Depraved limited edition in the works

Attention Depraved fans. I have sold the limited edition rights to this recent Leisure release. It will be a high-end collector's edition. Details, including the publisher, to follow in a week or two, as I have agreed to wait for the publisher to make their official announcement before saying anything else.

Lists redux

Depraved makes yet another year end best list, this time from Famous Monsters of Filmland:

One Depraved Year

Depraved has made a couple of year end best lists for 2009. There's this one from author Brian Keene:

And this one from Shroud Magazine:

For many months before Depraved came out I did a lot of going on and about how I believed it was my best novel yet, so it's cool to see that conviction validated to some degree by things like this.

Interview

Below is a link to a recent interview I did with Rhonda Wilson of Monsterlibrarian.com. This was published online a couple weeks ago, I believe, but I'm just now getting around to posting it here because I have been slowed down in just everything by the holiday season. Bring on the damn new year.

The Killing Kind cover

This is the cover for The Killing Kind, my seventh horror novel for Leisure Books, out next July.

Wrath James White on Depraved

Wrath James White has been developing a reputation as one of the most badass of the hardcore horror writers, right up there with Edward Lee. So I was pleased to learn today that Wrath enjoyed my new novel, Depraved. Here's the blurb he's given me for the book.

"Bryan Smith's Depraved is a violent fast-paced read that's fun in the way that only the sickest most twisted of minds can truly appreciate. I enjoyed the hell out of it!"

-Wrath James White, author of Succulent Prey and The Resurrectionist

House Of Blood reprinted

Just learned that Leisure Books has reprinted House of Blood, which was my first novel. It had been out of stock from the publisher for some time, but it will soon be readily available again. So for newer readers, here's your opportunity to get a copy. It will probably be a few more days before it's in stock in places like Amazon again, but it's already available from the Dorchester site and I plan to stock up on some new copies myself.
