From Paul at Thunderstorm Books: “All individual orders, domestic and international; all bookseller allotments, domestic and international; all contributor copies have shipped.  All orders so far have shipped.  (If you didn’t get a shipping notification, you can email me (some of the notifications bounced as invalid email addresses). I do have a handful (and I mean handful) left due to some check reservations never coming through, as well as a couple of dropped memberships. These will be gone within 24 hours so act fast.”

As noted earlier today on The Keenedom, Maelstrom Set 2, which includes A Conspiracy of One and Alone (both by me) and John Urbancik’s Once Upon A Time In Midnight, should begin shipping next Monday (July 25th). These were all sold out prior to publication. You may still be able to get them via Camelot, Overlook, or Horror Mall.

The second Maelstrom set is on sale now! (Update: Now sold out) This set includes:

A Conspiracy of One by Brian Keene Everyone has a darkest hour. For the employees of Big Bill’s Home Electronics, it comes when a crazed gunman barges into their store and opens fire. For Evan Fisher, it manifests as he tries to protect his family in the aftermath of a natural disaster. For Ward and Valerie, it is the imaginary friend who creeps through their daughter’s window at night. For Gina, a woman devoted to her husband, it rises with the dead. For the residents of a small Atlantic coastal town, it arrives from the sea with an amphibian croak. And for a burned-out horror novelist, it is echoed in the whispers of a ghost. This newest collection features over 80,000 words of short fiction and novellas, including “Halves”, “The House of Ushers”, “Scratch”, “I Sing A New Psalm”, “The Girl on the Glider” and many more, as well as extensive story notes. And in keeping with Maelstrom’s exclusivity promise, this will be the only edition of this book ever printed, thus making it a true collectible.

Alone by Brian Keene When Daniel Miller wakes up one morning, something has gone terribly wrong. The power is out. The phones are dead. The house is silent. The street is shrouded in fog. Both his partner and their adopted daughter are missing. So are their neighbors. And so is everyone else in the world. Daniel Miller is the last person left on Earth… or is he? An all-new, original novella of quiet, supernatural horror.

Once Upon a Time in Midnight by John Urbancik Welcome to Midnight, City of Night. This is the city tucked between two mountains in such a way the sun never shines here. This is the home to men like Mr. Zero and Uncle Knuckles. This is a place where more roads lead in than out. When Thomas Midnight makes a wrong turn and ends up trapped in the City of Night, he’ll do whatever it takes to get out. But the city’s grip around him tightens, and word has already spread that he’s arrived.
