Lindemann’s ‘On Quiet Nights’ Released

Till Lindemann -- frontman from the German metal band Rammstein, also releasing a promisingly twisted new solo album this month -- has just published the English translation of his poetry collection, On Quiet Nights (aka In Stillen Nachten), through my favorite indie publisher, Raw Dog Screaming Press. I wrote the forward for this edition of the book, which I had the chance to read in original German as well as English. The poems make for a very unique read.

(It Really Is) The Best of Horror Library

PLAY DEAD Returns in Paperback — Preorder to Win a Rare Book!

This summer, Raw Dog Screaming Press is releasing my hard-to-find second novel, Play Dead, in paperback (and ebook) form for the very first time. PREORDER THE PAPERBACK and you're entered to win this rare special sculpture-bound edition... *** "Set in a neon-lit metropolis where desperation and moral corruption are commonplace and the difference between life and death is mere luck, this viciously realistic look into the not-so-glamorous world of high-stakes gambling (and the sinister individuals who exist in its shadows) is as utterly repellent as it is addictively readable. Gambling aficionados as well as horror, mystery and crime fiction fans…
