Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to announce The Straw Men: The Deluxe Special Edition by Michael Marshall has arrived from the printer and will begin shipping this week! This special edition features bonus material including a long introduction by the author and scans of the author’s writing notebooks.

About the Book:
In Montana, a man attends the funeral of his parents, ostensibly killed in a car crash.

In Los Angeles, a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by a man assumed dead.

These events are linked by the fact that in both there is something missing. As there is in so much of the world, for so much of the time.

What’s missing is a secret, something which strikes at the heart of what it is to be human. What it is that makes us this way…

This Cemetery Dance Publications exclusive special Limited Edition includes a long introduction by the author, scans of the author’s writing notebooks, and much more!

Special Features Exclusive to this Special Collector’s Edition:
• deluxe oversized design (7 inches X 10 inches)
• high-quality endpapers and fine bindings for both editions
• bonus features including a long introduction by the author and scans of the author’s writing notebooks
• extremely collectible print run that is a tiny fraction of the MILLIONS of copies of this novel you’ve seen in bookstores — and you will NOT find our edition in chain bookstores!

TWO new eBooks from Donn Gash and James Newman
Available For IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD!

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to announce TWO new eBooks featuring stories that could have only sprung from the minds of James Newman and Donn Gash!

Death Songs From the Naked Man
by Donn Gash and James Newman

Some things are funny when they shouldn’t be, and DEATH SONGS FROM THE NAKED MAN will leave you simultaneously laughing, shivering… and wondering WTF is wrong with James Newman and Donn Gash.

From the title story, a bullet-riddled collaboration about bizarre goings-on at a convenience store, to solo tales from each author about screwed-up people living (and dying) in a screwed-up world, DEATH SONGS FROM THE NAKED MAN is a collection of four strange stories that will have you singing along with its cast of characters: “We’re all mad here.”

But be warned… it’s not over till the guy in his birthday suit chimes in with a tune of his own.

People Are Strange
by James Newman

A talking bug who may or may not be our sixteenth President reincarnated…a beloved grandfather with a terrible secret…a man who takes “coveting thy neighbor’s wife” to a horrifying new low…a community composed of sadists and serial killers…two smiling men in ties carrying the word of God and a straight razor…

You’ll meet all of these and more in People Are Strange, an eclectic compilation of short fiction by James Newman. People Are Strange is a collection of tales that are as weirdly humorous as they are disturbing, stories that will make you laugh even as you shudder.

Featuring a Foreword by Jeff Strand, one of the strangest people James Newman knows.

TWO new eBooks from Kevin Quigley
Essays About Stephen King and A Full-Length Novel!
Available For IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD!

Hi Folks!

We’re pleased to announce TWO new eBooks from Kevin Quigley including a collection of his recent Stephen King essays and a novel that will scorch your perceptions, obliterate your sleep, and scare you half to death!

Thirteen Years: Stephen King in the 21st Century
by Kevin Quigley

Now, for the first time ever, Stephen King expert Kevin Quigley’s articles, reviews, and essays from the first thirteen years of the new century are collected in one place. From the beginnings of King’s involvement with the Internet with the publication of the first eBook bestseller, “Riding the Bullet,” to in-depth critiques of King’s most recent novels and stories, Thirteen Years is one of the most incisive and entertaining looks at King’s recent career yet compiled.

Kevin Quigley has been writing books and articles on his favorite subject for decades. His unique look at King’s career spawned a popular chapbook series, including titles like Wetware, Blood in Your Ears, and Chart of Darkness. He has also written full-length works like A Good Story and Good Words, and, with Brian Freeman, and Hans-Ake Lilja, The Illustrated Stephen King Movie Trivia Book. He has maintained a hugely popular King news and information page, Charnel House, since 1996, and more recently has written extensively on King for the site FEARnet.com.

I’m On Fire
by Kevin Quigley

High school sophomore Laurie Reardon is drawn into the horror when she is only fifteen. The placid suburban surface of Staketon, Connecticut had long held its secrets–wicked stepmothers, grisly legends, and the darkness of a foreboding forest–but now a series of brutal murders has forced them into the light… and into Laurie’s life. Her drive to solve the murders becomes an obsession, one that ensnares her sister, her friends, her mentors, and her prince-charming boyfriend, all of whom have secrets of their own. Will Laurie prevail, or will the darkness consume her?

From the mind that brought you the terrifying visions of This Terrestrial Hell comes I’m On Fire, a novel that will scorch your perceptions, obliterate your sleep, and scare you half to death.

Hi Folks!

The reviews are rolling in for The Consultant by Bentley Little, his brand new 400+ page novel that has never been published anywhere in the world, and the critics are loving Little’s take on workplace horror!

Here is the latest, a STARRED REVIEW from Daniel Kraus in Booklist:

“Why aren’t more horror novels set in the workplace? Surely few things strike fear into the heart more than the squeak of the boss’ shoes rounding the credenza, a memo about an emergency sales meeting, or an accidental reply-all e-mail. Craig Horne didn’t think software firm CompWare’s downtick in business warranted the hiring of the consulting firm BFG Associates, but now it seems they’re stuck with them. Or him, to be precise: Regus Patoff, a bone-thin, flat-topped, bow tie–clad Mephistopheles whose initial thousands of e-mails and hundreds of meetings only hint at what’s to come. As he did in The Mailman and The Influence,Little wrings his premise for every drop of blood and sweat. PowerPoint presentations—with gory crime-scene photos. Mandatory blood drives—conducted with rusty knives. Staff weight-loss programs—with naked weigh-ins. Training sessions—on proper toilet-papering technique. Little understands the ominous undertones of companyspeak like initiatives, streamlining, and, most of all, termination. As suicides and “accidents” mount, it becomes clear that BFG intends to radically restructure (another eerie euphemism) CompWare, even if it means infiltrating employees’ personal lives, as Craig learns when Patoff begins consulting at both his wife’s job and son’s school. This is ink-black dark comedy at its chortling, devious best. Bosses who get the joke should be handing this out with the Christmas bonuses.”
