OT: New Book Deal
« on: November 08, 2003, 06:20:15 PM »

Perhaps this will be of interest to some of you here: Delirium Books will be putting out a collection of stories from my old magazine, DEATHREALM, probably early next year, as a signed and limited edition hardcover. It will be called DEATHREALMS: Selections From the Land Where Horror Dwells. I've finished editing it and have turned it in to the publisher as of last night.

Stories include the following:

"Now You Know" by Donald Burleson
"Celeste, of the Chosen," by Douglas Clegg
"Embarrassment and Revenge" by Rick Kleffel
"Bloodbone" by D. F. Lewis
"Smoothpicks" by Elizabeth Massie
"Don't Clean the Aquarium" by Jeff Osier
"Bite of Conscience" by Hank Parnell
"Cool Mist" by Wilum Pugmire
"Blind and Blue" by Wayne Allen Sallee
"Numhed" by James Robert Smith
"Foreign Bodies" by Jeffrey Thomas
"Photos of a Leg" by Scott Thomas
"A Pinch of Snuff" by William R. Trotter
"Welcome to the Masque" by Jeff VanderMeer
"From My Reflection, Darkly" by David Niall Wilson
"On the Side of the Road" by Ken Wisman

Future volumes may follow, at the discretion of the publisher. I've been pitching this book for ages, both independently and through my agent. At long last, it looks like it's actually going to happen. DEATHREALM had a ten-year run, won numerous awards, and featured fiction by some of the most influential writers in the business. I'm hoping for more of these books to happen--and they may--both to showcase some of the best work from existing issues and possibly even run new short fiction.

The only downside is that Delirium Books caters largely to collectors, so the volumes, while beautifully packaged, are not the least bit inexpensive. However, if you're interested in checking them out, the Web site is www.deliriumbooks.com.

Congratulations, Mark....what excellent news!

To have nurtured a project like this over such a long time must bring a very satisfying sense of accomplishment. Here's hoping it's a roaring success!  ;)

psst...I feel sooo cheesy; times when I'm surfin' DS spots (specifically merchandise, etc)...I come across this author, Mark Rainey. How mortifying that I'm probably the only one here who hasn't known for long was a well-known cool dude posts here. Don't tell him, okay :-[ ::)
