Die, You Bastard! Die! & Ravenous Shadows Launch Today!

by Jan Kozlowski

It’s Launch Day! It’s Launch Day!

Ravenous Romance’s new horror/mystery/thriller imprint, Ravenous Shadows, headed by horror legend John Skipp, debuted today.

In an interview with Publisher’s Weekly, Literary Partners CEO Holly Schmidt said, “It was always our plan to expand our business model to other fiction genres, and when we had the opportunity to work with John Skipp, we decided to start with horror/mystery/thrillers. Skipp provided us with a clear vision and strong point of view for the line, and really is the heart and soul of Ravenous Shadows.”

From Editor in Chief, John Skipp- “Welcome to Ravenous Shadows: a new line of startling, provocative genre fiction, dedicated to the proposition that short, powerful novels and novellas can pack as much punch, personality, and plot as books three times their size.”

The four novels launching the line are:

Madness_spec_2
House of Quiet Madness by Mikita Brottman – an Ira Levin style mystery

Tribesmen_spec_4

Devoted_spec_6

The Devoted by Eric Shapiro – a Hitchcockian take on a modern suicide cult

Die_spec_3 Die, You Bastard! Die! by Jan Kozlowski – a sexual abuse/revenge story somewhere between Misery and Last House on the Left.

All the gorgeous, kick ass cover art was done by the fabulous Paula Rozelle Hanback.
