Garris, Mick - Also Stephen King, Clive Barker & Tobe Hooper, Illustrator: Clive Barker A LIFE IN THE CINEMA - LIMITED EDITION - SIGNED - ONLY 350 COPIES
USA Gauntlet 2000 1887368361 / 9781887368360 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine Signed by Author
350 copy numbered edition signed by Mick Garris only. Introduction by Stephen King, Afterword by Tobe Hooper, Jacket and Interior Art by Clive Barker. The first book from award-winning filmmaker Mick Garris. It is a collection of eight prickly tales and a screenplay that reach under the skin of real life and reel life to take you places you never realized you wanted to go. The title story A Life in the Cinema and its sequel, Starfucker are set in the author's hometown of Hollywood, and provide a yellow-jaundiced look at a world you only thought was glamorous. As Stephen King, in his introduction, says: Here is a real Hollywood insider writing about the real inside world of filmmaking: the good, the bad, and the cheesy. These stories are both erotic and cynical, but they are above all well and fiercely told-when he's yarning about the tarnished tinsel underbelly of the town he knows (and clearly loves) the best, Mick Garris writes like a combination of Robert Bloch and James Ellroy, hardboiled noir with a ghastly little prick of the devil's own pitchfork. Not all of the stories are Hollywood-based: Garris includes tales of a grandmother who is just as loving in death as she was in life, a geriatric trailer park with a randy secret, wistful and impossible love with a twist, the wrong kind of baby-love, and a deathly brush with fame. The book is capped with a screenplay by Garris, as well as Chocolate the story it's based on, providing, as King puts it, a textbook seminar in the art and craft of adapting one's own work.

Garris, Mick DEVELOPMENT HELL
USA Cemetary Dance Publications 2006 1587671344 / 9781587671340 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fiine Les Edwards Signed by Author
307pp. "Mick Garris writes like a combination of Robert Bloch and James Ellroy, hardboiled noir with a ghastly little prick of the devils own pitchfork." -- Stephen King. Hollywood, California: the Bermuda Triangle of art, sex, and commerce. The beautiful people make their daily deals with the devil on the sun-dappled patio at the Ivy, not in a fiery underground cavern. Nobodies become somebodies in the blink of an eye, but the flash of heady success can be fleeting. The rocket that shoots you into the atmosphere can be carrying weapons of mass destruction that can send you just as quickly and efficiently to Hell. And back to Heaven again. Development Hell is a wicked Hollywood satire, disguised as an extreme erotic horror novel. It is told knowingly from an inside perspective, tracking the career trajectory of a young film school hotshot into the annals of the Big Studio. This arrogant young director leads us through his own set of unique experiences, starting with his explosive and disastrous first Hollywood movie; his discovery of a mutant baby in the arms of a Mexican news dealer in downtown Los Angeles that will be his ticket back to the top of the heap; into the arms of a re-animated glamorous star who died in the 1930s; and body-hopping through the most glamorous sheaths of human flesh on the planet. It is a side of Hollywood rarely seen from beneath its unvarnished, Botox-free, crinkling, wrinkling flesh, and features a supporting cast of characters you will surely recognize. Development Hell welcomes you into a behind-the-scenes peek unlike any other you have witnessed before. Advance Praise for the Novel: "You want to see Hollywoods dark side? Read Mick Garris Development Hell. Garris has earned the right to tell this story from years of working in the creative salt mines of Tinsel Town. He finally gets to show us the way it looks from the inside, and it isnt pretty. This is a sharp, funny and chilling book; an unflinching report from the ego-haunted wasteland behind the face lifts and million-dollar smiles." -- Clive Barker, #1 bestselling author of The Books of Blood, Coldheart Canyon, and Weaveworld. "Development Hell is an imaginative and bizarrely funny cross between dark fantasy, Hollywood satire, and hip pop-culture-infused fiction. Wildly entertaining, it is also terrifying - the terror arising not only from the plot, but also from the fact that, as a Hollywood insider, Garris makes it feel all too real" -- Ridley Pearson, #1 bestselling author of The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, The Art of Deception, Middle of Nowhere, and The First Victim. "Mick Garris stakes Hollywoods vain heart with a wit that X-rays, vivisects and soars. His debut novel is fierce poison; unmerciful and hilarious. The writing is wicked, acrobatic abracadabra." -- Richard Christian Matheson, author of Created By and Dystopia. "Mick Garris, the nicest and least offensive of men, exhibits none of those finer tendencies in Development Hell: The Nine Lives of a Hollywood Player. In the studio-speak of movie executives taking a meeting, it would be described as 'The Twilight Zone meets David Lynch on steroids,' but that would be selling it short. It's a wildly original, vicious, and twisted gut-punch of a book that makes my worst day in Hollywood look like a pleasant trip to Disneyland. Garris claws at the walls of the film biz as if it were a padded cell and he himself a howling lunatic who's missed his medication. I love it." -- Frank Darabont, Director of The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption.

