Dorchester Publishing’s August Horror Releases

Posted by Peter Schwotzer in Books, Terror Tales with Peter D. Schwotzer on January 1st, 2009

July is upon us, though to those of us in New England it seems like we are still stuck in April. The rain has been incessant while the sun seems to have grown a bit shy this year.

Nonetheless, now is the time to put your thoughts ahead to what you plan on reading in August. Well friends, I have good news for you. I just happen to have links and descriptions for Dorchester Publishing’s August horror releases.

You are in luck, two of horror’s brightest stars are releasing new books in August. I have read both books and I can guarantee that they will bring a little darkness into your sunny summer. Well, I can’t guarantee that the rest of the summer will be sunny, but these are two very scary books.

So stop everything you are doing, follow the links and pre-order these fabulous books today. That is an order.

Urban Gothic by Brian Keene

“When their car broke down in a dangerous neighborhood of the inner city, Kerri and her friends thought they would find shelter in the old dark row house. They thought it was abandoned. They thought they would be safe there until morning. They were wrong on all counts. The residents of the row house live in the cellar and rarely come out in the light of day. They’re far worse than anything on the streets outside. And they don’t like intruders. Before the sun comes up, Kerri and her friends will fight for their very lives…though death is only part of their nightmare.”

Far Dark Fields by Gary A. Braunbeck

“More than three decades ago high-school senior Andy Leonard snapped. When he stopped shooting, thirty-two people were dead. But not little Geoff Conover. Andy spared Geoff for reasons no one ever knew. Now, all these years later, tragedy has struck again. Bruce Dyson too has gone on a murder spree, leaving nine dead in his wake. Even though they never met, there’s only one person Dyson will speak to—Geoff Conover. And what he tells Geoff will shake him to his core. With one word, Dyson will reveal that he knows the dark truth behind the legendary bogeyman used to terrify local children for years, the deformed creature known as Hoopsticks…and the final, shocking secret of Cedar Hill, Ohio.”
