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

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.

BAD MAGICK by Nate Southard & Steven Shrewsbury (Limited Edition)
New announcement from Cargo Cult Press!
With only 150 copies being produced this edition will go fast so order soon.
BAD MAGICK by Nate Southard & Steven Shrewsbury (Limited Edition)
In 1901, famed mystic Aleister Crowley passes through a barbaric land known as El Paso, Texas. There he meets a one-armed confederate and a Russian monk known as Rasputin. Together, these outcasts stand witness to the terrible things men can do in the name of civilization, things normally locked behind closed doors or hidden deep in the shadows.
When a band of militant Jesuits arrives in search of the prayer shawl of Mary, El Paso’s barbarism is eclipsed by religious brutality, but when a white buffalo appears, only Crowley and his new companions stand between mankind and oblivion.
“What do you get when you mix a shot of absinthe and a shot of Tennessee whiskey? That’d be BAD MAGICK, a tag-team novel by Steven Shrewsbury and Nate Southard. These two writers shake up a couple of mythic voices and slam them down hard. Which is another way of saying that the absinthe is Aleister Crowley, and the whiskey is a one-armed Civil War vet who’s also a walking arsenal, and together they make for one potent brew.”
Norman Partridge author of DARK HARVEST
CHERRY HILL Lettered Edition Is Now Up For Preorder
CHERRY HILL by James A. Moore: Volume I in the John Crowley series. (Lettered Edition Hardcover)
This is a leather bound and traycased edition signed by the author and is limited to only 26 copies.
This is volume I in the John Crowley series
Welcome to Cherry Hill. Attendance is mandatory.
The Cherry Hill Sanitarium isn’t a friendly place. The inmates are among the most mentally deranged and dangerous minds known to the world. It’s the sort of place that sane people would do well to avoid, if they value their lives.
John Doe is not a normal man. He can’t remember his name, nor much of his past. He’s almost certain he’s been dead for a while, and that the asylum that has become his residence is haunted by more than broken minds and twisted memories.
John isn’t wrong. Something dark is growing inside the walls of the asylum, something that festers and hungers to be free of its prison. That something has never lived before, but it wants to live now, even if it has to destroy everything it encounters to get its way.
John Doe might just be the only person in the world who can stop the madness that is trying to be born into the walls of Cherry Hill. He might be the only chance for the staff and the patients
alike. The problem isn’t simply that he can’t remember how to help them.
It’s worse than that. John Doe is almost certain that if he does remember his past, the knowledge could very well drive him mad.

HEADER 2 by Edward Lee (Lettered Edition)
There is nothing like a good header particularly when it’s by Edward Lee and it’s a Deluxe Edition!
HEADER 2 by Edwad Lee
Cover Art and Interior Illustrations by Glenn Chadbourne
“What’s a header?”
Fifteen years ago, Travis Clyde Tuckton asked that self-same question to his ancient grandfather, and the answer came in a rampage of twisted bloodlust, missing persons, and the most macabre and indescribable act of vengeance that human consciousness has ever devised…
Now, in those same desolate woods, amongst dilapidated shacks behind whose rickety doors no one dare look, something even worse has come to curse the land of simple folk, a jubilee of murderous perversity and sexual abomination too hideous to describe. Only the courage of Travis Tuckton could ever begin to set things back to rights but, lo, Travis and his grandfather are long dead….
Ah, but their relatives aren’t! And it will be these stout-hearted men who shall rise to the occasion of the most horrific revenge in the history of the backwoods — an eye for an eye, a head for a head! Not even unearthed graves, molested corpses, abducted tots, and an unspeakable human monstrosity can thwart the might of right. Join steadfast hayseeds Helton, Dumar, and Micky-Mack as they venture forth into a wretched mire of unadulterated horror, where the symbol of ultimate evil is not a psycho-killer, nor a demon, but the full-tilt rev of power tools screaming through the endless night…..
