New Releases from Deadite Press
Posted in Bizarro Books, Bizarro Fiction, horror on March 23, 2011 by carltonmellick
For the horror and dark bizarro fan, everything Deadite releases is a must-own. These three are no exceptions. From “Baby’s First Book of Seriously Fucked-up Shit” by Robert Devereaux, a master of bizarro and surreal horror, to the apocalyptic novella “Take the Long Way Home” by Brian Keene (which features me, Carlton Mellick III, as a character in the book… a crazed harbinger of the apocalypse), and “Carnal Surgery” by the king of gore, Edward Lee.
BABY’S FIRST BOOK OF SERIOUSLY FUCKED-UP SHIT
by Robert Devereaux
From an orgy between God, Satan, Adam and Eve to beauty pageants for fetuses. From a giant human-absorbing tongue to a place where God is in the eyes of the psychopathic. This is a party at the furthest limits of human decency and cruelty. Robert Devereaux is your host but watch out – he’s spiked the punch with drugs, sex, and dismemberment.
Deadite Press is proud to present ten stories of the strange, the gross, and the just plain fucked-up from one of the most original voices in horror – Robert Devereaux.

From one of the most notorious, controversial, and extreme voices in horror fiction comes a new collection of depravity and terror. Carnal Surgery collects eleven of Lee’s most sought after tales of sex and dismemberment.

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME
by Brian Keene
All across the world, people suddenly vanish in the blink of an eye. From their cars during the rush hour commute. From the shopping malls. Their homes. Their beds. Even from the arms of their loved ones. Airline pilots. World leaders. Teachers. Parents. Children.
Gone.
Steve, Charlie and Frank were just trying to get home when it happened. Now they find themselves left behind, and wishing they’d disappeared, too. Trapped in the ultimate traffic jam, they watch as civilization collapses, claiming the souls of those around them. God has called his faithful home, but the invitations for Steve, Charlie and Frank got lost. Now they must set off on foot through a nightmarish post-apocalyptic landscape in search of answers. In search of God. In search of their loved ones. And in search of home.
Deadite Press is proud to make Brian Keene’s long out-of-print critically-acclaimed Take The Long Way Home available to readers once again! Includes an introduction by New York Times-bestselling author John Skipp!

New Deadite Press Books Available!

Click the covers for more info.
These are must-reads for fans of hardcore horror. The Clickers series about monster crabs rampaging the countryside is a pulp horror masterpiece and is considered a cult classic at this point. Jack’s Magic Beans is a reprint of a rare novella from Brian Keene about 95% of the population becoming murderous crazies one day, set in a supermarket. And Urban Gothic is everything you want from a horror novel: a group of teens trapped in an abandoned house, fighting for survival against flesh-eating mutant underdwellers. This is horror the way it should be. Check them out. I trust all horror fans will dig them.

“Crab Town” out now
Posted in Bizarro Books, Bizarro Fiction on January 31, 2011 by carltonmellick
My new novella is now available. Check it out.
DESCRIPTION
Five desperate criminals are robbing one of the last remaining banks in Freedom City, a town devastated by the previous nuclear war. But these are no ordinary criminals. They are members of the House of Cards, an organization designed to help the less fortunate citizens of the city. In a place where the poor are separated from the rich, jobs are as scarce as clean water, and even the doctors are as corrupt as the politicians, the House of Cards are a final beacon of hope in an otherwise hopeless world.
Featuring: radiation fetishists, balloon people, mutant crabs, sail-bike road warriors, and a love affair between a woman and an H-Bomb. This is one mean asshole of a city.
Welcome to Crab Town.

Brian Keene & J. F. Gonzalez sign with Deadite Press
Posted in Bizarro Books, Fiction, horror, Publishing on January 26, 2011 by carltonmellick
If you haven’t heard the news on Monday, hardcore horror writers Brian Keene and J. F. Gonzalez have signed with Eraserhead Press’s cult horror imprint Deadite Press. The press will be re-releasing multiple books by these authors, starting with Urban Gothic by Brian Keene and the first two books of the Clickers series by J. F. Gonzales, Mark Williams, and Brian Keene.
Keene is not only one of the coolest fucking writers out there in horror, he has also been one of the biggest supporters of my work and bizarro fiction in general for the past decade, so I’m really excited to see him working with Deadite Press. As many of you know, I design all the covers for Deadite (including the ones pictured above) and with these upcoming releases I hope to give these writers the badass presentation their work rightly deserves.
For more information, go to Brian Keene’s blog at: http://www.briankeene.com

In 2011, Deadite Press is going to kick some serious ass.
