GROUP OF THIRTY by Jack Ketchum
When an award-winning horror writer on the downward slope of a long career receives an invitation to address the Essex County Science Fiction Group, he figures he’s got nothing to lose. He couldn’t be more wrong.

NANCY by Darynda Jones
Though she’s adopted by the cool kids, the new girl at Renfield High School is most drawn to Nancy Wilhoit, who claims to be haunted. But it soon becomes apparent that poltergeists—and people—are seldom what they seem.

I LOVE YOU, CHARLIE PEARSON by Jacquelyn Frank
Charlie Pearson has a crush on Stacey Wheeler. She has no idea. Charlie will make Stacey see that he loves her, and that she loves him—even if he has to kill her to make her say it.

THE LONE AND LEVEL SANDS STRETCH FAR AWAY by Brian Hodge
When Marni moves in next door, the stale marriage of Tara and Aidan gets a jolt of adrenaline. Whether it’s tonic or toxic is another matter.

Intro to Alien Invasion by Owen King, Mark Jude Poirier, and Nancy Ahn!

Intro to Alien Invasion by Owen King, Mark Jude Poirier, and Nancy Ahn
Owen King, Mark Jude Poirier, and Nancy Ahn will ALL be signing our copies, making this a unique collectible at a bargain price!

Hi Folks!

Intro to Alien InvasionWe’re pleased to report we’ll be getting copies of Into to Alien Invasion by Owen King and Mark Jude Poirier, and our copies will be SIGNED by King, Poirier, and illustrator Nancy Ahn. Already a bargain at just $17.99, you cannot beat this deal!

About the Book:

In this wildly entertaining collaboration, novelists Owen King and Mark Jude Poirier team up with illustrator Nancy Ahn to present a wickedly funny graphic novel about an alien invasion on a college campus.

Stacey, a brilliant, overachieving astrobiology major at Fenton College, had planned on just another lonely Spring Break on campus. But when a hurricane batters the small college town, downing power lines and knocking out cell phone reception, Stacey and her friends are stranded with no way to communicate with the outside world at the worst possible moment: in the midst of an alien invasion.

As space insects begin to burrow into students and staff, transforming them into slobbering, babbling monsters, a conglomeration of misfits must band together to prevent the infestation from spreading. Meanwhile, Stacey’s long-stifled romantic feelings for her friend Charlotte begin to surface, while the professor she had admired and respected becomes the students’ worst enemy.

Illustrated with enormous wit and dynamism—mixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics, B-movies, and campus culture—this graphic novel is something different, a large-scale action/adventure story as seen from the point-of-view of a contemporary, realistic heroine. The result is a funny and singular work unlike anything else you’ve ever read.

Hi Folks!

The Fleshless ManIn case you missed the news, we’re very pleased to report that The Fleshless Man by Norman Prentiss is available as an afforable trade paperback and copies are shipping from our warehouse now!

The Fleshless Man
by Norman Prentiss

About the Book:
“The Fleshless Man wants to kill me,” his mother said.

Curtis never enjoyed the cool, oppressive atmosphere of his childhood home, and that atmosphere is even worse when he returns as an adult. His mother is dying, and her illness seems to infect everyone around her: Curtis’s brother has developed a nervous habit that might indicate more serious problems; the attending nurse exhibits puzzling, possibly sinister behavior; and Curtis himself suffers from nightmares and uncharacteristic dark thoughts.

It’s as if the house itself wants his mother to die more quickly–and it will achieve that goal however it can.

Even if it must inspire Curtis to imagine harming his own mother.

Even if it must summon the intervention of a strange entity called the Fleshless Man.

Cemetery Dance Presents Our New Style of Deluxe Lettered Editions!

As we’ve mentioned a few times over the last year, we’ve been working to address one of the biggest requests we get from collectors: publishing the Lettered Edition at the same time as our Limited Edition of a book. We’re pleased to report we’ve developed a new style of Lettered Edition that will allow us to do just that while creating an even more beautiful special edition. (A shelf of these new Lettered Editions will look amazing, as you can probably guess from the first photos below.)

