SIGNINGS AND SUCH:
HorrorHound, Barnes & Noble, Writers Chatroom
LAST MONTH, I had a blast hanging out with my fellow Samhain authors (Jonathan Janz, Russell R. James, Kristopher Rufty, Mick Ridgewell, Brian Moreland and David Searls) at the HorrorHound convention in Indianapolis. I also had the chance to talk with
Barry Bostwick (pictured at right - click the photo to see a larger version) and
Danielle Harris (from the
Halloween movies). I also met a bunch of horror fans at the con, some of whom are now on this e-newsletter list (
Hi guys!) You can see more about the con and a bunch of pictures on my blog
here.
This month, I'll be celebrating Halloween with authors
W.D. Gagliani, Christian Larsen and more at the Barnes & Noble in Racine, WI. The "Horrorfest" will run all afternoon. See info on the
B&N Southland Center site.
A week later, on Sunday night, I'll be the guest author at the
WritersChatroom.com. Everyone is welcome to drop in and chat, so stop by!
WHAT DO THESE ALL HAVE IN COMMON?
Covenant, Sacrifice, The 13th and Siren
THEY ARE ALL my novels, sure! But they are also on sale this month on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Amazon.com has
Covenant, Sacrifice, The 13th and
Siren for sale for just $0.99 in e-book. I have no idea how long they're staying that way, so download fast.
Meanwhile, Amazon.co.uk has put
Covenant, Sacrifice and
The 13th on their "Terrifying Tales" promotion for £1.00 Thanks to the UK sale,
Covenant has been in the Top 5 Horror sellers in the UK all weekend! So pick these up cheap for your e-reader, if you don't have copies already!
GETTING IT HARD:
Hardcover edition of NightWhere will be out around Halloween!
IT'S BEEN IN the works for awhile, but Bad Moon Books will finally be releasing a limited 100-copy special signed hardcover edition of my sixth novel
NightWhere at the end of the month. I'll be in contact with anyone who ordered a copy directly through me in a couple weeks to get payment, mailing address, etc.
If you haven't ordered a copy and want to grab one from Bad Moon, check out
this link now. I believe there are still a few numbered copies available to order.

OLD IS NEW AGAIN:
Cage of Bones reissued in trade paperback!
I HAVE ALWAYS felt bad that
Cage of Bones & Other Deadly Obsessions never came out in a paperback version when it was originally released. It was my very first book, and appeared in a limited hardcover edition back in 2000 from Delirium Books. At one point, since there were only 300 copies made, there were some copies that were resold on eBay for $150! Eventually, the collection did get a stripped down e-book release from the publisher, but that version was missing content from the original hardcover.
This summer, I got the rights back to
Cage of Bones, and reissued the e-book (reinstating all the original story introductions) through Dark Arts Books. And last month, the first trade paperback edition was finally released, 13 years after the original publication! I still think this collection has some of my best erotic horror tales, including "Pumpkin Head," "Anniversary," "Direkit Seed," "Cage of Bones" and "Every Last Drop" so I'm hoping a new audience will discover it! If you want a copy, grab one from:
Anyone who orders from Dark Arts Books can have their copy autographed if you like (because I'll be the guy shipping it out!)
It's Pumpkin Time....
October is a favorite time of year for all horror fans. Time to celebrate the spooky! If you're looking for some free fiction or some creepy fun, stop by my micro site for the
Pumpkin Man novel and read the prologue of that book, or the
original story that inspired the novel, or my perennial favorite
"Pumpkin Head." All of those stories are free on
www.thepumpkinman-horror.com.
You can also use the online
Ouija board to talk to the Pumpkin Man - ask him if he's going to come for you this Halloween, I dare ya!
Trick or Treat!
Yours in Dark Arts,
John
