We are excited to announce a temporary discount on many of our Deluxe Thirteen and Deluxe Lettered editions! These signed leather-bound editions are truly collectible. Here is a list of the discounted Deluxe editions:
For a very limited time you can get the signed leather-bound Deluxe Thirteen edition w/ slipcase including two bonus stories of Do-Overs and Detours by Steve Vernon for 20% OFF retail price! Do-Overs and Detours is #5 in the New Voices of Horror series!
Detours are amazing creatures. They can shortcut your existence or lead you down a forever long road that will linger far into the distant reaches of eternity. It is these unexpected tangents that people stumble across everyday that haunt in a frightening familiar fashion.
Wander into a laundromat and find a kind of time machine. Indulge yourself in a nasty game of baseball. Hitch a ride on a freight train with the piggyback man, entomb yourself in a trailer walled with books, take a ride on a bus that is going nowhere in particular, or just lean over an empty ocean and wait.
Detour around an overturned trailer of chickens and find a chance to do it all over again. Take a taxi ride with a very hungry passenger or a walk in the park to watch a juggler balance severed heads.
Reality will take you only so far--after that there's nothing to rely on but faith and fear.
Fifteen stories.
Five of them, never before published.
We've come to the edge of the map. Let's travel on a little further.

Wolfhunt by Jeff Strand
Meet George and Lou, thugs for hire. The kind of intimidating-yet-friendly guys who will break your thumbs, but be nice about it.
Their latest assignment is to drive across Florida to deliver some precious cargo to a crime lord. The cargo: a man in a cage. Though Ivan seems perfectly human, they're warned that he is, in fact, a bloodthirsty werewolf.
George and Lou don't believe in the supernatural, but even if they did, it's daytime and tonight isn't the full moon. It's just a simple transport job, albeit one that carries severe consequences if they screw it up. Their instructions are straightforward: Do not open the cage. Do not reach into the cage. Do not throw anything into the cage.
And they don't. Unfortunately, Ivan doesn't play by the usual werewolf rules, and the thugs find themselves suddenly responsible for a vicious escaped beast. One who can transform at will. One who enjoys killing in human form as much as he enjoys killing as a monster.
If George and Lou want to save their careers, dozens of people, and their own lives, they need to recapture him. Because Ivan the werewolf is in the mood for a murder spree...

Supernatural "Black Dogs," UFOs, a vampire shark, parasite-infested children, and a foul-mouthed marionette from another dimension.
These are just some of the dark delights to be found in the collection NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS, from Jeffrey Thomas - the fertile imagination behind the Punktown and Letters From Hades series, and finalist for the Bram Stoker and John W. Campbell awards. Thomas demonstrates the wide range of his ability in these short stories, novellas and poems, which include:
Godhead Dying Downwards, Thomas' acclaimed novella, in which a 19th Century priest seeks to solve ghostly mysteries in the British countryside.
The Night Swimmers, in which two brothers investigate UFO sightings in a New England forest.
The Possessed, a "New Weird" style science fiction/horror novella in which three explorers utilize a strange method of traveling to a far world.
Nocturnal Emissions, a novella (or collection of mini stories, if you'd rather) about imbalance, love, TV, a giant floating eye, and other enigmas - one chapter of which features pop star Walter Egan (Magnet and Steel) as its protagonist.
Details: Cover art by Wayne Miller, 198 Pages, eight stories, thirteen poems, available in our Signed leather-bound Deluxe A-Z Lettered edition and 100 Signed and Numbered Limited Hardcover Edition.

"Jeffrey Thomas' imagination is as twisted as it is relentless." - F. Paul Wilson, author of the Repairman Jack series
"With brutal elegance and chilling subtlety, Thomas pulls his readers into his dark visions immediately from every opening line." - Paul Di Filippo, in Asimov's
"Jeffrey Thomas is a writer to watch. I just can't put down his books once I start them." - Douglas Clegg, author of Isis
"Thomas is a very good wordsmith with a fecund and detailed imagination." - Publisher's Weekly

