Remember: As a general rule, Ray attends on Saturday nights, Feb. 13th is the known exception for this run. If you buy tickets for the opening night, Jan. 16th, there will be an after party. The same holds for the closing night performance but this performance could be extended so do not depend on the current closing date.

Dear Bookfriends,

For mail order- or for In-shop:

Pre-order now for mail order or for line numbers for signing in-shop for a special Twilight Zone-ish author event coming this Saturday!

Just added to the numerous authors that will be signing--John Shirley and James Robert Smith.

This book is the publisher/editor, Jason Brock's first book publication--and he has done a splendid job. Jason is also the man making the lengthy film documentary on Charles Beaumont--the original Twilight Zone author who died so young and who all these other authors had looked up to.

The book we are featuring has all original--never before published--twilight zone unused scripts, dark stories, and weird tales, all written by crème de la crème authors, AND is limited to only 400 copies, signed only by the editors. EXCEPT--for the signatures that will be added during our signing event!
Several of the authors will be coming to talk about the Zone, and sign the book in a round robin style.
The authors that will be attending to sign are:
William F. Nolan, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner, (all the manes listed so far are original Twilight Zone authors), Jason V. Brock, John Tomerlin, Lisa Morton, Cody Goodfellow, John Shirley, James Robert Smith, R.C. Matheson, and Norman Corwin. (and any others that wish to drop in).

This robust anthology also contains original works by the late Dan O'Bannon, Ray Bradbury, Nancy Kilpatrick, Richard Matheson, Joe R. Lansdale, Christopher Conlon, Kurt Newton, Frank M. Robinson, Steve Rasnic Tem, Gary A Braunbeck, and S.T. Joshi.
Delightfully illustrated with author photos and macabre vignettes, this handsome book is a hardcover in waxed red linen with black endpapers, black titles to the spine, in dust jacket creepily illustrated by Kris Kuksi.
