Gregory Lamberson to Nab 'Cheap Scares' With 'Johnny Gruesome'
The trade paperback of Gregory Lamberson’s new horror novel, Johnny Gruesome, will be available in bookstores nationwide this Wednesday, October 1st. The book, about a vengeance-crazed, teenage zombie hell-bent on destroying his home town during a harsh Western New York snowstorm, was published as a Limited Edition hardcover by Bad Moon Books in January. Lamberson’s other book for 2008, the instructional Cheap Scares! Low Budget Horror Filmmakers Share Their Advice, will be available from McFarland and Company next week. In the meantime check out the cover for Cheap Scares! below.
“This is a big year for me,” says Lamberson, “and it’s exciting to have two books that I’ve worked so hard on published in the same month. I originally wrote Johnny Gruesome as a screenplay back when I made Slime City, but I was never able to raise enough financing to make it the way I wanted to. I was happy when Bad Moon Books published the Limited Edition of the novel, which was illustrated, but that was aimed at the collectors’ market. Medallion Press’ trade paperback is affordable for horror fans and will be available everywhere. And I love that cover!” Be sure to pick up both Johnny Gruesome and Cheap Scares when they hit tomorrow.
