Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden recently finished a short story, "Mechanisms," for a new anthology of Hellraiser stories. Mike has done eight or nine very cool illustrations.
British
Invasion, a collection of twenty-one unforgettable stories
of horror and the dark fantastic edited by Christopher Golden,
Tim Lebbon, and James A. Moore, has been published by Cemetery Dance. Learn more.

Soulless is a darkly unpleasant story about spirits, life after death, priorities,
and zombies. It is an insidious, gruesome bit of work that differs
in several vital ways from most zombie stories. It's also an ensemble
piece. Soulless is now available as a trade paperback from MTV Books. Visit the Soulless website.
The Hiss of Escaping Air, a special chapbook novelette, was created and released by PS Publishing to mark Christopher Golden's appearance as Guest of Honour at Fantasycon 2008. This brand-new story has a limited print run of only 300 numbered copies. Each and every copy was signed by the author. The cover art was created by Wayne Blackhurst. Rich Horton has The Hiss of Escaping Air for his anthology Fantasy: The Best of the Year anthology. This is the first time any of his short fiction has been selected for one of these collections. Note: The original chapbook is still available from PS Publishing, and with the way the pound has dropped against the dollar, it's MUCH cheaper for US readers than it was upon publication back in the fall.
A new trade paperback edition of The
Ferryman with a brand new introduction by Charles de Lint has been released by Roc. What happens when a woman refuses to cross the river Styx with fabled ferryman Charon? Learn more about The Ferryman. Read the prologue.
When
Christopher Golden wrote a supernatural thriller called Poison
Ink, he hadn't seen or read The Sisterhood of the Traveling
Pants. Now, having viewed the film with his kids, he has
taken to saying that Poison
Ink is sort of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with EVIL.
Actually, the only similarity is that both involve a group of girls
of very different backgrounds and the way that a brush with magic
changes their relationships with one another. In Poison
Ink, that brush is decidedly darker and more permanent than
a funky pair of jeans. Poison
Ink is now available in trade paperback. Visit
the Poison Ink website.

Behind
The Veil, every captivating myth and fairy
tale is true, the vanished exist -- and every fear is founded. The

are at war. The
Myth Hunters, Book One of The Veil, and The
Borderkind, Book Two of The Veil, are available in trade paperback
and in mass market paperback. The

out the trade hardcover edition of Joe Hill's extraordinary short
story collection 20th Century Ghosts. Christopher Golden wrote the
introduction to the limited edition a couple of years ago, before
most people had heard of Joe, and now he can't wait for the rest
of the world to get their hands on this collection, which shows
so many facets of a brilliantly talented writer. Morrow has kept
Golden's introduction for the new trade edition. If you weren't
already planning to do so, you must check it out.
