Stephen King’s introduction for Gwendy’s Magic Feather. the new full-length Castle Rock novel by Richard Chizmar, has arrived and it’s classic King non-fiction. Titled “How Gwendy Escaped Oblivion,” it’s a great read, and we don’t want to spoil the fun, but we did feel we had to share this particular quote:

“In the story you’re about to read—lucky you!—all of Rich’s formidable skills are on display. He evokes Castle Rock well, and the regular Joes and regular Jills that populate the town ring true. We know these people, and so we care for them. We also care for Gwendy. To tell you the truth, I sort of fell in love with her, and I’m delighted that she’s back for more.”

We’re accepting our FINAL RESERVATIONS for signed copies, so please visit our Gwendy’s Magic Feather page now and place your order now!

The Best of Cemetery Dance: Volume Two will showcase the very finest short stories from Cemetery Dance magazine, picking up where the acclaimed and award-winning first “Best of” volume left off!

For those Stephen King fans out there who want to read one of his earliest published short stories, this massive anthology concludes with his short story “The Glass Floor,” which was originally published in Startling Mystery Stories in 1967 and marked King’s first professional sale, earning him $35! We reprinted this one in Cemetery Dance a few years ago and are very pleased to be able to include it in The Best of Cemetery Dance: Volume Two with an introduction by Stephen King that appeared in Weird Tales way back in 1990!

Featuring a virtual “who’s who” of today’s greatest authors of dark fiction, The Best of Cemetery Dance: Volume Two will be one of the most important anthologies published this year. Just a handful of the contributors include Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Peter Straub, Bentley Little, Michael Marshall Smith, Ray Garton, Jack Ketchum, Douglas Clegg, Poppy Z. Brite, Joe R. Lansdale, Nancy A. Collins, Peter Crowther, Norman Partridge, Ed Gorman, William F. Nolan, F. Paul Wilson, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Simon Clark, Richard Christian Matheson, David J. Schow, Stewart O’Nan, Glen Hirshberg, Ramsey Campbell, and dozens of others!

As many of you know, Richard Chizmar is the first author to ever be allowed to write about Stephen King’s Castle Rock, and he’s returning there this fall in a brand new full-length novel, Gwendy’s Magic Feather.

What you might not know is that, although both of the signed special edition sold out within days of being announced, Richard will be making time to sign 1st Edition, 1st Printing trade hardcovers for our customers who order through our online store, but we need to limit the number of copies he’s signing or he’ll never have any time this November to spend promoting the book!

So, if you’re interested in ordering your SIGNED COPY for no additional charge, please visit our Gwendy’s Magic Feather page now and reserve your copy!

REVIVAL: The Deluxe Special Edition!
by Stephen King
The First Special Edition from LetterPress Publications!
Slipcased Limited Edition to be limited to exactly
the number of copies preordered between May 15 and May 31!

Hi Folks!

We’re extremely pleased to report we’ll be getting copies of the first book from Brian James Freeman’s new LetterPress Publications, and what an extraordinary launch title it is:

REVIVAL: THE DELUXE SPECIAL EDITION by Stephen King will be published as an Oversized Slipcased Limited Edition with a TON of special features including SIXTEEN full color illustrations by François Vaillancourt, and the print run is being set based solely on the preorders collected between now and May 31!

After the preorder window closes, the print run is set in stone, and REVIVAL: THE DELUXE SPECIAL EDITION is guaranteed to be OUT OF PRINT pre-publication, so this could easily have the lowest print run of this sort of Stephen King collector’s edition in many, many years!

There’s a lot of information on our product page about all of the special features, plus more than a dozen samples of the interior artwork, so please don’t wait to click this link if you’re interested!

Sentenced to life after a bank robbery gone bad, Cornell thought his worst nightmare had come true—and that he deserved it. After a stint in solitary, though, he learned his nightmare had only started: While Cornell rotted in isolation, all around the world the dead had returned to life.

Inside the prison walls, Cornell should’ve been well protected.

He didn’t reckon on the stone cold killer who demanded his help breaking out, nor the fanatic warden who forced him to help “save the souls” of other prisoners. He didn’t count on being snared in a web of lies, violence, and betrayal. He didn’t expect his survival to depend on fighting his way back to freedom before the eyes of the watchful dead.

Now as nooses sway over the prison yard, Cornell can almost feel one tightening around his neck, and freedom seems so far away….
