Joining Forces with Bizarro Pulp Press

Proud and excited to announce that I’ll be releasing a new novella under the Bizarro Pulp Press banner in early 2017.

Bizarro Pulp Press and publisher Vincenzo Bilof have published many amazing writers, such as Laird Barron, Seb Doubinsky, MP Johnson, Chris Kelso, Rhys Hughes and so many others.

More details to come — but I’ll say this about the story: It’s a bloody Civil War drama in which some of the soldiers may or may not glow.

Teaming Up with JournalStone

I am incredibly thrilled, humbled and honored to announce that I will be teaming up with JournalStone (www.journalstone.com) – publisher of amazing writers such as Laird Barron, Jonathan Maberry and Christopher Golden, among others – to publish a new novella and my first-ever collection of stories.

The novella, FRAGILE DREAMS, will be released on November 18, 2016.

The COLLECTION (currently untitled) will encompass nearly 100,000 words of material, including many original stories, and will be released on March 10, 2017.

This is an exciting time for me and an exciting time for the horror genre. I’m both eager and eternally grateful to be working with publisher Christopher Payne to develop new stories and books for a long time to come.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all those who have read and supported me. There’s lots of good stuff coming… I look forward to showing you the new work.

I hope it gives you nightmares.

Announcing the eBook release of THE EGOTIST

In 1999, I published a literary novel called THE EGOTIST. In the decade that followed, I wrote two other literary novels, forming a loose triptych of character-based stories. My plan is to release all 3 novels, in eBook and paperback formats, over the next 6 months or so. Today I am releasing the kindle eBook of THE EGOTIST, available at the link below.

In the weeks to come I’ll be announcing a 2nd printing paperback of THE EGOTIST followed by the releases of DON’T LET THEM GET YOU DOWN and HAPPY HOLLY.


 


Please be aware that these are NOT horror / supernatural stories. They are literary, character-based novels that are much different than my current work and works in progress.


 

Thanks, as always, for your support. I hope you enjoy them.

Laird Barron’s fourth collection gathers a dozen stories set against the backdrops of the Alaskan wilderness, far-future dystopias, and Giallo-fueled nightmare vistas.

All hell breaks loose in a massive apartment complex when a modern day Jack the Ripper strikes under cover of a blizzard; a woman, famous for surviving a massacre, hits the road to flee the limelight and finds her misadventures have only begun; while tracking a missing B-movie actor, a team of man hunters crashes in the Yukon…

Coleridge Series to Putnam

One of my favorite writers in the world makes a major publishing announcement!

Laird Barron

My agent, Janet Reid, has sold a pair of my crime/noir novels to Sara Minnich at G.P. Putnam’s Sons. A big thank you to Janet and Sara, and extra special thanks to Jessica M for her help and inspiration.

The right editor is an important factor in a situation such as this and I’m lucky to have Sara Minnich in my corner–more on that next week.

Meanwhile, here’s a teaser about the Isaiah Coleridge series:

Isaiah Coleridge is a mob contract killer in Alaska. As you’d expect he’s pretty tough, seen a lot, dished out more.  But a walrus slaughter proves too much for him, and he puts a stop to it. Too bad the hunter shooting the walruses is a made guy. Isaiah finds himself in the kind of trouble that gets you a bullet behind the ear. That’s not the way it plays out, but only because…
