End of the Road - Still Shipping
The Cemetery Dance offices have many public faces — Richard Chizmar, Brian Freeman, and Mindy Jarusek among them. But there are other team members who the public is less familiar with, like Zach, who — because of social distancing — is all alone in the Cemetery Dance offices, wandering the warehouse like a ghost.
If you haven’t yet ordered my horror memoir, END OF THE ROAD, today is a good day to do so. Zach is on duty. He’ll process your order and ship your order. He’ll even include a free copy of John Urbancik’s ON THE ROAD WITH BRIAN KEENE at no additional charge.
Thank you Zach, for your efforts.

Earthworm Gods Now In Audiobook
For the first time ever, Brian Keene’s seminal novel EARTHWORM GODS is available in audiobook, narrated by Scott Weinberg! Currently available via Audbile (the Apple edition is forthcoming).
The Cult Classic Returns!
One day, it starts raining-and never stops. Global super-storms decimate the planet, eradicating most of mankind. Pockets of survivors gather on mountaintops, watching as the waters climb higher and higher. But as the tides rise, something else is rising, too.
Now, in the midst of an ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity face a new menace, in a battle that stretches from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea. What hope does an already-devastated mankind have against this new supernatural adversary.
The old gods are dead. Now is the time of the Earthworm Gods....
