December is The Attraction Month

by The Undead Rat on December 1, 2008

For the month of December we have the trailer for Douglas Clegg’s novella The Attraction. See it there? To the right. Yes, there. Click on the arrow in the center to play it.

The Delirium Books hardcover edition — the the unforgettable cover — is out of print but sometimes copies become available. You can find them by clicking on the book cover and going to Horror Mall or Amazon.

The paperback edition published by Leisure is still available in print and hosts a second novella for your money. The Necromancer is a prequel to Mr. Clegg’s Harrow House Series.

What do you think? Are these book trailers working for you or should I just got to rotating pictures similar to the old rotating banners I used to have? Let me know in comments.

The Attraction:
The signs all along the desert highway read Come See the Mystery! But some mysteries should remain buried forever. Charlie Goodrow, owner of the Brake Down Palace Gas and Sundries, tells anyone who stops for a fill-up about the mysterious attraction in back. It’s the mummified remains of an ancient legendary flesh-scraper, whose job had been to scrape the flesh off the bones of human sacrifices. . . .

When a car filled with teenagers gets a flat tire out in the middle of the Arizona heat, the kids figure they have time to check out the Mystery. Behind the curtains, in a glass case, lies a small, withered corpse with very long fingernails. Above it, tacked on the wall, is a sign: Do Not Touch. Do Not Feed. But it has to be a hoax, right? How could the kids know that feeding the Mystery will be the worst mistake of their lives? How could they know that the flesh-scraper is hungry for flesh?

The Necromancer:
he man who created Harrow had a secret history, and in The Necromancer, Douglas Clegg explores the story of Justin Gravesend’s youth and his induction into the organization known as the Chymera Magick.
