#5 New Brian Keene book!
Hello everybody,
A new Brian Keene Lost Level book is right around the corner. This will have a very short pre-order period as it is scheduled to ship this month!
HOLE IN THE WORLD: PREQUEL TO THE LOST LEVEL
by Brian Keene
An hour ago, they were nineteen strangers on an airport shuttle, braving travel delays and a freak blizzard. Then they fell through a hole in the world. Now, they are nineteen strangers trapped in a dangerous dimension filled with prehistoric monsters, futuristic technology, and otherworldly mysteries. They’ll have to learn to work together if they want to survive and return home…but will any of them be left alive by then?
Thunderstorm Books is proud to present HOLE IN THE WORLD — a weird fantasy prequel to Brian Keene’s popular THE LOST LEVEL series.
#4 Jonathan Janz Shadow Side Series #10 Exorcist Falls up for pre-order.
Chicago is gripped by terror. The Sweet Sixteen Killer is brutally murdering young women, and the authorities are baffled.
When the police are called to an affluent home in the middle of the night, they learn that a seemingly normal fourteen-year-old boy has attacked his family. The boy exhibits signs of demonic possession, and even more troublingly, he knows too much about the Sweet Sixteen killings. Father Jason Crowder, a young priest assigned to the case, must marshal his courage in order to save the boy and the entire city from the forces of evil.
But this is a darkness mankind has never encountered before. It craves more than blood. And it won’t rest until it possesses Father Crowder’s soul.
This volume brings together the novella that started it all—Exorcist Road—and the full-length novel (Exorcist Falls) for a shattering experience in supernatural terror.
#3 We Came Back by Patrick Lacey
Welcome new subscribers! Each week I send out a brief newsletter consisting of new book announcements, general announcements, or status updates. Rather than multiple book announcements all coming out at once, this year I am spreading them out week to week and one at a time.
So for this week, I am proud to announce We Came Back by Patrick Lacey (Black Voltage #81). This book is in-route from the printer and should be shipping within the next 6-10 days.
Melvin Brown draws monsters in his notebook instead of paying attention in school. Everyone thinks he’s crazy, calls him names. When he commits suicide after years of bullying, his hatred of his tormentors does not die with him.
Ten years after his death, Lynnwood High School’s star students begin acting strangely. Dressing in black clothing, committing crimes, and spending a little too much time at the former high school where Melvin ended his life, now abandoned and, according to rumors, haunted. Are these students simply going through a phase or they becoming the cult every teacher is worried about?
#2 Jonathan Janz Shadow Side Wolf Land Annnouncement
I have had the pleasure of producing the Jonathan Janz Shadow Side series of books over the last couple of years. Jonathan’s imprint is going to total 11 books for the complete set. Four were completed in 2016. Four were completed in 2017. And now the last three are all in various stages of production and will be completed in early 2018.
The 9th book of the Shadow Side Series is WOLF LAND. This will be the first book released by Thunderstorm in 2018 and it should start shipping before the end of the month!

#1 Clickers Forever update
I figured the best update to kick off 2018 would be for Clickers Forever. This sold out book is now at the printer. The signature sheets, totaling 40 signatures across 5 different sheets illustrated by Chris Enterline, all finally made it back to me before the holidays. This was a long process that started way back in July. Specialty endsheets have been selected and ordered. Now it just boils down to waiting for the books to be printed, bound, and delivered. This will end up being Thunderstorm’s most ambitious project to-date…maybe even ever. Below is the fabulous cover artwork by Dave Kendall. Hannah Gonzalez provided the interior artwork…you’ll have to wait for the book to arrive in order to check those out.
Clickers Forever is expected to ship in February.
Here is the official book description:
