7/22/09 Fresh Undead Line to Launch
It's fair to say that zombies have been a passion of ours for decades. We even started a blog initially based around zombies in creative media (The Dead Don't Die). We dipped our toes in publishing the undead with 2008's uber-affordable zombie chapbooks Flesh is Fleeting, Art is Forever! and Thin Them Out. Next year we're going full-length with the not-so-fully dead. This series of affordable trade paperbacks will kick off with two novels by fresh blood (details to come), followed by Kealan Patrick Burke's The Living. Watch for more news!
6/20/09 New Review of The Fever Kill
From W.D. Gagliani's review in Cemetery Dance #60: "Having just read Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men, I can honestly say that The Fever Kill puts me in the mind of that kind of book, and Piccirilli's writing is as fine, and maybe finer, than McCarthy's. The Fever Kill is just as deeply layered with moral ambiguities, just as peopled with characters trapped in orbits out of which they can't or won't break free. Riding along with Crease in his Mustang, revisiting old haunts, old grudges, old flames--none of which is the same, yet all of which is the same--evokes that same sense of desperation and inevitability all great noir writing aspires to. Piccirilli's horror credentials remain as an underlying current threaded between the traditional noir themes handled masterfully by a writer at the top of his game. Sardonic and sparse, there is simply no fat on these bones.... Perhaps the Coen Brothers should come calling."
Only a small handful of signed copies remain here at creepinghemlock.com. We're also offering imperfect copies for just $8.49.

Frayed by Tom Piccirilli and The Shallow End of the Pool by Adam-Troy Castro
In addition to The Fever Kill and the Stoker-finalist anthology Corpse Blossoms, you can now find two other Creeping Hemlock classics at your favorite online mega-bookstore. Frayed by Tom Piccirilli (FearZone.com's Best Novella of 2007) and The Shallow End of the Pool by Adam-Troy Castro (current Stoker finalist) are both in stock at Amazon.com.

6/5/09 Zombie Chapbook Excerpts

5/31/09 The Fever Kill Damaged Copies for Half Off
Tom Piccirilli's The Fever Kill, the ultimate in gritty, pugnacious literary fugues, is known for driving casual bookstore browsers and employees into a state of implacable rage, resulting in many copies being utterly destroyed but leaving many more just somewhat damaged. For fine reading at a frugal price, consider picking up a minimally damaged copy of The Fever Kill for only $8.49 (including domestic shipping).
5/8/09 The Fever Kill Signed Copies are Almost Gone
This crisp, gutsy neonoir is available everywhere as a gorgeous trade paperback. However, for those who their Awesome a l'Orange with a side of fresh-picked Scarcity, we've offered a small run of 200 signed copies at no additional cost to readers. The full-color signature sheet is a thing of beauty!
As of this date, a mere nine signed copies remain, and they are only available right here at creepinghemlock.com.
3/30/09 So, Heck Yeah, New Website!
This baby's been in the pipeline for some time, but we've been so tied up with more pressing projects that we were never able to bring it to completion. (As a matter of fact, as of this moment some pages are still under construction.) We hope you like it; let us know!
Countless thanks are due to my good friend Jay Fraser of LS.Media Design for his brilliant, endless contributions and mentoring.
3/23/09 Shallow End garners a Bram Stoker nomination!
We're delighted to announce that Adam-Troy Castro's superb (and utterly uncategorizable) novella The Shallow End of the Pool has officially been nominated for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction by the Horror Writers Association. To celebrate, we've lowered the price from $12.95 to an even $10 until the winner is announced at the Stokers in June. (Domestic shipping is free, as always!)
Watch this space for the award results. If the enthusiastic feedback we've gotten thus far is an accurate indicator, this novella stands a fine chance of becoming Creeping Hemlock's first Stoker winner!
Congratulations, Adam-Troy!
3/6/09 Children of the New Disorder is Here!
We could not be more pleased with this glorious book.
"Children of the New Disorder is a fascinating and eminently readable story of a dystopian post-apocalyptic future...a fine addition to anyone's collection."
Norman L. Rubenstein, FearZone.com
Details on the lettered edition are pending as we hunt down the best options and price. It's a recession, after all, if not a full-blown infertility/mutant-ridden apocalypse.
