Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales edited by Michael Merriam {Sam's Dot Publishing}
The stories in Northern Lights are representative of the diverse voices of the Minnesota Speculative Fiction Writers Group. There is fantasy of all kinds, a strong showing of science fiction, and just a smidge of horror tossed. Talking frogs, oriental dragons, lonely miners on distant outposts, werewolves, computer hackers, superheroes, dinosaurs, vengeful spirits, sentient houses, and more await you inside. Like MinnSpec as a group, this anthology features authors at different points in their careers, from those with multi-book deals in their pockets to writers who are just making their first sales.

Nyx: Mystere by Tyree Campbell {Sam's Dot Publishing}
A bomb-maker who calls himself Mystère has been destroying corporate admin buildings on various worlds, and Deven has cut short Nyx's vacation and ordered her to find him and kill him. She has little data to guide her, but encounters an amnesiac young woman dubbed Zinc at one of the blast sites. Zinc may possess information that could lead to Mystère, if only she can be made to remember. Meanwhile, an intrigue within Amphictyony Security has replaced Deven with a look-alike, and threatens to turn Blacklight Section against itself. Rogue agents have been dispatched to turn Nyx or kill her. Isolated, and under impossible orders, Nyx has few resources to marshal . . . until a surprise from her past shows up at her door.

Right to Life by Jack Ketchum {Gauntlet Press}
Jack Ketchum's novella RIGHT TO LIFE, originally published in 1999, is now one of the most sought after collectibles from any contemporary author. The Cemetery Dance edition is long sold out. Gauntlet has published a trade paperback of this novella (nominated in 1999 for the Bram Stoker "Best Novellete" award). Neal McPheeters' fabulous cover of RIGHT TO LIFE is shown here.
And oh yes. . . there's more. Jack Ketchum has written two NEW short stories specifically for this edition -- NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED. These are BRAVE GIRL and RETURNS. Even if you have the novella in hardcover, you will want to read these two great new stories.
Be fair warned... RIGHT TO LIFE is not for the faint at heart. It is the story of a woman, Sara Foster, three months pregnant, who is kidnapped in front of an abortion clinic. Her kidnappers somehow know every detail of her life, and inform her that she is now their slave. They graphically demonstrate to Sara what will happen if she chooses to disobey them. Having been brutalized and degraded beyond her most horrifying nightmares, Sara's captures then inform her of their plans. For both her AND her baby.
This story is based on fact.

Ladies' Night by Jack Ketchum {Gauntlet Press}
New York City. A hot summer evening.
A tanker on an unscheduled run lies like a huge cracked egg in the middle of Broadway, its unidentified spill spread wide across the street.
Its smell is cloyingly sweet. And it's everywhere.
Night now, and Tom Braun is sitting in his neighborhood bar.
His wife and his boy are at home in their apartment just a few blocks away.
He's had yet another fight with her and is looking to steady his nerves and drown his sorrows and maybe -- if he's lucky -- snag a little something on the side. It's happened before.
Earlier he'd witnessed a girl go suddenly and violently berserk at a rooftop party in his highrise apartment building. He'd assumed it was nothing but a bizarre isolated incident.
But the women in the bar are very strange tonight.

Hide and Seek by Jack Ketchum {Gauntlet Press}
Hide and Seek is a book about games. Reckless, dangerous games. Games you might even want to play yourself if you're with the right people. But shouldn't. Not ever...
Dead River's a sleepy little town on the coast of Maine without much going for it. The Great Depression hit hard and never let go. Even now, sixty-odd years later, there's not much to do, not much going on. So that when a trio of friends, rich college kids, arrive there on a forced march with their parents for summer vacation they have to make their own amusements. And they do, in spades.
Dan's a local and didn't get a chance to go to college. There was never the money. He works in a lumberyard hauling two-by-fours and furring around all day with a forklift. He's even more bored than he knows.
When the college kids arrive, that changes.
The most daring of the three is a beautiful, troubled girl name Casey. She's not opposed to stealing caviar or cars or running around naked in graveyards. For Casey the thrill's the thing and the riskier the better.
Dan falls for her, hard. And gradually becomes the fourth member of the group--the poor relation.
But the games need escalation. It's a need that finds them at last in an old abandoned house at night, a house reputed to be haunted, where phantom lights burn in broken windows. Where something lurks waiting in the dark...

