Interview: Paul Tremblay on Craft, King, and Building His Cabin

Author Paul Tremblay
Author Paul Tremblay

Paul Tremblay’s path to becoming the bestselling author he is today was quite different from that traveled by most other writers. “I would say it was atypical,” he observes. While Tremblay remembers Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” as being something that resonated with him in elementary school, he didn’t find much enjoyment in reading as a child. He certainly had no aspirations of becoming a writer. What he really wanted was to be a professional basketball player.Continue Reading

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!

Review: Halloween Fiend by CV Hunt

Halloween Fiend by C.V. Hunt
Grindhouse Press (February 2019)

112 pages; $12.95 paperback; $2.99 e-book
Reviewed by Anton Cancre

CV Hunt is becoming a legend in extreme circles, but I don’t think she gets nearly the credit she deserves for her ability to work in quieter spaces. Luckily, we have Halloween Fiend, a South of Heaven move to follow the Reign in Blood that was last year’s Cockblock.Continue Reading

The Dead Bear Witness by James Chambers: New eBook Available For Immediate Download!

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….
