New Release: SUBURBAN GOTHIC by Brian Keene and Bryan Smith
Two titans of modern horror-Brian Keene and Bryan Smith-team up for the terrifying crossover sequel to both Keene’s URBAN GOTHIC and Smith’s THE FREAKSHOW.
The Westgate Galleria Mall was once a sprawling, shining monument to American consumerism and suburban growth. Now, it is a crumbling reminder of how both have fallen-an architectural ghost, haunting the outskirts of society. That makes it the perfect filming location for a YouTube channel devoted to the exploration of abandoned places. But the mall isn’t as empty as it seems and the residents have sinister obscene plans for them. Now, with the daylight still hours away, both the hunters and the hunted will fight to stay alive…and desperately try to make it home.
SUBURBAN GOTHIC by Brian Keene and Bryan Smith-Home is where is the severed heart is…

BURN THA MOTHERFUCKA DOWN – Anthology Announcement
We are developing a project that we can’t keep quiet about any longer…
Here at Deadite Press in Portland, Oregon we are entering our 14th week of downtown protests for black lives and we have barely recovered from the shock of unidentified federal officers illegally abducting people off the streets in unmarked vans. Today is the 57th anniversary of the historic March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. And the image for this post is a photograph taken Monday night in Kenosha, Wisconsin at a protest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday. The fight for civil rights and equality in this country is far from over and this is the time for action.
To contribute to the cause and engage our community of creators and readers, I can share with you now that we are putting together an anthology of extreme horror stories about police brutality and systemic racism. In true Deadite Press style this anthology will be brutal and uncompromising. We have already reached out to many of our favorite horror writers and the responses have been inspiring! We will also be opening up for submissions soon.
The project is being edited by Andre Duza and Wrath James White. 100% of the net profits from this anthology will benefit NAACP Legal Defense Fund and The Equal Justice Initiative.
Here’s their official statement about the anthology:
BURN THA MOTHERFUCKA DOWN!
(Anti-fascism, Anti-racism, Extreme Horror tales of Justice, Anarchy, Revolution, and Revenge)
Edited by Andre Duza and Wrath James White
Systemic racism is hardwired into the US justice system. From police shootings and brutal beatings of unarmed black people, to mass incarceration and longer prison sentences for minorities and people of color, conviction of innocent men due to prosecutorial misconduct, laws that target minority communities with harsher sentences for marijuana and crack than for cocaine, designer drugs, and prescription opioids, anti-immigration laws that overwhelmingly target black and brown countries, bathroom bills and denial of healthcare for transpersons, the gay/ trans panic legal defense and the failure to prioritize and prosecute the murder of transwomen, it is clear the system is rigged against us. So, what is there left for us to do, but burn this motherfucker down!
100% of the net profits from this anthology will benefit NAACP Legal Defense Fund and The Equal Justice Initiative.
Burn Tha Motherfucka Down! will be published by Deadite Press in paperback and ebook formats with an anticipated release date in early 2021.
Stay tuned as things develop for information about how you can get involved!

Deadite Press in 2011
2010 was a great year for Deadite Press. After revamping our image, we released works by Edward Lee, Bryan Smith, Robert Devereaux, David Agranoff and Dave Brockie of GWAR. The books were met with acclaim from readers and critics. Finally, the horror too hardcore, strange, or outrageous for many publishers had found a home. This is the year in which Deadite Press will be maturing into a new, more dangerous monster. And to help that along we’ve got two new additions to the Deadite Press family:
Brian Keene – We couldn’t be more pleased to announce the joining of horror superstar Brian Keene. Starting this year, we will be reprinting almost all of his out of print books, and will be releasing new trade paperback and digital editions throughout the year, beginning with Urban Gothic and Jack’s Magic Beans in February, and A Gathering of Crows and Take the Long Way Home in March. Later in the year you can expect many more of his books to be reissued. Some of these new editions will be the “the author’s preferred edition” and will (such as in the case of The Rising) include material that was cut from the published versions because of mass market editorial concerns.
J. F. Gonzalez – Readers know him for his extreme horror tales that disturb and provoke. Deadite will be bringing most of his work back into print starting with the classic giant monster series Clickers (co-written with Mark Williams and Brian Keene) and his newest novel, The Corporation.
Plus Deadite Press will be publishing new works and reprinting rare out of print books by Edward Lee, Bryan Smith, Wrath James White, and Robert Devereaux.
Last year, Deadite Press took a steel pipe to your kneecaps. In 2011, it’s a full-on shotgun blast to the face!