Essentially, for certain projects (not ALL projects), we’re taking the budget we used to allocate to the traycase production and we are instead devoting those funds to upgrade the materials used in the production of the actual book. So instead of having a traycase, all of the titles produced using this new Lettered Edition style will feature an upgraded leather binding, spine hubs, illustrated or marbled endpapers, and page edges that are hand-dipped in silver or gold gilding (something we’ve only previously done on STEPHEN KING books!). Starting with the next batch, we’re also upgrading the front cover stamping to include unique artwork stamping to make the editions even more unique. Many of these features have previously been exclusive to our high-end special editions and we’re thrilled to be using these techniques on editions that are more affordable to the general collector.

How to tell the difference when ordering:
We are still issuing Lettered Editions with traycases and the product pages will specifically say “Deluxe Traycased Lettered Edition” if the book is traycased. Those volumes will not include the special features of this new style since we’re still producing the traycase.

If the Lettered Edition is of the new style, it will say “Deluxe Lettered Edition” on the product page and under the “Editions” tab it will include information such as “…raised hubs on the spine, custom gilded page edges dipped by hand, and featuring full color illustrated endpapers.” There will be NO mention of a traycase.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Mindy at [email protected] and she’ll be happy to help you out.

Here are some photos of our first batch of Lettered Editions in the new style to give you a feel for what makes them different:

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

FINDERS KEEPERS: A New Novel by Stephen King

FindersKeepersCover“Wake up, genius.” So begins King’s instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, a Salinger-like icon who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.

Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Sauberg finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he’s released from prison after thirty-five years.

Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life—for good, for bad, forever.

Dinner With the Cannibal Sisters by Douglas Clegg Signed Limited Edition Hardcover!

Dinner With the Cannibal Sisters by Douglas Clegg
Signed Limited Edition Hardcover!

Hi Folks!

Dinner With the Cannibal SistersIf you haven’t picked up your copy of Dinner With the Cannibal Sisters by Douglas Clegg yet, we have good news for you: we still have some copies left available while supplies last!

Douglas Clegg has been one of the most popular authors with our collectors over the years, and this new one might just be our favorite book of his to date, so don’t wait because you might miss out!

In addition, many collectors have said this is one of their favorite books in terms of the design and the aesthetics, with some collectors going so far as to say it is the perfect combination of design and story. We agree that it is a beautiful looking book. Why don’t you check it out for yourself?

About the Book:
From Douglas Clegg, award-winning author of Neverland and Isis, comes a dark gem about a notorious family — and a feast like no other.

You’re invited to dinner…

In October 1890 authorities discovered two teenaged girls at Bog Farm surrounded by a scene of unimaginable carnage. A legend grew of their cannibalistic night of terror, but young Lucy and Sally were never put to trial and no one has ever before gotten close enough to interview them.

Twenty years later, an inexperienced reporter travels to their New Hampshire farm, determined to shed light upon the events of that night.

Lizzie Borden, Dr. Crippen, the Windrow Sisters — murderers whose mystique has lasted more than a century. But of them all, the tale of the Windrow girls is unrivaled in its legend of depravity and innocence corrupted.

Salome by Mick Garris
Brand New Original Signed Limited Edition Novel!

“With the brilliant Salome, Mick Garris is at the top of his game, daggered and wise.  Fiercely offbeat, its mystery mesmerizes, its wit beheading Hollywood’s sunny decay. The writing astonishes and the desperate dreams of Garris’s lost and magnificent will break your heart.”
— Richard Christian Matheson

Hi Folks!

SalomeIn case you missed the news, we do still have copies of Salome by Mick Garris, a brand new, never before published original novel of horror and mystery by the creator and executive producer of Showtime’s Masters of Horror series!

About the Book:
I thought I hated my wife. Until she was murdered.

I thought I knew her, too. Better than anyone.

The spouse is always the first suspect. You feel guilt regardless of how far you are from the scene of the crime. I couldn’t help but feel complicit, that our mutual and growing hatred had somehow taken root and led to this. I knew it wasn’t true in a legal sense, but I felt dirty with responsibility regardless.

Maybe I never really hated my wife. Maybe she just drove me mad. Maybe I would miss her.

But mostly, I needed to know who killed her, and why…
