I'm excited and honored to be able to announce that SCREAMING DREAMS PUBLISHING in the UK has just announced a exclusive deal to produce The Gerlach Library. This will be a full collection of all my novels, with proper artwork and design, starting with LAKE MOUNTAIN in September this year and THE NOCTURNE early in 2011.

Screaming Dreams is publishing some of the best UK dark fiction available, and they're fully committed to providing you with a proper collector's set of Gerlach Novels - all designed to compliment each other and look fantastic on your shelves. The books themselves will feature the very best artwork available for each novel, my own "author's preferred text" never before produced in any edition currently available, and the release schedule will be two novels a year.

There will be extras with each book, and I can guarantee the love and dedication to each novel that the guys at Screaming Dreams have already shown is simply amazing. They also have exclusive rights to my two new novels, which will be slated into the release schedule at a future date.

Below are the first "teaser" adverts (which make terrific bookmarks) for both LAKE MOUNTAIN and THE NOCTURNE.

All have been very positive and below you'll find a quote from a review just recently published on Horrorworld:

"...The highlight for many readers will be Steve Gerlach’s, WHITE CHRISTMAS, a tale that is as brutal as it is deranged.  Gore fans should consider this story their very own special Christmas present as Gerlach has penned a tale that is as disturbing and disgusting as it gets.  I wasn’t prepared for this story of extreme horror and found myself pausing often in disbelief at what I was reading… (to tell you the truth, I am not a fan of this type of hardcore horror and it really bothered me).  For those who love Ed Lee’s or Wrath’s type of horror fiction, Gerlach’s story should be very pleasing, but for those who have trouble sleeping at night after reading hardcore horror, it might be best if you skipped over this one."

It always makes me very happy to receive reviews like that one. You can read the full review here: http://www.horrorworld.org/reviews.htm

Pasted Graphic

Arnold Enright has been a prisoner for the past six years, confined to a cell not of his own making. Sentenced to viewing his world's reflection in a mirror and with little hope of escape, he is a man whose whole existence can be measured in feet and inches, his only companion the relentless wheeze of an iron lung.

In this hopeless life of scientific dead-ends, Arnold Enright is left to ponder, to regret, to constantly remember what was, and what might have been. Forever praying for an escape route and a way to end it all, Mr Enright is about to discover his prayers have been answered, but in a way he could never have imagined.


Praise for WITHIN HIS REACH:

"WITHIN HIS REACH is a gripping story, reminiscent of a top-drawer Twilight Zone episode. Steve Gerlach grabs you right at the start and holds you breathless until the very last line. I can imagine the spirits of Rod Serling and Charles Beaumont nodding their approval over this powerful novella--it's a terrific piece of work."

--Christopher Conlon, Bram Stoker Award finalist for Midnight on Mourn Street, Starkweather Dreams


"I've read and enjoyed everything Steve Gerlach has published but I never imagined he had the talent, the soul, and the insight to write a story like Within His Reach.  This is a wonderful tribute to Rod Serling --deeply moving, heartbreaking, even.  It's an emotional roller-coaster I'll be thinking about for a long time.  I can't recommend it highly enough."

-- John R. Little, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Miranda, The Memory Tree and The Gray Zone
