Let’s continue our look at the bestsellers at the Horror Mall, here are the bestselling horror book in April 2010.
There is some precedent for this. Remember when the pre-order list for December 2009 included the Morning Star Subscription and the Delirium 2009 Slipcase, Volume 2? Neither were books, strictly speaking. But they sold enough to make the list.

Henry just wants his garage back.
Well, he wants his wife back, too.
He lost both six months ago when Claire helped an injured deer on the side of the road. In went the deer and out went the BMW. Their marriage went on hold to save what some would consider a damn good meal.
But the day has come to return everything back to normal. The deer is healthy and Henry and Claire spend a quiet spring morning releasing it in the woods. Serenity soon turns to terror as they realize they are lost in the labyrinth of the forest with no food and hardly any water.
Food and water are the least of their worries. In these woods a long forgotten god is worshiped. Its followers believe in sacrifice, and Henry and Claire have stumbled into their dark world.

Arizona, 1538
A relentless drought has dogged the region, driving local Native American tribes to war with their neighbors. Fearing an eminent attack from a local Apache tribe, a desperate Hopi medicine man sprinkles his warriors with dust from a mysterious meteor. He hopes it will aid them in battle.
It’s a slaughter.
The battle-hardened Apache quickly decimate the peaceful Hopi tribe and set to scavenging for food in their dwellings. But the battle is far from over. The butchered Hopi begin to rise, and the triumphant Apache soon find themselves facing a new enemy . . . a dead enemy.
Arizona, 1867
Dustin DeWind is a loner — a gunslinger used to sleeping under the stars with only his trusty steed and two pistols as company. When he approaches the tiny mining town of Saddleback, he hopes to find a bed, a bath, and a warm meal.
What he finds is death.
The local miners dug too deep, and what they unleashed has all but consumed the local population. Dustin soon finds himself holed-up in the local saloon with a handful of survivors and a trio of desperados.
With a hungry horde of reanimated corpses outside scrambling for entrance, it will take all his cunning and skills to survive.
Dust of the Dead is the first book in Sideshow’s Dark Canvas series, a new line of books with an increased emphasis on stunning horror illustrations.

The Face That Must Die

Ramsey Campbell’s daring look into the mind of a psychotic killer was published in truncated form in 1979; an expanded edition was later published in 1982. The paranoid outlook of the book’s main character, Horridge, is a grim commentary on a bleak Liverpool suburb and Thatcher-era England.
This edition has the corrected text by Campbell and the compelling photographs of J.K. Potter, with a new introduction by Poppy Z. Brite, a bonus short story, and a new afterword by Campbell.
The Potter photographs are printed so fine that Potter himself called us when the book was published, stating that their austere, full-page, full-bleed presentation was the finest presentation and reproduction of these works that he had ever seen.
The hardcover edition is limited to just 300 copies and is signed by Campbell, Potter, and Brite. Bound in cloth with a handsome dustjacket.
The Undead Rat’s Note: The price at Horror Mall this month (May, 2010) reflects a %50 reduction. I do not know how long copies will last.

Arnold Enright has been a prisoner for the past six years, confined to a cell not of his own making.
Sentenced to viewing his world’s reflection in a mirror and with little hope of escape, he is a man whose whole existence can be measured in feet and inches, his only companion the relentless wheeze of an iron lung.
In this hopeless life of scientific dead-ends, Arnold Enright is left to ponder, to regret, to constantly remember what was, and what might have been. Forever praying for an escape route and a way to end it all, Mr Enright is about to discover his prayers have been answered, but in a way he could never have imagined.

One day the rain just didn’t stop.
As the flood waters slowly rose and coastal cities and towns disappeared, some people believed it was the end of the world. Maybe they were right.
But the water wasn’t the worst part.
Even more terrifying was what the soaking rains drove up from beneath the earth—unimaginable creatures, writhing, burrowing . . . and devouring all in their path. What hope does an already-devastated mankind have against . . . The Conqueror Worms.