Secret Vengeance: A Repairman Jack Novel by F. Paul Wilson {Gauntlet Press}
This title is a pre-order, and will ship in October
This is the final book in F. Paul Wilson's young adult trilogy. Those who have read the recent adult Repairman Jack novels will want to read this book as it foreshadows events that take place in Ground Zero and Fatal Error.
Weezy was attacked on a Saturday night...
The hottest guy in school thought she'd be easy, but she wasn't. And now he's spreading stories about her. Weezy may be the smartest girl at South Burlington Regional High, but she's emotionally fragile. Jack sees her starting to crack and decides he's got to act. His first impulse is to apply his baseball bat to the guy's knees, but no…in his inimitable way, Jack devises a punishment much worse than broken bones.
Along the road to vengeance, he learns secrets about Weird Walt, his father, and himself; he meets the mysterious Mr. Foster, has a run-in with Mr. Rozen's strange nephew, and falls in with some even stranger piney kids.
But the biggest surprise of all occurs when Jack's revenge scheme takes a shocking and unexpectedly deadly turn.
In F. Paul Wilson's third young adult novel, the teenage Jack demonstrates the devious skills that will serve him later in life as the urban mercenary known as Repairman Jack.

He Is Legend: An Anthology Celebrating Richard Matheson {Gauntlet Press}
Just say the name and the memories come flooding back -- Somewhere in Time, Duel, The Shrinking Man, I Am Legend, and countless more. He's one of the greatest storytellers of our time -- or any time.
Now Gauntlet Press has assembled He Is Legend: An Anthology Celebrating Richard Matheson, a spectacular anthology of original, never-before published stories by today's best writers -- stories set in Richard Matheson's own fictional universes, and published with Mr. Matheson's complete cooperation!
And, among the many contributions to the book, is the first collaboration ever between Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, the novella "Throttle" -- their take on Matheson's classic "Duel." This is, obviously, a once-in-a-lifetime publishing event, as it's father and son's first collaboration. Both Stephen King and Joe Hill will be signing both the numbered and lettered editions.
Other contributors to this anthology, edited by Christopher Conlon, include F. Paul Wilson, Joe Lansdale, Whitley Strieber, Richard Christian Matheson, William F. Nolan, Gary Braunbeck, Thomas Monteleone, John Shirley and an introduction by Ramsey Campbell (additional contributors will be announced at a later date).
And, as an added bonus, He Is Legend features the original full-length screenplay "Conjure Wife" -- over 20,000 never-before published words by Richard Matheson himself, in collaboration with the late Charles Beaumont that was filmed as "Burn, Witch Burn."
Only the unsigned first edition limited edition is still available.

Fatal Error: A Repairman Jack Novel by F. Paul Wilson {Gauntlet Press}
The 12th in Gauntlet's Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson. This is a signed limited edition.
Munir Habib’s life has become a nightmare. His American wife and son have been taken hostage and he must perform cruel acts of self-debasement to keep them alive. His tormentor, who seems to want nothing more than to humiliate him, has warned him not to report the kidnapping or his family will pay a terrible price. But a friend realizes something is terribly wrong and tells him he doesn’t have to go to the cops. There’s this guy who hires out to fix situations like this.
A guy known as Repairman Jack . . .
In his penultimate adventure, Jack is backed into helping Munir despite his ongoing involvement in the cosmic shadow war between the Ally and the Otherness. Or perhaps because of it. His nature is proactive, and he’s chafing at being forced into the defensive role of protecting the Lady. His instincts tell him to bring the fight to the enemy.
And then there’s Dawn Pickering and her strange pregnancy that’s lasting too long. She finally goes into labor and delivers…what? She catches a glimpse of the baby as it’s whisked away and is terrified by what she sees. Later she’s told the baby died of birth defects, but she doesn’t believe it. Neither does Jack. Neither does Weezy.
And then there’s the Septimus Order and the Kickers, seemingly working in concert to bring down the Internet. If they succeed, it will extinguish the Lady and open the way for the Otherness to take over our reality.
The threads from past novels join these events to weave a dark tapestry that spells doom for humanity.
