ON OCTOBER 8, my 15th novel, The Bloodstained Doll, will be released in hardcover, paperback and e-book editions by Flame Tree Press. It’s another horrific murder-mystery thriller in the vein of my last Flame Tree release, Five Deaths for Seven Songbirds. Meant to celebrate the crazy giallo thrillers of Italy from the 1970s, I have really enjoyed writing these two novels and I hope you’ll enjoy reading them! So… without further ado… here’s what it…
OVER THE PAST THREE months, new audiobook company Fright Night Audio has released four of my novels in audiobook format via Amazon and Audible. Violet Eyes, which previously had a limited release a few years ago from Audio Realms, just came out in a newly recorded edition this week and is narrated by Kaleigh Kirby. The Pumpkin Man, which was my last novel for Leisure Books back in 2011, is finally in audiobook format a…
“NightWhere is a batshit crazy, hot, wet ride into hell!”-Dreadful Tales 2022 WAS THE 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the release of NightWhere, my sixth novel and my second to be a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award. It was also the year I finished writing its long-awaited and promised sequel, The Night Mother. After years of wanting to tell the story of Selena, the mysterious fallen angel from NightWhere, I finally dug in and did it.…
EIGHT YEARS AGO, Jonathan Maberry approached me and a handful of others with an invitation to contribute to a new shared world book he was creating that dealt with vampires. I still have the original e-mail – from May of 2011 – and of course I accepted the invite, but I never dreamed when the resulting book V-Wars was first published in 2012 that it would spawn three more prose volumes, a comic book series,…
ON MAY 31st, I will be signing preview copies of The House By The Cemetery at the Javits Center in New York City as part of the annual Book Expo America (BEA) conference! Signing at Book Expo America is one of those bucket list kind of things for me… I’ve wanted to go to BEA ever since my first novel, Covenant, came out in paperback ten years ago. BEA is the biggest book convention in…
Sacrificing Virgins, my most recent collection of horror and dark fantasy fiction, is on sale for the next couple days on Amazon for just $.99 or £.99! I’m hoping that readers will give it a shot and check it out this week while it’s cheap on Amazon US or Amazon UK. Today it was featured on a BookBub promotion in the UK, which drove it into Amazon’s Top 10 Bestsellers lists tonight in Horror/Occult: One…
THE PUMPKIN MAN is a horror thriller featuring a Ouija Board and a mysterious killer who cuts off the heads of his victims and replaces them with pumpkins carved in the likeness of their faces. It was my fifth and final novel for Dorchester Publishing, and it’s a story I’ve always wanted to do a sequel to (but so far, never have quite found the time!). When it was first released, New York Times bestselling…
LAST MONTH, I got a peek at the cover for The House By The Cemetery, my 10th novel overall, and my first for Flame Tree Press. I’ve been itching to share it ever since, but had to wait for a final version from the publisher. And at last… here it is! What do you think? The House By The Cemetery was the very first book signed for Flame Tree Publishing’s new Flame Tree Press imprint…
IT’S BEEN LONG overdue, but I’ve officially launched the JohnEverson.com redesign! My site has had a few different looks over the years but the last time I gave it a full redesign was August 2008. The web has changed a lot since then, so JohnEverson.com really needed a facelift. The last design was my longest-lived look, thanks to the design help of Alina Ciejka Gonciarz and the awesome artwork from Travis Anthony Soumis (repurposed from…
THE BEAUTY IN RUINS review site gave my 6th novel, NightWhere, a glowing review earlier this year on its associated blog WTF Are You Reading?, and this week, the site listed the book as a top read of 2017 calling it “a work of erotic horror that delivered on both fronts.” Check out the full best of the year list from Beauty In Ruins.
