I love pocket-sized horror paperbacks, and collect them zealously.

I imagine there are a few others who share my fondness for a smaller-size book to take on the go, so it is with great pleasure that I announce the upcoming release of the pocket paperback edition of Screamscapes .

The cover art was inspired by what was likely the initial source of my desire to write weird tales of horror. When I was about eight years old and the closest thing I had read to a horror novel was THE VELVETEEN RABBIT (or possibly THE GIVING TREE, I still have nightmares about that one!), my dad and I used to sneak into the den around midnight on Saturday nights to tune in to black & white reruns of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

He had seen most of them when he was growing up, and laying there on the floor with me in front of the old console television he, too, would turn back into a kid. We'd fiddle with the rabbit-ear antenna until we picked up the signal from the local UHF station, which would sometimes fade in and out during the broadcast, interspersing the show with static-filled cryptic messages, possibly from the great beyond.

For my dad, rewatching the episodes with me was great fun. For me - especially after I was tucked in bed and cowering wide-eyed as the lights in the house went out one by one - they were slightly more terrifying.

Watching those spooky shows while my young mind was growing sleepy caused them to blend into my nightmares and settle into the dark corners of my psyche.

They never left.

I loved being scared to death by those shows, and this cover reminds me of the good times my dad and I spent scaring the pants off me as a kid.

The first edition of Screamscapes required the larger 6x9 format to ensure distribution across retailers like Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million, but I couldn't wait to make it available in the format I love the most.

Look for it later this month, September 2013, at fine retailers everywhere.
