layla Elshere, a goth teenager who befriends Patrick for reasons he doesn’t understand, and doesn’t fully trust. The temptations these two women offer are pushing Patrick to his breaking point.

Meanwhile, Layla’s little sister, Verna, is suffering through her first year of high school. She’s become a prime target for her cruel classmates, and not just because of her strange name and her fundamentalist parents. Layla’s bad-girl rep casts a shadow too heavy for Verna to bear alone, so she falls in with her sister’s tribe of outcasts. But their world is far darker than she ever imagined…

Unless Patrick, Layla, Caro, and Verna can forge their own twisted paths to peace—with themselves, with each other—then they’re stuck on a dangerous collision course where the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Kelly Braffet has written a novel of unnerving power—darkly compelling, compulsively addictive, and shockingly honest.

Turn Down the Lights
The Publishers Weekly Review Has Arrived And 1st Editions Are Going Fast!
“Chizmar has essentially produced an all-star, book-length issue of his magazine, and horror fans should be sure to pick it up.”

We’re pleased to report that Publishers Weekly has reviewed Turn Down the Lights edited by Richard Chizmar and they loved the anthology!

This review virtually guarantees the distributor and bookseller orders will go through the roof, and we’re already planning a second printing, so don’t wait to place your order if you want the most collectible verisons of this book for your collection:

Chizmar celebrates the 25th anniversary of his Cemetery Dance magazine with new stories by the small group of writers whom he considers an integral part of the magazine’s history. New stories by Stephen King, Peter Straub, and Clive Barker would be enough to make this one of the notable horror collections of the year, and all of those are indeed solid (particularly King’s “Summer Thunder,” a heartbreaking tale of two men and a dog awaiting certain death after nuclear war). Pieces by less mainstream, more cultish writers also hold their own. Ed Gorman’s “Flying Solo,” a tale of two widowed cancer patients who decide to become vigilantes, is typically clever, while Norman Partridge’s “Incarnadine” is a tight, brutal take on supernatural revenge movies. Bentley Little’s “In the Room” is a chilling and disturbing story of people mysteriously disappearing from a man’s life… Chizmar has essentially produced an all-star, book-length issue of his magazine, and horror fans should be sure to pick it up.
