Ellis from Reed City, Michigan stopped in to present his freehand rendition of the cover of NIGHT OF THE HODAG, book #2 in Johnathan Rand's NIGHTMARE NATION series. We've got his artwork on display at the counter here at the store. Thanks, Ellis! Great work!

Just arrived: 26,000 books, including the all-new Michigan Chillers #22: Nightmare Babies of New Boston and Nightmare Nation #2: Night of the Hodag. Books are available at Chillermania, and have already started shipping to regional distributors and independent booksellers. (They'll be available at www.americanchillers.com within a day or so.) NOTE: Chillermania will be opening at noon on Thursday, August 20, and not 10am as scheduled so the exterminators can take care of a land leech infestation in the basement. Sorry for the inconvenience.
