DARREN SHAN September Newsletter Updates

Posted by Horror Fiction News Network on September 10, 2007 DARREN SHAN has posted his September newsletter detailing upcoming events and releases of his work. Welcome to the September edition of the Shanville Monthly!!! Although Blood Beast isn't officially released in the UK and Ireland until October 1st, it will go on sale a couple of days early at the Bath Festival, and a day early at Waterstones Bournemouth, so a lot of this month's news centres around its impending release!! I'm VERY excited about book 6 -- after the fifth book ended on a huge cliffhanger, I know lots of fans have been chomping at the bit to find out what happens next, and the air of secrecy around the book has stoked things up to fever pitch!!!! This month SHAN updates on his next book in the DEMONATA series as well as new covers for foreign translations. He also updates his UK book tour dates and places. Head on over to his site to read the entire September news letter. (http://www.darrenshan.com/monthly/index.html) Source: Darren Shan (http://www.darrenshan.com/monthly/index.html)

Kelner, MANY BLOODY RETURNS contains thirteen all new, never before published stories, each one offering a fresh take on the concept of what birthdays mean to the undead. Toni and I had some wonderful planning sessions about the theme for the anthology, writes Charlaine Harris in the introduction to the book. We decided to pick two apparently unrelated concepts Â?vampires (the dead) and birthdays (normally considered a celebration of life)Â?and see what different ways some very talented writers could combine the two. Contributors include: Charlaine Harris, Toni L.P. Kelner, Christopher Golden, Bill Crider, Kelley Armstrong, Jim Butcher, P.N. Elrod, Rachel Caine, Jeanne C. Stein, Tanya Huff, Carolyn Haines, Tate Hallaway, and Elaine Viets. Harris and Kelner were careful to choose an even balance of traditional mystery and traditional fantasy writers; the result is an outstanding anthology and a fantastic introduction for new readers to some of the best-known writers in the field (RT Book Reviews). MANY BLOODY RETURNS: Tales of Birthdays with Bite, edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner, will be published in hardcover by Ace Books on September 4, 2007 ($24.95/ISBN: 978-0-441-01522-1). # # # ABOUT THE EDITORS: Charlaine Harris writes the New York Times bestselling paranormal series featuring Sookie Stackhouse (the basis for the upcoming HBO series True Blood) and the New York Times bestselling mystery series featuring lightning-struck corpse locator Harper Connelly.
