Hi Folks!

We’re extremely pleased to announce we’ll be publishing a deluxe oversized signed & slipcased Limited Edition of The Damnation Game by Clive Barker and it’s already selling out very quickly! Given the extremely low print run and Barker’s worldwide legion of collectors, we do not expect either edition to be available for preorder for very long!

About the Book:
There are things worse than death. There are games so seductively evil, so wondrously vile, no gambler can resist.

Amid the shadow-scarred rubble of World War II, Joseph Whitehead dared to challenge the dark champion of life’s ultimate game.

Now a millionaire, locked in a terror-shrouded fortress of his own design, Joseph Whitehead has hell to pay. And no soul is safe from this ravaging fear, the resurrected fury, the unspeakable desire of…

The Damnation Game.

Special Features Exclusive to this Collector’s Edition:
• deluxe oversized design with a trim size of 7 inches X 10 inches
• full color cover artwork
• high-quality endpapers and fine bindings for both editions
• full-color signature sheets in the signed editions
• extremely collectible print run and you will NOT find our edition in chain bookstores!

Trade Hardcover Edition, Signed Limited Edition!

We’re very pleased to announce the publication of The Influence by Bentley Little, a brand new 400+ page novel that has never been previously published anywhere in the world!

About the Book:
Everything is about to change…

When Ross Lowry moves into his cousin’s guest house in the small community of Magdalena, Arizona, he expects nothing more than breathing room and a brief respite from his economic woes.

But something is not right in the desert.

After a raucous party on New Year’s Eve, the luck of the attendees undergoes an immediate U-turn. The rich and successful suddenly find themselves facing catastrophic failure while the less well-off are unexpectedly flush with good fortune.

This is only the beginning…

Soon the citizens of Magdalena are experiencing unnatural desires.

Next their children begin to disappear and freakish creatures emerge from the surrounding wilderness.

The community is unraveling at a frightening pace.

But these are merely the early warning signs of a showdown with a powerful force of darkness that could obliterate the world forever, and only Ross Lowry sees the danger that lurks ahead…

We’re pleased to report we’ll be getting copies of Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King, his brand new 500 page novel due out from Scribner next year!

We only have some early details, but USA Today described this book as a suspense novel about a deranged terrorist with a bomb. King said he began it before the Boston Marathon bombing, but the events were “too creepily close for comfort.” It’s also been previously described as a detective novel involving a person who drove a car into a crowd of people and then taunted the Detective who handled the case after his retirement.

Add A Special Exclusive Slipcase To Your Order To Protect Your Book!

Even though Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King is being published by another publisher, we will be producing one of our popular custom-made slipcase for this title like we have for the last few Stephen King books!

The easiest way to add a slipcase to your purchase is by selecting the “Trade Hardcover Edition with Exclusive Slipcase!” option above — you’ll also save on shipping by ordering this way! (You can order just the slipcase by itself on the Mr. Mercedes custom slipcase product page.)

Don’t know what a slipcase is? That’s okay! You can see some sample images of other slipcases we’ve made below. We’re using the same high-quality materials we have used for our previous Stephen King cases, with one color hot foil stamping. The company who makes these for us is the best in the business and you won’t find a better way to protect your investment! (If you’re new to collecting, you can read more about slipcases on our Book FAQ page.)

We’re selling these special slipcases for just $24.95, making them an extremely affordable way to protect your book.  These cases will be produced after the book is published because we need a real copy of the book to get the sizing just right and your book and slipcase will ship together to save you on shipping. We think our collectors will be very pleased with what we have in mind for these very special cases, so don’t wait to place your order!

We’ve received some great new reviews for Brian James Freeman’s work in the past week, including two rave reviews for his collection Weak and Wounded, which will be done at the printer later this month.

Here is an excerpt from Kevin Quigley’s review of Weak and Wounded for FEARnet:

“Rarely has a title been so apt. Weak and Wounded plunges us into small worlds, in which people live desperate lives and struggle with impossible decisions. Loss permeates every page: these people survive the deaths of parents, children, spouses, and siblings, only to find that survival might be a fate worse than death. But the power in these pages comes not from what our protagonists suffer, but how they suffer it. How they continue to go on…. By tying these stories together by theme, feel, and intent, Freeman has created a work of collected fiction that stands as one piece. Each story beats with its own punctured heart, but taken as a whole, Weak and Wounded is even better than the sum of its broken and damaged parts.”

Here is an excerpt from Mario Guslandi review of Weak and Wounded at SF Site:

“Brian James Freeman is a brilliant writer whose horror stories do not rely upon vampires, zombies or werewolves, as the present collection (a slim book reprinting five of his previously published stories) clearly demonstrates. In these stories he portrays one of the true horrors afflicting human existence, namely the pain, the hurt and the emptiness created by the loss of loved ones. Freeman describes that horror with skill, insight and finesse, leaving behind a deep sense of sorrow and anger for the atrocities of life… Whether you’re a horror fan or not, it doesn’t matter: anyone fond of good fiction addressing and probing the deep secrets of the human soul will be enchanted by the sheer beauty of those stories.”

Finally, here is an excerpt from Wayne C. Rogers review of Blue November Storms at Hellnotes:

“I have to admit that what Blue November Storms reminded me of was one of the old episodes from the sixties’ version of The Twilight Zone television series. This is when some of the greatest writers in television (Rod Sterling, Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson) were creating masterpieces on a little known TV show that would later alter the lives of hundreds of future authors. Brian James Freeman, like the authors above, creates and structures his stories at a pace that starts off slowly and then gradually works its way to an exploding climax that has the reader making a mad dash to the finish line.”

Don’t forget, we have two awesome new Signed Limited Edition Art Prints by Glenn Chadbourne that were inspired by two of Stephen King’s greatest books and these will be available for a very limited time only:
