"Veteran horror/thriller author Lansdale (Hot in December) tells a tight, spooky tale about what happens when an executed prisoner doesn’t stay dead." - Publishers Weekly

Description

Bestselling author Joe R. Lansdale (Cold in July, Hap and Leonard series, Bubba Ho-Tep) makes a return to horror with the dark and intense new novella Prisoner 489 fully illustrated by world-renowned artist Santiago Caruso.

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.

The latest project from award-winning specialty publisher Dark Regions Press is launching on Kickstarter in the Publishing category on Tuesday, August 25th 2015. I AM THE ABYSS is a fiction anthology of horror and dark fantasy featuring ten unique visions of the underworld by ten different authors.

Based on the concept that after we die our consciousness inverts into our own realms of subconscious thought, I AM THE ABYSS contains ten human minds whose journeys in the Birth World have come to an end. Each individual was a dark mind or tortured soul, each story a perilous yet enlightening adventure through a personal afterlife.

Featuring authors Laird Barron, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Michael Marshall Smith, Kealan Patrick Burke, Reggie Oliver, Steve Rasnic Tem, Jeffrey Thomas and more, each story is novella length and newly written for this project. Award-winning artist Les Edwards is creating an original two-page panoramic color painting for each story, giving us a window into each underworld.

Well, it is certainly going to be one of the nicer editions we've done (and $50 off retail price during the campaign). If it's easier for you we could split up the payment.

In case anyone missed it Cemetery Dance Online was nice enough to post this interview that Blu did with me about I AM THE ABYSS and other matters: http://cemeterydanceonline.com/2015/...into-the-abyss

Also I'm thrilled to say that I AM THE ABYSS now stands at 76% funded on Kickstarter! Here's the link to the campaign again for anyone who is interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...i-am-the-abyss

Thanks again to everyone for your support.

We are thrilled to announce that author Nicole Cushing (MR. SUICIDE, I AM THE NEW GOD) is under contract for a new novella in I AM THE ABYSS. As with the other ten original novellas within the book, Nicole's story will revolve around someone who has found the end of their Mortal Path and is navigating the depths of their personal abyss.

Various reviewers have described Nicole Cushing's work as "brutal", "cerebral", "taboo", "mind-bending" and "outré". She has been touted as "the literary love child of Jack Ketchum and Poppy Z. Brite". Her novella CHILDREN OF NO ONE was nominated for the 2013 Shirley Jackson Award. Her latest release is her debut novel MR. SUICIDE, published by Word Horde.
