Bare Bones #3: Summer 2020

Brain-scorching review hyperbole! Pithy critical commentary! Big-name blurb mongering! Hardcore buy-or-die sales pitch hysteria! You'll find none of that in Seeing Red, David J. Schow's very first collection of short stories, back in print from Cimarron Street Books after twenty years. Seeing Red features the World Fantasy Award-winning story, "Red Light," the Twilight Zone Magazine prize-winner "Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You," plus eleven more tales as startling, as disturbing, as provocative and unnerving. Between these covers you'll also find an introduction by best-selling fantasist T.E.D. Klein, a bevy of original illustrations (including previously unpublished cover concepts by Thomas Canty for the 1990 paperback edition), relevant magazine covers, an all-new interview -- "Between Light & Shadow" -- in which DJS recalls the era during which most of these tales appeared, and an updated and expanded Afterword. Not to mention, and an all-new cover by Tim Bradstreet!

"The best original anthology of the 1980s." --The Scream Factory Cimarron Street Books is please to bring SILVER SCREAM back into print for the first time in over 30 years! Please take your seat for the midnight show ... They're all here from the heyday of splatterpunk, in the first and best anthology of cinema horror--the ultimate haunted theatre of the imagination, showcasing grindhouses, 3-for-1 fleapits, porn castles, werewolf-circuit drive-ins, snuff movies, peep shows, fly-by-night video rental shacks, has-been actors, never-was ingenues, Tinseltown burnouts, film cults, immortal stars, film school dorks, media mutants, and even that bastard little brother, television ... Edited by David J. Schow, with a Special Introduction by Tobe Hooper (Director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and featuring stories by: Mark Alan Arnold, Clive Barker, Robert Bloch, Steven R. Boyett, Edward Bryant, Ramsey Campbell, John M. Ford, Mick Garris, Ray Garton, Joe R. Lansdale, Richard Christian Matheson, Robert R. McCammon, Jay Sheckley, John Skipp, Craig Spector, Karl Edward Wagner, Chet Williamson, F. Paul Wilson and Douglas E. Winter! Here's what reviewers are saying about SILVER SCREAM: "Schow has assembled an exceptional anthology--exceptional, excellent, clever, tense and well done. Among the very best!" --Publisher's Weekly "It's one of the most entertaining, stimulating and absolutely justified theme anthologies in years." --Locus "Bound to fulfill you no matter what your leanings. Not a lame (story) in the bunch, demonstrating Schow's editorial eye is as sharp as his prose." --The Horror Show "Easily one of the best anthologies to come along in years." --Mystery Scene "This collection of movie-industry-related horror stories falls into the category of Things That, If They Did Not Exist, It Would Be Necessary to Invent ... if you're tired of the same old creaking-straircase horror fiction, and want some stories with some meat in them (and I use that term unhesitantly), this is the anthology for you." --Midnight Grafitti "A fine mixture of 20 stories put together in such a way that the entire book reads like an anthology film, right from the introduction by director Tobe Hooper to the end credits and final dedication. For his first time out as an editor, award-winning short story writer and novelist David J. Schow scores a direct bull's-eye with SILVER SCREAM." --Fangoria "One of the year's best anthologies." --Castle Rock
