NECESSARY EVIL PRESS has announced its third book in their novellette series. PLACEHOLDERS by JOHN R. LITTLE will be published in two states; a 275 limited numbered soft cover edition and a 26 lettered limited edition with a metal traycase.
The book will include an introduction by TOM MONTELEONE and cover art by CANIGLIA.
From the Publisher:
For most of us death comes only once.
For Richard, that rule no longer applies. He has died hundreds of times over, taking the place of those in agony as well as those unaware, men and women alike, as they each meet their death.
Along this macabre passage through seeming immortality, he begins to suspect that these unrelated deaths cloak a personal mystery and discovers that the horror of the truth resides where death is no longer a safe refuge…Source: Necessary Evil Press (http://www.necessaryevilpress.com/ph_book.html)

Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has her hands full dealing with every sort of undead and paranormal creature imaginable. And after being betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Sookie must not only deal with a new man in her life-the shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with the long-planned vampire summit.
The summit is a tense situation. The vampire queen of Louisiana is in a precarious position, her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans. And there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

PS PUBLISHING has announced a new book line titled, PS SHOWCASE. The first book in the line will be Sanity and Other Delusions (http://www.pspublishing.co.uk/cat/s1saod.asp) by GARY FRY.
The idea is to put out a series of mini story-collections - priced as per our novellas at £10 / $20 (approx.) for the hardcover and £25 / $50 (approx.) for the signed, jacketed hardcover - from writers whom we believe are deserving of more attention.More from PS PUBLISHING on PS SHOWCASE
I'm particularly excited about this new venture because it ties in with one of my greatest loves: comic books. In 1956, DC Comics' Julius Schwartz started a new title called Showcase, and in that comic book he launched re-workings of characters such as The Flash and Green Lantern onto a world that had grown just a little bored with super heroes.
It was a huge success and those characters - plus many others launched in the title - went on to become mainstays of the comic book industry. We're hoping that, in our own small way, we may be able to do the same sort of thing with PS Showcase.
