The Mailman by Bentley Little
“Unlike anything else in popular fiction.”
— Stephen King
New Trade Hardcover Edition Announced!
A lot of Bentley Little fans have been asking if we could publish a trade hardcover of our new edition of The Mailman to match the Limited Editions of the other ten Bentley Little books we’ll be publishing, and we’re pleased to report we’ve made a special arrangement to accept preorders for exactly that: a trade hardcover edition of The Mailman, which will be the same size and use the same high quality materials as our new Limited Editions so that your collection on your shelf can have a nice, uniform look to it!
About the Book:
Once upon a time, waiting for the mail was filled with warm anticipation, but the suicide of the local mailman has left the residents of this tiny Arizona town shell-shocked. Nothing this bad has ever happened here. But now it has and more bad things are on the way.
Soon there’s a new mail carrier in town, one who’s delivering lethal letters stuffed with icy fear. He’s bringing bad news and before too long the killing will begin.
Nothing — not even the most outstanding citizens or the most secret weaknesses — will be safe from The Mailman’s sinister power..

Signed Limited Edition Just Announced And Already More Than 50% Sold Out!
We’re pleased to announce we’ll be publishing a signed Limited Edition of December Park by Ronald Malfi and we expect all copies will go very quickly due to the small print run!
About the Book:
In the fall of 1993, the quiet suburb of Harting Farms is shocked when children begin to vanish, and one is found dead near December Park—a great, sweeping expanse that is sunken below the streets and surrounded on three sides by vast woodlands—a place children believe is haunted.
Newspapers call the abductor the Piper because he has come to lead children away, while kids whisper darker names for him in the school halls. Angelo Mazzone and his friends discover a link to the dead girl and take up the search for the killer, vowing to stop the Piper’s reign of terror.
Their teenage pledge becomes a journey of self-discovery and an odyssey into the darkness of their own hometown…

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:
In 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!
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:
THESE LIMITED EDITION SLIPCASES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS and we have no plans to produce more in the future, so this is the time to stock up with as many as you need!
The retail price is just $25 each plus shipping, and they’ll be ready to ship in March, so don’t wait around and don’t forget to order a few extras for future issues!

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.

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 edition 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.
