When their car broke down in a dangerous neighborhood of the inner city, Kerri and her friends thought they would find shelter in the old dark row house. They thought it was abandoned. They thought they would be safe there until morning. They were wrong on all counts. The residents of the row house live in the cellar and rarely come out in the light of day. They’re far worse than anything on the streets outside. And they don’t like intruders. Before the sun comes up, Kerri and her friends will fight for their very lives… though death is only part of their nightmare.

Five New Auctions Just Listed: Richard Laymon, Brian Keene, Ronald Kelley and More!

Take a look at the latest five listing at the Horror Mall auction site!

GHOUL by Brian Keene

June 1984. Timmy Graco is looking forward to summer vacation, taking it easy and hanging out with his buddies. Instead his summer will be filled with terror and a life-and-death battle against a nightmarish creature that few will believe even exists. Timmy learns that the person who’s been unearthing fresh graves in the cemetery isn’t a person at all. It’s a thing. And it’s after Timmy and his friends. If Timmy hopes to live to see September, he’ll have to escape the…GHOUL.

GHOST WALK by Brian keene

There are all kinds of legends about LeHorn’s Hollow. Everything from ghosts to a goat man are said to haunt the woods. So it’s the perfect place for Ken Ripple to set up his latest haunted attraction. Halloween is coming and Ripple knows folks will come from miles around to walk down the spooky trail and get scared witless. But there’s one thing Ripple hasn’t counted on. Those legends aren’t just talk. Evil really does wait in the woods. Soon the unsuspecting customers will pay their money and get in line…to die.

NIGHT IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER by Richard Laymon

Shortly after returning to college for the start of the Fall semester, Ed Logan learns that the girl he loves has found herself a new boyfriend and won’t be coming back to school. Heartbroken and restless, Ed strikes out late one night for a walk through town. He doesn’t much care where he’s going, but soon finds himself fascinated by what he discovers between midnight and dawn — frightened by the town’s lurking terrors, lured by its mysteries… and enthralled by a strange, beautiful girl who roams the lonely streets.

MIDNIGHT GRINDING by Ronald Kelly

It’s dark. Crickets chirp in the black of night, accompanied by the lonesome call of a whippoorwill. On the front porch of a ramshackle house, pale moonlight reveals two forms in rocking chairs, facing one another. Just you and the storyteller.

You are uneasy at first, a little nervous… but for what reason? After all, they are only tall tales and folklore passed down from generation to generation. Just a bunch of ghost stories and strange yarns conjured up for your entertainment. Or are they? Perhaps, in some dreadful way, they are based more in fact, than in fiction.

You sit there in silence for a long moment. You contemplate making an excuse and taking your leave. But it is too late. In hushed tones, the storyteller begins. The crickets grow disturbingly quiet and the whippoorwill is replaced by the far away howling of a dog. Or something vaguely – and sinisterly – similar.

Then the storytelling session begins. And the darkness about you grows even darker…

Great New Auctions Up At The Horror Mall Auction House!

Tananarive Due My Soul To Keep Delirium Ultra Edition

This auction is for one copy of My Soul To Keep by Tananarive Due Delirium Ultra Edition. This was the 8th and last Ultra edition published to date and exceeds even the quality of Delirium lettered editions. This is #12 of only 26 made. Both the book and the traycase are bound in that soft, luxurious Delirium leather in a rich red color. This is one of the best quality books I have ever seen and a great edition to any collection.

BONELAND by Jeffrey Thomas – LETTERED w/ metal traycase. NEW / MINT

BONELAND by Jeffery Thomas – LETTERED edition with metal traycase and “working” electric chair. Guaranteed as New / Mint condition.
From Bloodletting Press site:

This is Novella #1 of the Novella Series by Bloodletting Press

“In 1893, the Guests attempt their first contact with the human race. Families go mad. Parents commit suicide. A president is assassinated.

By 1918, in the bleak boneland of the 20th Century, human assassins commit atrocities and global wars are waged to sate the appetites of the Guests. John Board is a crime scene photographer, whose nightmarish images of human destruction are used as titillating entertainment. Board’s future is tied in with these unseen, unfathomable forces — and so is his past. America is drowning in a sea of blood as flashbulbs click and movie cameras roll. The Guests are here to stay.

Boneland is a tale of a not-so-alternate history…a story of horror, science fiction, and the surreal by Jeffrey Thomas, acclaimed author of Letters From Hades, Punktown and Monstrocity.”

Skin Medicine is a wild ride into the Dark Frontier. –author of Bad Juju

Discover the secret origins of the “drink of the gods” in this dark fantasy fable by best-selling author Brian Keene.

Chalco, a young Aztec boy, feels helpless as Spanish forces near his village in Oaxaca. But when a messenger of the gods (who just happens to be a tiny agave worm), hands him a key to unlock the doors of human perception and visit unseen worlds, Chalco journeys into a mystical labyrinth, searching for a way to defeat the invaders. He will face gods, devils, and things that are neither. But he will also learn that some doorways should never be opened and not all entrances have exits…

Each traycase and book have a real hand chiseled arrowhead inlaid in the boards. Each arrowhead is unique and only one good arrowhead is produced out of three attempts, and only stone hand tools were used in their making.

Imported, handmade, French marbled endpapers.

• John Shirley

This one is still a preorder but the publisher is sold out of these and we only have a few left to sell.  Don’t wait long or these will be gone!
This copy includes an original remarque by cover artist GAK.After nearly a decade of skewering politicians, corporations, organized religion, publishers, peers, enemies, friends, and often himself, Brian Keene’s extremely popular ‘Hail Saten’ finally came to an end in 2008. For almost ten years, Keene’s essays were a must-read for both fans and pros. Unfortunately, in a post 9/11 world, they also became a must read for the U. S. Government.

Spanning 2006 to 2008, Leader of the Banned: The Best of Hail Saten, Volume 4 collects the legendary final Hail Saten essays, covering torture porn, writing collaborations, the history of the horror genre, the future of the small press, the media, pop culture, the 2008 presidential race, the Stephen King phenomenon, and more. It also includes the incendiary “If I Were President”—the fateful entry that landed Keene on the government’s watch list. As an added bonus, it also includes many never-before-published essays, as well as material Keene wrote under a pseudonym that was previously unknown to the public—until now.
