Whenever accused child murderer (and defrocked priest) Bill Ryan is near a telephone, it wails a continuous ring. As soon as somebody answers it, the caller, a long-dead boy, begs to be rescued from the psycho who killed him. A fugitive from the law, Ryan (using the alias Will Ryerson) is stalked by a primeval and malevolent force across America in this successfully formulaic installment of the horror series begun in The Keep. Detective Sergeant Renaldo Augustino is also hunting Ryan, and plans to torture Ryan before arresting him. Meanwhile, the evil entity is settling an old grudge with Ryan by killing his loved ones. However, the fugitive’s fear is neither of apprehension nor death, but of the child whom he buried five years ago in an unmarked grave. A large cast of characters fleshes out the ranks in Wilson’s stagy battle pitting good against evil

Considered by Karl Edward Wagner to be the greatest American supernatural horror novel of the 20th century, this new edition features the classic jacket design of Stanislaw Zagorski presented in a novel way.
A spellbinding novel of murder, mystery, and the occult, “Falling Angel” pits a tough New York private eye against the more fearsome adversary a detective ever faced. For Harry Angel, a routine missing-persons case soon turns into a fiendish nightmare of voodoo and black magic, of dizzying peril and violent death — a world in which the shadow he chases seems to be the shadow he casts.

Some of Your Blood by Theodore Sturgeon
Introduction by Steve Rasnic Tem

Innovatively told through letters, interviews, and traditional narrative, Some of Your Blood effectively portrays the tragic upbringing of George Smith to his attempts at a stable life and the great love of this life to his inevitable downfall.

Special features of this edition:
New design with entirely reset text
New essay by Steve Rasnic Tem, noted critic and writer

He has a perfect life. A beautiful wife, three loving children and an empire he’s spent a lifetime building. Robert Workham is happy, truly happy for the first time in as long as he can remember.
The last time he came close to this level of joy was a lifetime ago, when he was a very different entity, a violent, hateful thing that killed without remorse or compassion. In his time he has slain kings, leaders of industry and some of the most power figures in the history of mankind. But that’s all in the past.
But now his past is coming back for him… His name is Jonathan Crowley, and he is relentless and unforgiving.

