In news, just a few tidbits:
To start with, Cemetery Dance recently announced two new titles by Ronald Kelly, marking his triumphant return to the top of the horror genre. First is “Hell Hollow”, his first original novel in thirteen years:
The rural town of Harmony, Tennessee possessed a disturbing secret—a secret so ancient that most of its residents were completely unaware of it. Even the last survivors of a vigilante raid long ago have filed the tragic events of that autumn night away, totally unaware of the evil that remains, dormant, but forever patient, among the tall pines and thick-leaved kudzu of a place known only as Hell Hollow.
There it would have remained, unrevealed, if not for a handful of unknowing participants. Four kids, bored for excitement during one of the hottest summers on record. A killer on the run, dodging his latest atrocity. And a rape victim on a deadly mission—scarred in both body and mind. All have a hand in bringing forth an unspeakable evil from the dark woods of Hell Hollow...
“Hell Hollow” will be available in Two Signed Limited Editions and can be ordered HERE. Cover by Alex McVey.
Up next is “Midnight Grinding & Other Twilight Tales”, a 424-page collection representing the best of Kelly's short fiction written during the past twenty years. “Midnight Grinding & Other Twilight Tales”, which is available in Two Signed Limited Editions, is currently shipping now and can be ordered HERE. Cover by Alex McVey.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Specializing in Southern Horror, Ronald Kelly sets his dark rural tales in his home state and other southern locations. His novels include Hindsight, Pitfall, Something Out There, Moon of the Werewolf, Father’s Little Helper, The Possession, Fear, and Blood Kin.

PRESS RELEASE: Reel Energy Entertainment and the Vampire Film Series and Festival (aka Vampire Fest) is proud to announce that Bridget Morrow, author of two unique contributions to the vampire lexicon, the novels, “Master” and “Alex”, will be one of the guests of Vampire Fest 2009.
Her first novel, “Master”, is the story of Lila, a young slave in the American South who is released from one type of bondage only to find another in the hands of her vampire lover, Alex. “Master” was published in 2004 and won the Los Angeles Black Book Expos Award for Fiction. Her second novel, “Alex”, is the prequel of “Master” and tells the story of Alexandre Venasillo, a nobleman in 15th century Spain, who ultimately becomes the vampire, Alex.
Bridget left her native St. Louis to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles. While working in television, theater and film, she also received her bachelors in English Literature and became a Registered Nurse. The written word always fascinated her and she became a writer. Look for her upcoming horror novella, “The Better Year”, which will be released through Bad Moon Books in April 2009. For more information, please visit the author’s Official Website.
