What’s left of a man when everything worth losing has already been lost?
Is vengeance worth any price?

Listen…
“This genre needs new blood and Steve Vernon is quite a transfusion.”
– Edward Lee, author of Minotauress, Gast and The Bighead.

Art that causes no reaction is not art at all.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that Random House has decided not to publish Sherry Jones’ debut novel. It goes on to say:
Random House has acknowledged pulling Sherry Jones’ debut novel, “The Jewel of Medina,” about Muhammad and his child bride, Aisha. The publisher, which had planned to release the book this month, said in a recent statement that “credible and unrelated sources” had warned that the book “could incite acts of violence by a small, radical segment.”
Who could resist a book with that kind of hype?
Again, I say:
Art that causes no reaction is not art at all.

The Huffington Post reports that “an old Jay McInerney novel featuring a party girl based on John Edwards’ future mistress, Rielle Hunter, is getting a fresh printing from its publisher.”
Not everyone is a fan of Stephenie Meyers.

Orpheus and the Pearl June Sale!
Orpheus and the Pearl by Bram Stoker Award-Winner Kim Paffenroth
Retail Price: $12.95
Sale Price: $11.00
Signed edition limited to 350 signed TPB copies.
“With Orpheus and the Pearl, Kim Paffenroth has stepped up to the plate left vacant by the late Ray Russell and hit one out of the park. Every element one expects to find in a traditional ‘gothic’ tale is present, but shown from a parallax view, keeping the reader guessing and anxious all the way to its surprisingly moving finale.”
–Gary A. Braunbeck, Bram Stoker Award Winning author of Coffin County and Mr. Hands.
“Kim Paffenroth is a breath of fresh air in modern horror. Orpheus and the Pearl is truly chilling, and I thank [Paffenroth] for reclaiming the great Gothic tradition. There are no cheap scares here, no blood and guts spilled for gore’s sake. This is terror at its best. Like Jean Rhys’ landmark novel Wide Sargasso Sea, Paffenroth’s tale reaches into the dark places to show us just how high of a price we have to pay to rescue the madwoman in the attic.”
–Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Peacekeepers
Orpheus and the Pearl Unsigned TPB
The majority of the unsigned copies were sent to reviewers, the author, Amazon, or set aside for Stoker-pimping. But we do have some available for sale.
Retail Price: $10.00
Sale Price $8.00
