May titles up for sale! New announcements!!! Extremely limited quantities remain. Bryan Smith, Mike Lombardo, Chad Lutzke, Greg Gifune, Sandy Deluca, Kristopher Rufty!
Hello all,
A bit of a different type of newsletter this time around. Typically, I just stick to the book announcements and save the rest. Sometimes I share direct, or on social media, or via the clubhouse, and sometimes, not at all.
Before we get started, I wanted to express my congratulations to Brian Keene and Mary SanGiovanni. I wish you a very long and happy life together. I am so proud to know the both of you.
And now to the book announcements. There are two remaining May titles and they are currently shipping. I am down to my last couple of copies, they are going to sell out quickly. If they sell out via Thunderstorm before you can claim your copy, check with online booksellers.
PLEASE DON’T TAP ON THE GLASS
by Mike Lombardo
This edition will be signed by Mike Lombardo, Brian Keene, and Edward Lee.
Eleven stories of grief, existential dread, extreme horror, and gross out comedy.
After discovering a tape he’s never heard of at a video store closing sale, a VHS collector discovers that sometimes nostalgia comes at a terrible price in Dead Format.
In Weekend at Escobar’s, a man finds himself smuggling drugs across the border stuffed inside the corpse of a cartel boss he’s trying to pass off as living.
An eighteen-year-old virgin’s first trip to the porn store goes horribly awry in Just Like the Real Thing.
With supplies and hope dwindling as they struggle to survive in a fallout shelter, a mother gives her son one last Christmas in the original short story that inspired the award-winning film, I’m Dreaming of a White Doomsday.
These and more await as you are invited to gaze into the depths of the twisted mind of filmmaker Mike Lombardo, just be careful you don’t tap on the glass, you might not like what you stir up…
“Already an accomplished filmmaker, Mike Lombardo now flexes more aesthetic muscles as a horror writer by delivering this unexpected hard-wallop of a collection. These stories are expertly written studies of all the components that make modern horror tick: chunk-blower gross-out, psycho-sexual fantasy, laugh-out-loud comedy, and poignant examinations of grief.”
–Edward Lee, author of OUIJA PIG and THE BIGHEAD
“An entertaining collection of heartfelt horror and gross-out fun that showcases the full range of Mike Lombardo’s depraved imagination.” – Samantha Kolesnik, author of True Crime and Waif
DEAD END HOUSE
by Bryan Smith
The abandoned house at the end of Millhaven Road stands on blighted and barren ground, as if nature itself shuns this tainted place. It is known simply as DEAD END HOUSE, and unspeakably terrible things happened there long ago. Murder, torture, mutilations, cannibalism, and necrophilia. Vile deeds spawning an enduring legend of horror.
But DEAD END HOUSE only looks abandoned. Behind its blacked-out windows and crumbling facade, the evil endures. So step up to the front door and knock if you dare. Crazy Calvin and his lunatic sister have been sharpening their knives and are eager to see you.
In addition to regular May titles, I recently released some titles under my new Screaming Cacti lettered banner. These books are quarter bound in leather/cloth and limited to just 26 copies. I only have a copy or two of each left and they are sold out. Click on the cover to get your copy.
As many of you know, I had surgery last month. Working through all the tasks of publishing while in pain, or while being a bit depressed, or during episodes of extreme frustration has been challenging. In some ways, I am happy that Thunderstorm didn’t just stop at a standstill. But in other ways, I realize that many things fell through the cracks, and I should had a better game-plan going in. The good news is that within the next couple of weeks, I should be back to 100%. And I have some exciting book announcements coming in June.