For a limited time you can get the leather-bound signed Deluxe Lettered Edition w/ slipcase of the Bram Stoker Award winning collection Proverbs for Monsters by Michael A. Arnzen for 30% OFF!
You Can Catch A Good Human With A Bad Hamburger
Proverbs For Monsters is an omnibus of the best writing to date by one of the most offbeat and humorous writers working in the horror genre today, Michael A. Arnzen. Hand picked by the author, these are the stories, "flash fictions," and poems most cherished by readers, most enjoyed at live performances, most celebrated by editiors of year's best collections, and most recommended for literary awards from across his career.
An Infant Vampire Bites Hardest
In Proverbs For Monsters you'll get advice for growing your own man-eating plant. You'll ride the movies of Exorcystland -- the scariest amusement park ever created. You'll attend a bizarre grade school for assassins. You'll meet a dentist with a very disturbing collection of baby teeth. You'll encounter strange children -- from the boy who carries his heart in a metal case attached to his chest to the girl who is completely encased in the carapace of her own giant scab. You'll ride a diseased elephant and witness the death of the last vampire and learn more than ever wanted to know about a perpetual embalming machine. You'll wince and laugh and wince again.
Fortune Favors the Cleaver
Whether or not you have read Michael Arnzen before or are already a fan of his gleefully twisted imagination, you're in for a very dark treat with this generous collection of thirty stories and thirty poems, many of them impossible-to-find or never seen before. Proverbs For Monsters offers the most delightful and disturbing retrospective of this acclaimed author's career.

For a limited time you can get the leather-bound signed Deluxe Lettered Edition w/ slipcase of the collection OTHER GODS by Stephen Mark Rainey for 58% OFF for only $52.50!
Spanning a career of over twenty years, the 16 tales in Stephen Mark Rainey's Other Gods depict an alluring yet macabre world, rendered by one of the horror genre's most vivid imaginations. With settings ranging from the remote backwoods of Virginia to the urban wilderness of Chicago, the veneer of Rainey's world appears familiar, even comforting; yet, beneath its surface ancient, malignant powers lurk, ready to spring forth and destroy any who discover them whether intentionally or inadvertently. Laced with humor and recounted by a captivating voice, the tales in Other Gods wait for you with open arms but beware, for they are also laden with darkness. And in that darkness, danger waits.

For a limited time you can get the leather-bound signed Deluxe Lettered Edition w/ slipcase of the collection SHADOWS AND OTHER TALES by Tony Richards for 46% OFF for just $69!
Get ready for the scariest journey of your life. Because it doesn't matter where you go--London, Hong Kong, Madrid, Japan, Jamaica--you'll find one thing waiting for you when you get there...shadows. They're on every street, down every narrow alley. They even haunt the corners of a bright tropical beach. They are always there, lingering at the edges of your vision. And they never, ever go away.
Come with Tony Richards as he wanders the globe in search of new ones. You see, anything can cast them. A raggedy old circus tent. The dim corridors of an old-age home. The incense-smelling depths of a traditional Chinese temple. You can even find them in a house just like your own. And if you dare to step into those shadows, you'll find something even more terrifying...
The fear of the unknown.
"MAN, THIS GUY CAN WRITE. HE HAS THE POWER TO INTRODUCE YOU ALL OVER AGAIN TO THE PLEASURES OF READING GOOD PROSE" -- ED GORMAN
"RICHARDS CONFIRMS HIS SUPERB STORYTELLING SKILL AND REFRESHES THE PLEASURE OF SAVOURING FINE PROSE" --MARIO GUSLANDI, SF SITE
"A TERRIFIC AUTHOR. A UNIQUE AND ELOQUENT VOICE" -- JOHN PELAN
"...The last story in the collection, 'A Night in Tunisia' celebrates the lifelong friendship of the narrator for jazz muscian Robert Biko, and has him helping the man's spirit move on when his life is over. It's a thoroughly charming amiable account, like taking a leisurely stroll through the constructs of a life and friendship, with an elegant twist on the idea of spirits the capping moment of a sotry that actually got me feeling charitably inclined toward jazz music, though I'm not going to throw that feeling away by committing the mistake of listening to some. It's the perfect end to a collection that showcased Richards' ability as a story teller, one who takes in a wealth of ideas and settings to rework in his own image and which, along with work by Thomas Ligotti and Paul Meloy, was one of my favourite collections of 2008. Richards doesn't have the prose chops and singular vision of those two, but for the sheer pleasure of reading a story by a master of the art, Shadows and Other Tales is hard to beat." - Black Static Magazine
