Housekeeping: Today I’ll be publishing two posts — this one and the final Bestsellers at Horror Mall post later this afternoon.
Let’s continue our look at the Horror Mall bestsellers, here are the bestselling horror books in June 2010.
I’ve received a couple of questions as to why t-shirts are showing up on the bestselling book list. That’s a good question.
First, realize these bestselling lists come from the Horror Mall’s website.
Horror Mall is an online mall — a collection of independent stores that share a space — in this case a website and shopping cart — thus creating a one-stop shopping area for you, the horror reader.
5 of the stores sell horror books — including Delirium Books, Bloodletting Books, Bad Moon Books, etc. One store sells just ebooks — Darkside Digital. And one of the new stores — The Bag and the Crow — sells clothing (not just t-shirts) with images from horror fiction, movies and whatever else they think of.
If The Bag and the Crow really take off, perhaps they’ll get their own bestselling list. I have no special insight nor have I talked to Mr. Staley about it.
Until that happens, however, a t-shirt or hoodie that sells enough items to make it one of the month’s top ten sellers, will appear on the list of bestselling books and pre-ordered books.
Does this bother you? Tell me about it. Leave a comment below.

Innocents LostAuthor: McBride, Michael |

A young girl vanishes in broad daylight on her tenth birthday. Her father, FBI Special Agent Phil Preston of the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team, devotes his life to finding her and discovers a pattern in a recent string of abductions. Dr. Les Grant leads a group of graduate students into the Wyoming wilderness in search of an unidentified Native American medicine wheel photographed by an anonymous hiker. Instead, they stumble upon a macabre tableau of suffering. Fremont County Sheriff Keith Dandridge finds himself right at the heart of the mystery when twenty-seven bodies are disinterred in the Wind River Range at the westernmost edge of his jurisdiction, with the promise of more to come. All the while, an unknown evil is summoning the men to its killing grounds, where the remains of the lost innocents are left to rot . . . and a fate far worse than death awaits them. |

The Third HouseAuthor: Deane, Andy |
|
|
They had driven similar roads on similar nights hundreds of times before. They’d grown accustomed to empty stretches of pavement that led to grimy nightclubs and seedy bars. But on this night, one wrong turn will lead a group of band-mates on tour down a gravel highway to a place where nightmares live, breathe . . . and walk. Soon the five friends will encounter a family of creatures that are both monstrous and somewhat human at once, and this tour may very well be their last. The Undead Rat’s Note: |

CreeptychAuthor: Everson, John |
|
|
Does your skin crawl when you see a spider on the wall or a roach on the kitchen floor? Do you find yourself itching uncontrollably after being touched by a fly or mosquito? Do you ever lie awake half the night because you felt something delicately, carefully crawling across your feet beneath the sheets? Then this Creeptych of three bug-ridden stories is for you! Bad Day: Paul Hughes had a really bad day. He lost his job, his wife and then after getting bit by a bug . . . his life. Compared to what happens to his neighbors after the Luna Roaches come to town, his day wasn’t so bad at all. At least he died. . . . Eardrum Buzz: Wes couldn’t get enough of the music of Eardrum Buzz’s first disc, Misery Machine; the drone of their guitars was hypnotizing. But when he is brought into the band’s inner circle to join The Swarm, he soon has the music within him. Terrifyingly deep within him. . . . Violet Lagoon: When a quartet of co-eds decide to reenact The Blue Lagoon on an abandoned Florida Key, they find more than just sex and sand is on the agenda. Stings turn out to play a part in their weekend as well. Lots and lots of stings. But those were just the beginning of the pain. . . . Table of Contents:

Harry Fremont hasn’t slept in days. He’s down with a terrible flu: runny nose, fever, a sore throat, the chills, and worst of all, a horrible cough that keeps him up all night. His wife Kelly is away on a business trip and their son Garret is at college, leaving Harry alone in the house. Though worn out, Harry has been unable to sleep . . . and things are starting to change. He’s seeing unusual things outside, just beyond the windows and confines of his home . . . hearing things . . . experiencing unsettling things that make no sense. And they’re getting worse. Are they simply figments of a tortured and exhausted mind, or clues to an intricate mystery steeped in evil and deception Harry cannot yet comprehend? Haunted by remnants of earlier nightmares, disturbing questions about his life and marriage, strange shadowy figures, odd noises, cryptic writings on his doors and glimpses of a hideously disfigured being wrapped in bloody bandages, Harry free-falls into a horrifying world of paranoia, agony and terror where nothing is what it seems. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us . . . long after dark. Sleep while you still can. |

|
|
Mika Shaw is a promiscuous, drug-addicted, schizophrenic who lives in Bishop, California, a small town in the Eastern Sierras where there’s nothing to do but drink, get high, and have sex. Plagued by bizarre hallucinations, reality and nightmares co-exist in her mind, indistinguishable from one another. When her closest friends begin dying all around her under increasingly violent and bizarre circumstances, Mika is terrified that this time the nightmares aren’t just in her head. The Paiute believe that malevolent spirits called Pahoha, water-babies, live in the Owens River. The Pahoha have pale skin and black eyes and their voices sound like the cries of young children summoning strangers to the lake to be drowned. Sometimes they look like lost loved ones, dead friends or relatives calling from the other side. To see them is to be fatally cursed . . . and Mika has seen them. |
