The new novella Prisoner 489 by bestselling author Joe R. Lansdale (Cold in July, Hap & Leonard series, Edge of Dark Water) featuring original front cover artwork and eight interior illustrations by world-renowned artist Santiago Caruso is officially launching on Tuesday, November 18th 2014 in ebook, trade paperback and three signed limited edition hardcover formats. As one of our most anticipated books of the year, we encourage all customers to secure their signed limited edition hardcovers while in preorder as they are expected to sell out quickly. The signed hardcover editions will enter production as soon as Santiago finishes the interior illustrations for the book.
Description
On an island with a prison for the most evil and powerful criminals in the world, a new prisoner is strapped to the electric chair for execution. After multiple surges of electricity and nearly knocking out power to the entire island, the prisoner is finally dead. The staff buries him in the prison graveyard with a simple marker baring three numbers: 489.
After the body is buried, a violent storm rocks the islands and a staff member goes missing. The crew rushes into the storm, searching for their lost comrade. They find that the burial site of prisoner 489 has been unearthed, and the body that was inside has gone missing. With a horrific finding and strange noises around them, a powerful threat is closing in. It’s a threat that they thought was impossible, and it will force them into a battle for their lives.
"Veteran horror/thriller author Lansdale (Hot in December) tells a tight, spooky tale about what happens when an executed prisoner doesn’t stay dead."
