Including two of Clive Barker’s classic stories from his groundbreaking collections Books of Blood, “The Body Politic” and “In the Flesh”, exclusive content from the cinematic adaptation of “The Body Politic” and detailed information on the “In the Flesh” film that never came to be, The Body Book will have award-winning filmmaker Mick Garris (Quicksilver Highway, Masters of Horror, The Stand) joining forces with Clive Barker in an effort to bring fans never-before-seen photos, writings, interviews and much more.

The signed limited editions of Clive Barker’s The Body Book are a one-time printing only and are expected to sell out in preorder fast. Wise Clive Barker fans would preorder their copy of the book as close as possible to launch day, November 10th 2015.

Dark Regions Press is offering a leather-bound deluxe hardcover edition of Simon Strantzas’s critically acclaimed horror and weird fiction collection: Burnt Black Suns. Simon Strantzas has continued his rise as one of the top short story writers in horror and weird fiction today with his excellent collection Burnt Black Suns. Previously only offered in ebook and paperback formats, Dark Regions Press is bringing the first signed limited edition of the book to Strantzas fans with a new afterword/story notes from the author, five new interior illustrations by artist Jethro Lentle based on the stories, the original cover painting by Santiago Caruso and more.

More on the new deluxe edition of Simon Strantzas’s critically acclaimed fourth collection of fiction can be found on the DarkRegions.com website where it is currently available for preorder with only 66 signed and numbered copies available: http://www.darkregions.com/books/new...pecial-edition

“With Burnt Black Suns, Strantzas continues a trajectory into deeper darkness . . . and in some respects the odyssey has brought him closer to the primal core of the tradition and its rawest, purest essentials.” -From Laird Barron’s foreword

“The stories of Simon Strantzas exemplify a style of horror that might be compared to the novellas of T. E. D. Klein.” -Thomas Ligotti

“Burnt Black Suns demonstrates Strantzas’s remarkable narrative skills, his unerring, feverish sense of pace, and his absolute willingness to hurl himself into the darkest ranges of his excellent imagination.” -Peter Straub

“In Burnt Black Suns Strantzas casts far into time and space to find the alien, and what comes back wriggling inside his net is ghastly.” -Adam Nevill

The publisher of this very special signed limited edition of the 25th anniversary edition of Summer of Night by Dan Simmons has allotted us just twenty copies for our customers. Payment plans are available for this item (monthly or bi-weekly).
  • Signed by Dan Simmons
    Limited to 500 signed and numbered copies worldwide
    Includes ten full-color original illustrations by David Palumbo
    Offset printed on 80# Finch paper
    Smyth sewn binding
    Features a wraparound dust jacket
    Housed in a slipcase

One of the signature horror novels of the 1990s, Dan Simmons’s magisterial Summer of Night is now twenty-five years old. In the course of that quarter century, it has firmly established itself as a classic of the genre, a book whose capacity to shock, amuse, move and horrify remains undiminished.

The story takes place in Elm Haven, Illinois in 1960 and begins at an iconic moment: the last day of school before the long summer vacation begins. But at Old Central School, soon due to close its doors forever, something ancient and implacable has begun to quicken, its hour come round at last. Soon, impossible figures, some of them long dead, are proliferating throughout Elm Haven, transforming what should be an idyllic summer into the crazed and bloody precursor to a new Dark Age.

MADHOUSE, a shared world psychological horror anthology from the publisher that brought you World War Cthulhu and Chiral Mad 3, is now available on both DarkRegions.com and Amazon. Edited by Brad C. Hodson and Benjamin Kane Ethridge, the entire anthology takes place in the same mental institution during the midst of a violent sandstorm: Golden Canyon Behavioral Health Center.

Each story in MADHOUSE is written by a different author but follows the same timeline of events and even references other stories within the book. The anthology is woven together with meta chapters and contains over 30 original full page interior illustrations by surrealist artist Aeron Alfrey. It marks the first release in the new Dark Regions Horror imprint.

For a full table of contents or a sneak peek at Aeron Alfrey’s nightmarish artwork, head over to DarkRegions.com to read more: http://www.darkregions.com/books/new-releases/madhouse

The Booking by Ramsey Campbell illustrated by Santiago Caruso NEW from Dark Regions Press: http://www.darkregions.com/books/new...amsey-campbell

The third entry in the ongoing Black Labyrinth imprint illustrated by Santiago Caruso and edited by Chris Morey (I AM THE ABYSS) is now available for preorder exclusively on DarkRegions.com.

Customers who preorder one of the three hardcover editions of the book through our website will have instant access to download the ebook in both EPUB and MOBI formats weeks before it's available to the public.

"As the dread builds, the effect is dizzying, claustrophobic, and very scary. Prescribing to his own rule of ‘avoiding what’s been done to death’, The Booking shows Campbell in top form with a strange and creepy tale that lingers long after the last page is turned." - This is Horror

Pugmire and Many More! The new books and multiple exclusives are available in their new Indiegogo campaign located at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/t...-regions-press

Calling all fans of science fiction and Lovecraftian horror: Dark Regions Press is releasing Return of the Old Ones: Apocalyptic Lovecraftian Horror edited by Brian M. Sammons, You, Human: An Anthology of Dark Science Fiction edited by Michael Bailey and The Children of Gla’aki: A Tribute to Ramsey Campbell’s Great Old One Edited by Brian M. Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass! Featuring fiction, poetry and artwork from some of the top names in the industry, all three titles are available in ebook, trade paperback and deluxe signed limited edition hardcover.



Return of the Old Ones: Apocalyptic Lovecraftian Horror Edited by Brian M. Sammons

Featuring all new stories of cosmic and Lovecraftian horror based pre, during and post the apocalypse by authors Jeffrey Thomas, Lucy A. Snyder, Tim Curran, Pete Rawlik, Sam Gafford, Christine Morgan, Cody Goodfellow and many more. Return of the Old Ones: Apocalyptic Lovecraftian Horror continues the Dark Regions Weird Fiction line with 19 original stories from some of the best authors in Lovecraftian horror and weird fiction today.

You, Human: An Anthology of Dark Science Fiction Edited by Michael Bailey

Bram Stoker Award winning editor Michael Bailey brings sci-fi back to Dark Regions Press with heart in this genre-bending anthology of dark science fiction and poetry: You, Human. With fiction illustrated beautifully throughout by world-renowned artist L.A.

The Children of Gla’aki: A Tribute to Ramsey Campbell’s Great Old One Edited by Brian M. Sammons & Glynn Owen Barrass

There is a lake in the Seven Valley, near a town called Brichester. It is an eerie, haunted place, both by day and by night. Night especially though, is a time when no one in their right mind would go anywhere near it, or those oddly deserted houses that stand, albeit barely, on the edge of the shore. But why? What is it that moves about in that lake, a thing that makes its presence known with three sinister glowing eyes that protrude from beneath the water?

Ramsey Campbell, Nick Mamatas, John Goodrich, Robert M. Price, Pete Rawlik, W.H. Pugmire, Edward Morris, Scott R. Jones, Thana Niveau, William Meikle, Orrin Grey, Tom Lynch, Konstantine Paradias, Josh Reynolds, Lee Clarke Zumpe, and Tim Waggoner, these are, The Children of Gla’aki.

Stretch goals are available to get this book fully color illustrated by Daniele Serra, illustrator of Dreams from the Witch House: Female Voices of Lovecraftian Horror.
