It won’t be on sale until June 17, but we couldn’t wait to share this! One of the great horror novels of the late 20th century, Michael McDowell’s THE ELEMENTALS (1981), a haunted house story unlike any you’ve ever read, reprinted for the first time ever, featuring a new introduction by award-winning horror author Michael Rowe and stunning cover art by M.S. Corley. McDowell is best known for his screenplays for Tim Burton films but is now being rediscovered as a master of Southern Gothic literature. You won’t want to miss this one!

Nightbreed by Tony Harris

And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
     So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.

Kurt Vonnegut, from Slaughterhouse-Five
