THE RISING is the story of Jim Thurmond, a determined father battling his way across a post-apocalyptic zombie landscape, to find his young son. Accompanied by Martin, a preacher still holding to his faith, and Frankie, a recovering heroin addict with an indomitable will to survive, Jim travels from state to state and town to town, facing an endless onslaught of undead hordes, and the evils perpetrated by his fellow man.

This brand-new, author’s preferred edition, restores nearly 30,000 words of material that was cut from the original edition. These new chapters, which have never been seen by anyone before now, expand the original story, adding new depths to characters and more horrific situations.

PAGES TORN FROM A TRAVEL JOURNAL by Edward Lee

Pages Torn from a Travel JournalIt’s a hot day in Virginia during the Great Depression, when a bus breaks down on a lonely backwoods road. The passengers are told the repairs will take till tomorrow, so… What will they do tonight? Good fortune strikes! Just down the road, there’s a carnival! The last man off is a writer and sightseer from Rhode Island, a man named Howard Phillips Lovecraft…

O’SLAUGHNASSEY’S TRAVELING SHOW! RIDES! CONCESSIONS! ODDITIES OF NATURE! COME ONE, COME ALL!

A genuine mermaid! A living cadaver! A man with three eyes! There’s even a girl with hands for feet!

Howard knows that such “spectacles” are all too often frauds, but what Howard doesn’t realize is this: the carnival’s frolicky fun will quickly degrade into a waking nightmare of unspeakable carnal depravity and sick-in-the-head violence beyond anything he could ever conceive. And when he finally flees the wretched scene… Something awaits him a thousand times worse.

EARTHWORM GODS II: DELUGE by Brian Keene

Earthworm Gods II DelugeIn Brian Keene’s cult-classic, Earthworm Gods, global super-storms decimated the planet, eradicating most of mankind. In the midst of this ecological nightmare, the remnants of humanity fought against a supernatural menace in a war that ranged from the rooftops of submerged cities to the mountaintop islands jutting from the sea.

Now, the battle continues. As the last of the mountains sink beneath the waves, the survivors make a desperate final stand. But the worms aren’t the only enemy they face. The world-wide ocean is host to a legion of monsters, each more terrifying than the last, and mankind is vastly outnumbered by these new horrors. Adrift at sea and struggling to stay alive, the surviving members of the human race cling to a thin strand of hope. But their possible salvation may be worse than their looming extinction…

Earthworm Gods II: Deluge – This is how the world ends.

BIGFOOT CRANK STOMP by Erik Williams

Bigfoot Crank Stomp“This book gives new meaning to the word OUTRAGEOUS! It’s so totally off-the-wall while at the same time so unputdownable that it blew my creative doors off. The whole time I was reading it I was PISSED that I hadn’t thought of it.”

–EDWARD LEE, author of HAUNTER OF THE THRESHOLD and HEADER

Bigfoot is real and he’s addicted to meth!

It should have been so easy. Get in, kill everyone, and take all the money and drugs. That was Russell and Mickey’s plan.

Nothing can stop a sasquatch on a drug-fueled rampage. And before the sun rises, there is going to be a lot of dead cops and junkies.

With a psychopath and a hostage keeping a gutshot redneck company in the back seat, Danny soon finds himself with no choice but to hole up in an abandoned factory, the former home of Red Sky Manufacturing.

Surrounded by nothing and no one, Danny thinks he may have finally found some breathing room, a chance to think and to plan. Danny and his crew aren’t the only living things in Red Sky, though. Something waits in the abandoned factory’s shadows, something horrible and violent. Something hungry.

And when the sun drops, it will feast.

HEADER by Edward Lee

headerWhat is a Header?

In the dark backwoods, where law enforcement doesn’t dare tread, there exists a special type of revenge. Something so awful that it is only whispered about. Something so terrible that few believe it is real.

Stewart Cummings is a government agent whose life is going to Hell. His wife is ill and to pay for her medication he turns to bootlegging. But things will get much worse when bodies begin showing up in his sleepy small town. Victims of an act known only as “a Header.”

Deadite Press is proud to bring back the notorious inspiration for the hit cult film – a splatterspunk classic of twisted sex, booze, and revenge.

HEADER is the seminal work of hardcore horror by which all other works are judged. Required reading for fans of Edward Lee and absolutely essential reading for any true horror fan. One of my favorites.
– BRIAN KEENE,  author of URBAN GOTHIC and CASTAWAYS

Edward Lee holds a very special place in modern horror. He can and will gross you out or tweak your sex drive if he damn well feels like it — and he often does — Lee likes sex and guts and he’s not ashamed about it. He can out-splatter the most over-the-top splatterpunks, drive a story like a racehorse and he knows how to scare the hell out of you. But he can also slow you way down if he wants to and make you feel and think. And that’s what makes him unique”.
– JACK KETCHUM, award-winning author of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR and THE LOST

In the aftermath of a devastating tsunami and a series of undersea earthquakes, hordes of Clickers swarm onto the California coastline, slaughtering everything in their path. As the attacks spread to other parts of the world, humanity fights back, unaware that a second foe is about to emerge – Ob, the leader of a supernatural race of beings known as the Siqqusim, who have the ability to possess and reanimate the dead.

Now, Earth faces an invasion from not one, but two enemies – the mindless and hungry Clickers, and the evil and equally ravenous zombies. Both groups have only one goal in mind – the total extermination of the human race. But what happens when these two forces meet…

On the outskirts of Ransom, TN is an abandoned, boarded-up house. Something evil happened there long ago. The evil has been contained there ever since, locked down tight in the basement—until the night The Dark Ones set it free . . .
