Only 1 Week Left For Samhain Horror

Ho ho  ho, Hellions! Still recovering from a holiday with the family? Or is Uncle Bill with irritable bowel syndrome still living in your guest room?


Oh, the horror! And now that we’re on that subject, Samhain horror is about to say bye-bye forever. When the ball drops on New Year’s Eve, the dozens of great books they published over the past 5 years disappear. Poof! Some may find homes with new publishers, but a lot may never be seen again.

So, if you got some cash or gift cards this year, why not spend a few bucks on some Samhain titles before they go the way of the Dodo? Then you never need to say goodbye to books by outstanding authors like Jonathan Janz, Brian Moreland, Russell James, Catherine Cavendish, Ron Malfi, Tim Waggoner, Glenn Rolfe, David Bernstein, Alan Spencer, Frazier Lee, Megan Hart, Kristopher Rufty  and so many more?


I was fortunate enough to publish 6 novels and 3 novellas with Samhain and the greatest horror editor of all time, Don D’Auria. I can tell you now that some of my titles will find new homes and new incarnations, but others may go out of print for good. I’m still talking to publishers and deciding what to do. Odds are, even the ones that will resurrect won’t be available for quite some time. I invite you to hop on over to my Amazon Author Page and take a gander and see which titles you’d like to grab before there ain’t no more to grab.


This is a great week to curl up with a good book and take a well deserved break. I hope you choose a Samhain horror book to be your post-holiday buddy.


For those who rode along with us during this 5 year journey, what were some of your favorite books and authors? I just may reward random people who post their favorites with some free Samhain ebooks. Here’s to hitting new heights in 2017!

TJ Samhain's demise is truly a loss for all horror fans. The publisher could be counted on to regularly seek out new talent in the genre' and get them off to a solid start. Personally, I got to discover a number of authors who have become some of my favorites just by grabbing a Samhain novel off the shelves of my local bookstore.

My favorite Samhain books are (in no particular order) are: Night Show by Richard Laymon, Jonathan Janz's Savage Species series and Dust Devils, The Lamplighters by Frazer Lee, The Dover Demon and Swamp Monster Massacre by Hunter Shea, Shadows in the Mist by Brian Moreland and Prank Night by Kristopher Rufty.

RIP Samhain and thanks for providing readers with a number of great books during your time.

Hunter Shea It was a great ride. The good news is that all of those authors are moving on to bigger and better publishers. :)

J.H. Moncrieff Sad times. I hope all those books find new homes.

That said, I'm so grateful I was a part of the Samhain crew, however briefly. I couldn't ask for a better group to be a part of.
