Brian Keene News! Jonathan Janz Imprint! New Brett McBean and Ryan C Thomas

Hello all,

It has been a long while since I have sent out this newsletter. It feels good to have a both new releases and important upcoming titles to share.

Thunderstorm will be releasing several Brian Keene books this summer (and then Maelstrom 7 late in the year). The first one is The Lost Level. This book will go up for pre-order on Thursday June 2nd and I will stop taking orders on Sunday June 5th. After this short 72 hour pre-order window the book will be sold out. The book should be released in July.

THE LOST LEVEL : When modern-day occultist Aaron Pace discovers the secrets of inter-dimensional travel via a mystical pathway called The Labyrinth, he wastes no time in exploring a multitude of strange new worlds and alternate realities. But then, Aaron finds himself trapped in the most bizarre dimension of all — a place where dinosaurs coexist with giant robots, where cowboys fight reptilian lizard people, and where even the grass can kill you. This is a world populated by the missing and the disappeared, a world where myth is reality and where the extinct is reborn. Now, side-by-side with his new companions Kasheena and Bloop, Aaron must learn to navigate its dangers and survive long enough to escape… THE LOST LEVEL.

Thunderstorm Books is proud to present the only signed, limited collectible hardcover edition of Grand Master Award winner Brian Keene’s fan-favorite new series, a loving ode to lost world classics like Burroughs’s PELLUCIDAR, Howard’s ALMURIC, and Lansdale’s THE DRIVE-IN.

In April, Thunderstorm released the first book in the new Jonathan Janz imprint. I have only a few remaining. Click on the image for ordering details.

The Sorrows:

For movie music composers Ben Shadeland and Eddie Blaze, The Sorrows is an ideal place to find inspiration for the horror film they’re scoring. The remote island in the Pacific, with its lonely castle and ancient forest, offers seclusion and a ghastly history from which to draw.

But for Ben, Eddie, and the two young women who accompany them, the island will become a place of nightmare. It will draw from their fears and their darkest secrets. The visitors and everyone they love will be threatened. But that isn’t the worst.

Because the creature that rules the Sorrows is about to awaken.

In June, House of Skin, the second book will be released.

Also, two new titles have been released in our popular Black Voltage line.

The first is The Invasion by Brett McBean. This book sold out instantly. If you are interested in a copy, please check with your local book dealer.

The second is Hobbomock by Ryan C Thomas. Only 52 copies were produced and only a few copies remain. Get your order in soon. Click on the image for ordering details.

Hobbomock:

In the late 1800s, deep in the woods of a small New England town, something is called forth for the purposes of revenge and death. Something evil, something bloodthirsty, something unstoppable.

Now, what has lain dormant for over a century has been released on four unsuspecting teens trying to enjoy a quiet weekend alone. All they want to do is enjoy some movies and play some games. But their fun is cut short, and what starts as a series of strange and unsuspecting events soon turns into a bloodbath in which no one is safe.

Hunter, Josh, Gemma and Kailyn have only hours to figure out how to survive, because the Hobbomock is getting closer, and if it gets its hands on its quarry, the world will never be the same.

Subterrestrial
Michael McBride
Black Voltage #61. Limited to 56 copies. $85.

An accident during the construction of a tunnel under the Bering Sea leads to the discovery of evidence that hints at the survival of an unknown protohuman species. A team of experts is dispatched into the caverns in hopes of finding the primates before the unstable strata causes their extinction. Something else lurks in the darkness, though…a creature that’s evolved into a predator unlike any the world has ever known, and it’s up to the scientists to make sure that it never reaches the surface.

Baby Doll

Shane McKenzie

Black Voltage #60. Limited to 60 copies. $80.

Natasha is locked in her bedroom. That’s where she’s always been. Her cruel mother’s dark, ugly secret. But she couldn’t blame her mother. The pictures in the magazines showed her what pretty was supposed to look like, and the mirror in her room showed her what she was. A monster. But she wanted more. She wanted someone to hold her, someone to tell her how beautiful she was. She wanted to fall in love.

When she freed herself, stepped out into the world for the first time, she was met with more cruelty. Reminding her that she was too hideous, too grotesque, to ever be loved. So she ran away. To the woods, where monsters like her belonged.

That’s when she saw him. Hurt. In trouble. Running and scared. It was fate, she knew, that brought them together. Love at first sight. Her Prince Charming. And Natasha wouldn’t let anyone hurt him again.

She would decorate the world in blood and entrails to keep him safe. To keep them together.

And they would live happily ever after. Forever and ever.

Note: Baby Doll was published in paperback/ebook form as Monsters Don’t Cry by Deadite Press.

The Facility
Brandon Ford

Elemental #21. Limited to 60 copies. $30.

A picture-perfect life is shattered when Holly Vogel discovers her husband has crossed an unthinkable line—with their five-year-old daughter. She immediately takes the child and flees, closing all communication with a man now seen only as a monster.

Reeling, Holly wrestles with innumerable possibilities. She can’t bear the thought of putting her only child through a lengthy trial. And though he’s committed an unforgivable sin, she can’t escape the love she feels for the man once seen as her one and only.

Scouring the Internet for answers, she happens upon a website claiming to be the answer to all her prayers. A website created specifically for women in the same or similar situations. A website known only as … The Facility.