The old saying “the Devil is in the details,” might well be true, but how can you know if what you see is the work of a deity or a demon? That perhaps is a matter of perspective. There are myriad answers to the questions of fate, synchronicity and destiny. Just as there are there are any number of ways in which a quilt can be made, countless different patterns and shapes that can be put together in the making of the thing and little of it ever seems to be deliberate, unless you take the time to look at the big picture. Seen as a single unit, the pattern emerges, if the people behind the design have done their part properly.
Seen from a proper perspective a logic and rhythm present themselves that could easily be lost without the added distance. The same seems to be true, on occasion, with the scheme of how human lives interact. There may be truth in that or merely false perceptions. A lot of it seems to depend on who you speak to, who you ask. The patterns that are seen after all is said and done could be coincidence, or they could in fact be the machinations of some greater force.
A visit then, to see the pieces, placed as they are around the town of Beldam Woods, to watch them as they are chosen and stitched into one another, to make a pattern out of patchwork.
TERMINAL: The Play by Brian Keene & Roy C. Booth (Limited Edition)
Publisher: Morning Star 2008
This is a signed limited edition hardcover
Book is in new unread condition
BONUS: This book also comes with the very rare chapbook STONE TEARS by Brian Keene.
This book is being published by Morning Star an imprint of Bloodletting Press
William Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage, and all the men and women in the world are merely players upon that stage, each with their own entrances and exits.
But while this may be true, you’ve never seen an exit like Tommy O’Brien’s…
Since it’s initial publication, Brian Keene’s Terminal has been hailed by critics as “this generations’ The Girl Next Door”, “emotionally brutal”, “gritty yet sublime”, “a seminal work in the Brian Keene canon”, and “a bleak, grim reality play”.
Now that reality play is indeed a reality. Brian Keene and the esteemed, award-winning playwright Roy C. Booth have teamed up for a stage adaptation of Terminal that will appeal to both old and new fans alike.
If you’ve read the novel and think you know the story of Tommy, Sherm, Benji, and the rest, think again. While faithful to the novel, Terminal: The Play delivers more twists and turns and adds new layers of depth to Tommy’s struggle to survive—and its ultimate aftermath.
JUDAS GOAT by Greg F. Gifune (Signed Limited Edition)
Publisher: Morning Star 2008
This is a signed limited edition hardcover
Book is in new unread condition
Who is the Judas Goat?
It had been twenty years since Lenny Cates had seen or heard from his old college flame Sheena. Theirs had been a brief and tumultuous relationship that ended badly, so when Lenny is notified that Sheena has died in a freak accident and has left her entire estate to him, he feels compelled to investigate the last days leading to her untimely death. As Lenny arrives in town to settle her affairs, he begins to dig deeper into Sheena’s life and learns her final days were cast in shadows of loneliness, depression and experiments in black magic. Soon, Lenny will discover that Sheena’s death has awakened something insatiably demonic and old as mankind, something lying in wait and growing stronger in a quiet little town where the horrors of the past never truly die, pain is eternal, and nothing is as it seems.
Look closer…sometimes evil hides in plain sight.
THE LUCID DREAMING LETTERED EDITIONS READY TO SHIP! ONLY TWO LEFT!
THE LUCID DREAMING BY LISA MORTON (Lettered signed hardcover edition)
BRAM STOKER AWARD WINNER!
We are PROUD to announce the LETTERED EDITION of Lisa Morton’s BRAM STOKER AWARD WINNING novella, “The Lucid Dreaming”. The books are hand crafted by the amazing CHRIS HEDGES with “psychedelic” cover and endpapers. You DO NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THIS TITLE! Those of you who own, or have seen our lettereds of “The Scrubs” and “Miranda” crafted by Hedges, know what I am talking about….
Ashley, a twentysomething California girl, is a postpunk who would rather be called Spike and who worries about money, her family, and freeway traffic. She’s also a violent paranoid schizophrenic living in a state facility west of Los Angeles, her disorder kept under control by confinement and the drug Prolixin.
One day Spike is shocked to find her cell door open and so she ventures out, only to find the walls smeared with blood and the staff missing or dead. She escapes and ventures into a world that’s been driven mad by waking nightmares, where she’s now the sanest person alive. Searching for answers, Spike embarks on a road trip that will lead her from Beverly Hills to a nightmarish Texas compound to the highest office in the land…
“A cold, calculating nightmare. Sharp as a finely honed blade. ‘The Lucid Dreaming’ cuts, separating the flesh before you even know you’ve been injured. It makes you bleed as a reader.” —Del Howison, Bram Stoker Award-winning editor for Dark Delicacies

America – the land of opportunity, a place where economic prosperity beckons: but not for PI Jack Taylor, who’s just been refused entry. Disappointed and bitter, he thinks that an encounter with an over-friendly stranger in an airport bar is the least of his problems. Except that this stranger seems to know rather more than he should about Jack. Jack thinks no more of their meeting and resumes his old life in Galway. But when he’s called to investigate a student murder – connected to an elusive Mr K – he remembers the man from the airport. Is the stranger really is who he says he is? With the help of the Jameson, Jack struggles to make sense of it all. After several more murders and too many coincidental encounters, Jack believes he may have met his nemesis. But why has he been chosen? And could he really have taken on the devil himself?
SHADOWS
“To think of shadows is a serious thing.” ~ Victor Hugo
SHADOWS: Supernatural Tales by Masters of Modern Literature features terrifying explorations of the dark by D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Edith Wharton, Henry James, Willa Cather and many of the other great writers who revolutionized dark fiction. These may be the finest ghost stories ever written.
From the Introduction by Robert Dunbar:
Abandoned houses seldom turn out to be as empty as they appear. Voices fade, but echoes linger in the dimness, and sometimes figures emerge from those shadows, if only in dreams. What could be more profoundly idiosyncratic than a nightmare? Always, there has been something intensely personal about ghost stories. How surprising can it be that so many concern writers in torment? With styles gravitating toward the ambiguous and the existential, the artists who revolutionized Gothic horror did so by bringing it into the modern world, away from all those castle battlements and dreary moors, replacing superstitious dread with psychological sophistication …
“Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.” ~ Thomas Browne SHADOWS ~ in paperback ~ just went up for pre-order.
