Ob, Lord of the Siqqusim? Brian Keene's SPLINTERED: THE LABYRINTH Book 3 The End continues, and this is the last dance...

Out-of-print for over a decade, Brian Keene's third non-fiction collection is available once again for a new generation of readers. THE NEW FEAR is an unvarnished, no-holds-barred story of a writer at the height of his fame, and the inevitable burn-out that soon follows. It is also a chronicle of a pre-social media internet, and what horror fiction, politics, entertainment, celebrity, and writing were like at that specific moment in time. Featuring such classics as "Zombie Manilow", "Of Dragonflies and Other Spies" (originally censored by the U.S. govrnment), and the epic "Five Hundred Words in Five Days" saga, as well as the origins of the novel Ghoul, a cross-country book tour gone terribly awry, writing advice, social commentary, and guest appearances by J.F. Gonzalez, Dave Thomas, and others, THE NEW FEAR is equally heartbreaking and hilarious. THE NEW FEAR: THE BEST OF HAIL SATEN Vol. 3 - The only thing we have to fear is... everything.

A broken, beaten, and burned-out horror novelist struggles to emerge from the aftermath of two years of personal and professional upheaval. Corrupt publishers, a global economic collapse, an industry in flux, a divorce, and a heart attack have left him unsure of everything, including - for the first time - himself. Courting a death wish and desperate for renewal and reinvention, the writer looks to Hollywood for safe harbor. But when this possible salvation turns into potential damnation, the author and his friends may have to go to war against an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered. In this metafictional memoir, hailed by critics as "simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming" and "a book of unvarnished beauty" Brian Keene reveals what it's really like to write for a living, and how easy it is for an author to lose their soul...

"My name is Brian Keene. I'm a writer by trade and a road warrior by heart. Neither of these things are wise career or life choices. The tolls add up.Over the last twenty years, things have changed. Book tours have changed, publishing has changed, bookselling has changed, conventions have changed, horror fiction-and the horror genre-have changed. I've changed, too.The only things that haven't changed are writing and the road. They stay the same. The words we type today are the past tomorrow. Everything is connected like the highways on a map are connected. This holds true for the history of our genre, as well.I rode into town twenty years ago. Now I'm riding out. You're all coming with me..."So begins Brian Keene's End of the Road-a memoir, travelogue, and post-Danse Macabre examination of modern horror fiction, the people who write it, and the world they live-and die-in.

For over two decades, fans of Brian Keene's cult-classic novel Terminal have heard rumors of an uncut version that was never published. Now, for the first time anywhere, here is that version, as the author originally intended.Tommy O'Brien once hoped to leave his run-down industrial hometown. But marriage and fatherhood have kept him running in place, working a job that doesn't even pay the bills. And now he seems fated to stay for the rest of his life. Tommy has just learned he's going to die young - and soon. But he refuses to leave his family with less than nothing-especially now that he has nothing to lose. Over a couple of beers with his best friends, John and Sherm, Tommy launches a bold scheme to provide for his family's future. And though his plan will spin shockingly out of control, it will throw him together with a child whose touch can heal - and whose ultimate lesson is that there are far worse things than dying. Now, one man's war with God may impact us all."A powerful, unique novel with a fascinating plot and characters, and echoes of Stephen King's working-class voice." - Ed Gorman""If Brian Keene's books were music, they would occupy a working class, hard-earned space between Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, and Johnny Cash." - John Skipp
