A Note from the Publisher…

 We are pleased to announce that, in collaboration with Borderlands Press, Gauntlet will publish the first of what we hope will be several volumes of J.N. Williamson’s Masques.

 Here’s what Mort Castle has to say about the plans for the series:

“Scare me!” was the simple and powerful editorial guideline J. N. Williamson provided contributors to Masques, the acclaimed series of horror anthologies of the 1980s and ’90s. Legendary names such as Charles Beaumont, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, and Richard Matheson filled the table of contents and less familiar writers contributed as well, some finding their first important publications. Now, as Williamson requested before his death, his friends Mort Castle and Tracy Knight take up the editorial reins of Masques. The editors promise a mix of horror veterans, rising stars, and “surprise contributors.” “We’re honoring the ‘Scare Me!’ tradition and our friend Jerry Williamson’s memory,” the editors state, “with stories that creep and snake into readers’ minds—and stay there.”

The first book in the series will be published in 2017. We’ll provide more details as the book takes shape.

THE LATEST NEWS ON THE LATEST GAUNTLET PRESS TITLES

rambo2

David Morrell FIRST BLOOD: RAMBO II will be heading to the printer by the end of this week. If you’ve been putting off pre-ordering we suggest you place an order now, especially if you want a slipcase. (We order slipcases and traycases based on the number of pre-orders received). While we order some extra we received a flood of orders for FIRST BLOOD with the slipcase a month after the book was released. We were unable to fulfill some of those requests.

GreatSecret Show(sm)

We have begun layout on Clive Barker’s THE GREAT AND SECRET SHOW. As with all of our books we will be working closely with Clive’s office as regards placement of the 27 black and white illustrations he has provided along with tributes and commentaries that we’ve tentatively called introductions.

 We will only be ordering enough copies of ZOOPRAXIS to fill orders (plus another dozen of  the numbered edition and six of the lettered). This will be the only edition of this new collection by Matheson. We suggest you order your copy now before we provide numbers to our printer.
