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…

LAST MONTH, I SIGNED a contract for my 10th novel, The House by the Cemetery, with a new imprint from a long established UK house, Flametree Publishing.

Violet Eyes, is an ode to the “Creature Features” movies I used to watch as a kid. Spiders. Flies… creepy cocoons…. It’s an apocalyptic bug sci-fi thriller! Violet Eyes was featured on the…
MY FOUR BOOKS FOR Samhain Publishing — NightWhere, Violet Eyes, The Family Tree and Sacrificing Virgins — are at last, fully back in print — three of them with new cover art! At the start of January, Samhain, my publisher of the past six years, began to close up shop (they’re now fully out-of-business). That took my last four releases temporarily out-of-print. I decided to re-issue them on my own imprint, Dark Arts Books,…
