STEPHEN KING & JOE HILL FANS REJOICE!
STEPHEN KING’S N by Marc Guggenheim (trade hardcover)
There is something unearthly and mysterious deep in Ackerman’s Field in rural Maine. There is a Stonehenge-like arrangement of seven stones with a horrifying EYE in the center. And whatever dwells there in that strange, windswept setting may have brought about the suicide of one man…and harbor death for the OCD afflicted “N.”, whose visits to the field have passed beyond compulsion into the realm of obsession. Based on the chilling short story from the recent Stephen King collection, JUST AFTER SUNSET, this adaptation will provide nightmares aplenty. Just keep counting the stones…keep counting…counting… Collecting STEPHEN KING‘S N. #1-4.
A young man is betrayed, and finds himself in a desperate battle of man versus beast. Is the love of a maiden enough to keep him alive? Co-writers Joe Hill and Jason Ciaramella, along with artist Nat Jones, weave a special tale filled with flame, fur, and ferocity in the upcoming one-shot, Kodiak.
DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD HOME by Peter David & Robin Furth (trade paperback)
The gunslinger is born – into a harsh world of mystery and violence. Susan Delgado is dead. Clay Reynolds and the vestiges of the Big Coffin Hunters are in pursuit. The ka-tet fragments as evil abounds. It will be a long road home. With Roland seemingly lost inside the haunted world of Maerlyn’s Grapefruit, and the dark forces therein tugging at his soul, it will take all the courage of his ka-tet to get him out of Hambry and back home. But as the Dogan stirs, portending an evil of which Roland and his ka-tet have no ken, it may very well be that the gunslinger born walks a long road home to death. Collecting DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD HOME #1-5.

THE FACE THAT MUST DIE by Ramsey Campbell (signed limited edition hardcover)
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.
FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley (trade paperback edition)
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the world’s most notorious and widely read Gothic novel. It has also been heralded as both the first modern horror novel and the first science fiction novel. More important than either is the novel’s mythical status in society. The rich subtext of Frankenstein and the vast number of readings it can inspire have contributed to the novel’s continued success after nearly two hundred years.
This edition of Frankenstein uses Mary Shelley’s definitive 1831 text and incorporates several critical essays on Frankenstein, discussing its rich symbolism and place in world literature. There is also a valuable bibliography, Mary Shelley’s original introduction to the 1831 edition, Percy Shelley’s original preface, and more. This is the definitive edition of Frankenstein, perfect for the trade and indispensable for scholarly use. This is first in the affordably priced Millipede Press Gothic Novels series.

NEW STEPHEN KING BASEBALL NOVELLA UP FOR PRE-ORDER!
BLOCKADE BILLY by Stephen King (trade hardcover edition)
YES, we WILL have the extra baseball card with our copies!
Blockade Billy by Stephen King, an original, never-before-published novella that only the King of Horror could have dreamed up! Even die-hard baseball fans don’t know the true story of William Blakely, but in just a few weeks you’ll be holding this dark tale in your own two hands so you can read it for yourself.
That’s right! This exclusive trade hardcover edition is already rolling at the printer and will be arriving at our warehouse in mid-April. This beautiful hardcover edition also features stunning cover artwork by Glen Orbik and eight gorgeous pieces of interior artwork by Alex McVey.
About the Book: Even the most die-hard baseball fans don’t know the true story of William “Blockade Billy” Blakely. He may have been the greatest player the game has ever seen, but today no one remembers his name. He was the first — and only — player to have his existence completely removed from the record books. Even his team is long forgotten, barely a footnote in the game’s history.
Every effort was made to erase any evidence that William Blakely played professional baseball, and with good reason. Blockade Billy had a secret darker than any pill or injection that might cause a scandal in sports today. His secret was much, much worse… and only Stephen King, the most gifted storyteller of our age, can reveal the truth to the world, once and for all.
This original, never-before-published novella represents Stephen King at his very best, and this hardcover edition brings it into print for the very first time.
