J.F. Gonzalez Production Update
J.F. Gonzalez's THE SUMMONING AND OTHER ELDRITCH TALES - which collected his Lovecraftian fiction, including a collaboration with the also departed Mike Baker - has been long out-of-print. The new edition is in production now.
This will be followed (in fairly short order) by a new edition of FETISH, and then a new edition of VOYEUR (which Jesus wrote under the pseudonym Angel Garcia). Thanks to Kealan Patrick Burke and Robert Swartwood for their assistance and hard work in these efforts.
Finally, Deadite Press will release a new edition of SHAPESHIFTER later this year.

Halldark Holidays
The holidays are a time for romance, sentimental longing for a simpler time…and MONSTERS! Editor Gabino Iglesias brings you 22 stories from the hearts and absolutely twisted minds of some of horror’s finest. Right from the get-go this book slays. Greg Sisco’s “The Morbs” is like “The Lottery”, but more screwed-up. Brian Keene delivers as always with “The Hatching” and Gabino swears you might shed a tear by the time you reach Todd Robinson’s “Mother and Child”. Clara Madrigano, Cynthia Pelayo, Bev Vincent, Alan Baxter, Gina Ranalli, Kelly J. Ford, Mark Allan Gunnells are absolute killers in the genre.
