People Live Still in Cashtown CornersAuthor: Burgess, Tony |
|
|
“It is what it is. That’s her car out there and, well, that’s her right there.” Jeremy looks at the woman again. There’s a few flies dipping in and out of the back of her skull. “What happened to her?” I feel a little uncomfortable. I wasn’t really planning to lay it all out like this. “Well, I hate to say this but I killed her.” Jeremy nods slowly. He’s starting to take this in and I’m relieved. “Don’t ask me why. Anything I say is just gonna sound ridiculous.” I rub my hand in my hair. I want to appear frustrated. “Things just got out of control.” Bob Clark owns the Self Serve at Cashtown Corners. It’s the only business there and Bob is the only resident. He’s never been comfortable around other people. Until he starts to kill them. And murder, Bob soon discovers, is magic. People Live Still at Cashtown Corners is Bob’s account of a tragedy we all thought was senseless. Hardcover will contain bonus material not found in the trade paperback. |

In the Mean TimeAuthor: Tremblay, Paul |
|
|
A history teacher begins his unorthodox senior course with clips from an ominous surveillance video, causing a student’s home life to deteriorate along with the lessons. A girl with a second head that changes into different historical and fictional identities tries to find her father while figuring out how to handle Mom and the book club. A blog documents society’s slow, unexplained, but inexorable end, or is it only a collection of pixel-sized paranoia? A once-awkward teen holes up in a kiddie-themed amusement park after the end of the world, and schemes to take Cinderella’s Castle by force. This collection by Paul G. Tremblay (author of The Little Sleep and No Sleep Till Wonderland) features fifteen stories of fear and paranoia, stories of apocalypses both societal and personal, and stories of longing and coping. HC-only material:

Bullet through Your FaceAuthor: Lee, Edward |
|
|
No writer is more extreme, perverted, or gross than Edward Lee. His world is one of psychopathic redneck rapists, sex addicted demons, and semen stealing aliens. Brace yourself, the king of splatterspunk is guaranteed to shock, offend, and make you laugh until you vomit. Bullet Through Your Face collects three novellas demonstrating Lee’s mind-blasting talent. Ever Nat — One man is forced to endure an unimaginable torment just to stay alive, one night at a time. The Salt-Diviner — A touching story of one couple and the quadriplegic, homeless fortune teller locked in their basement. The Refrigerator Full of Sperm — Why are all the men of Luntville falling into comas with their pants down and dicks up? Table of Contents:

SirenAuthor: Everson, John |
|
|
Music can transport you to the depths and heights of emotion. Music can make life worth living. Music can steal your soul. Evan’s soul is dead as he walks the empty Northern California beach every night. Petrified of the water all his life, he’s never recovered from seeing his son drown in the ocean’s waves. But then one night, he hears a song on the beach. A beautiful, tortuously emotional melody that leads him right to the brink of the surf. That’s when the music ends, and a gorgeous nude woman dives off the black rocks to disappear in the waves. His fears for her safety are allayed when she returns the next night to sing again . . . only this time, he’s touched by more than her song . . . He’s touched by something that won’t let him go . . . |

Empty MileAuthor: Stokoe, Matthew |
|
|
By the author of the controversial “Cows”. When Johnny Richardson comes home to the town of Oakridge he has one thing on his mind — putting right a terrible mistake he made eight years ago. Revisiting the past, though, is a dark and dangerous game in small town America. When a careless sexual episode leads to the suicide of the town’s first lady, Johnny finds himself the target of a revenge campaign that threatens to tear apart the fragile world he’s built with his brain-damaged brother and depressive girlfriend among the gold-bearing mountains of Northern California. Left an unexplained piece of land when his father mysteriously disappears, Johnny must unravel its secrets in a desperate bid to protect those he loves. His efforts to do this, though, have deadly consequences and will ultimately force him to confront not only his own failings, but the very nature of guilt itself. A searing meditation on the futility of trying to right the wrongs of the past, Empty Mile blends elements of thrilling urban noir with the wide open spaces of outdoor adventure in a story that reflects America’s contemporary uncertainty about itself. |

Please, let me show you. Welcome to Sarah Court: make yourself at home. The hardcover will have bonus material not in the paperback! |

The Dead ParadeAuthor: Daley, James Roy |
|
|
James Roy Daley’s debut novel is a whirlwind of blood and violence, taking the reader down an insane path of carnage. It offers no sympathy. It takes no prisoners. It obliterates anything that might translate into hope. There is a demon — a killing machine that cannot be stopped. After facing the death of his brother and his wife, James’ best friend threatens suicide. When James attempts to stop this act, something passes into him. It is the beast, a monster that opens the doorway to non-stop violence. James becomes the accidental pawn of this demon, which comes with but one warning . . . No one that comes into contact with James is safe. Cover Art by Eerie Von of Danzig, Samhain, and The Misfits! |

The Hair Wreath and Other StoriesAuthor: Villegas, Halli |
|
|
Girls and boys disappear; couples caught in the heat and suppressed rage of urban life are haunted by the ghosts of their own making; neighbourhoods drift in the murky atmosphere of buried emotions, where the echoes of distrust and dissonance prove that something just isn’t . . . right. These strange stories gather and weave themselves together into a wreath of memories, rife with an atmospheric and ominous creep redolent of Shirley Jackson. This eerie collection illustrates the disconnect amongst people and the places they inhabit — the gap that allows the supernatural to flourish. The hardcover will include bonus material not available in the paperback! |