Patrick Gates, Ronald Kelly, John Skipp & Cody Goodfellow, Al Sarrantonio, Rick Hautala, Kealan Patrick Burke, Robin Furth, Nick Mamatas, Scott Nicholson, Del James, and many others. Featuring original dark fiction with a handful of rare reprints, Shivers V is available only as a beautiful perfect-bound trade paperback from Cemetery Dance Publications. Table of Contents: "The Albright Sextuplets" by Norman Prentiss / "The Burn Victim" by Sarah Langan / "Each Step I Take Is In Darkness" by Robert Morrish / "Forever Gramma" by Mick Garris / "Good Fences" by Scott Nicholson / "Hazel [Reduxed]" by John Skipp & Cody Goodfellow / "Cumberland Furnace" by Ronald Kelly / "The Coroner's Daughter" by Robin Furth / "Magpie" by Robin Furth / "One More Day" by Brian Freeman / "Long Overdue" by Sarah Pinborough / "Summer Of '77" by Stewart O'Nan / "Dog Days" by Graham Masterton / "Mysteries Of The Cure" by Nicholas Kaufmann / "Pondlife" by Simon Clark / "The Forever Long Snake Of Olan Walker" by Steve Vernon / "Cookies" by Al Sarrantonio / "Dead Head" by R.

Reviews and Praise:"Chizmar's fifth Shivers compilation, the best to date, features 24 stories and poems notable for their thematic breadth. In Steve Vernon's lyrical "The Forever Long Snake of Olan Walker," a superbly creepy period gothic, an imprisoned conjure man gets his nasty revenge against an Alabama chain-gang work farm boss. Dark suspense offerings range from Sarah Langan's gritty and gruesome "The Burn Victim" to Scott Nicholson's wryly macabre "Good Fences." Other standouts include a fractured fairy tale from Al Sarrantonio ("The Cookie Man"), a dark riff on Dickens from Chet Williamson ("Marley's Cat") and a disturbing look into a murderously unhinged mind by Stewart O'Nan ("Summer of '77"). The variety of the contents ensures that there is something for every horror lover, and for the most part these tales deliver the shivers they promise."- Publishers Weekly. "As the editor of horror fictions flagship periodical, Cemetery Dance, Chizmar has developed such a keen eye for talent that each new Shivers anthology is an event worth celebrating. As in previous editions, Chizmar avoids a single-theme approach in favor of casting the widest possible net over the genres many thematic and stylistic offerings. The best of the bunch here take common fantasy and horror motifs and morph them into fascinating new variations. For David Lynch-style horror, theres Norman Prentiss The Albright Sextuplets, recounting a deliverymans discovery of a monstrously deformed baby hidden from the limelight in a celebrity sextuplet family. For edge-of-the-seat suspense, theres Robert Morrishs Each Step I Take Is in Darkness, about a spelunkers encounter with the malevolent creatures inhabiting a Mexican cave. Scott Nicholsons darkly humorous Good Fences puts two neighbors feud over fences into the category of subtle murder mystery. The volumes 24 entries also include poetry, fractured fairy tales, and a serial killers reminiscences. Once again, Shivers serves as a showcase for the horror genres best craftsmen." - Carl Hays, Booklist. "Boasting stories from a wide range of big names (Stewart O'Nan, among others), rising stars (Stoker-winner Sarah Langan, Nick Mamatas) and old favorites (Rick Hautala, John Skipp, and more), and edited by Cemetery Dance head honcho Richard Chizmar, one would expect great things from the collection... On the whole, the book is a worthwhile read, and there's more than enough in here to keep horror fans of various tastes satisfied... For an anthology with this diverse a base and author list, that's a real win." - Richard Dansky, Green Man Review. "Shivers, edited by Richard Chizmar, now at its fifth installment, is a fortunate, consistently good series offering, at (ir)regular intervals, a tour of what the current horror scene produces, in terms of short stories, from both sides of the ocean. " - Mario Guslandi, The Agony Column. "The book runs the gamut from subtle horror that sneaks up on the reader to stories that have all the subtlety of a swift kick in the nuts. In my humble opinion, this is why the Shivers series has enjoyed so much success over the years there's something for everyone... SHIVERS V is another winner a book that every horror fan should own. It easily earns an 8 out of 10 for its combination of great authors, powerful stories, and cheap price tag." - Andrew Monge, The Horror Drive-In.

Piccirilli, Tom (editor) Jack Ketchum, Gary Braunbeck, Thomas F. Monteleone, Ray Garton, Brian Hodge, Ed Gorman, Al Sarrantonio, Mick Garris THE MIDNIGHT PREMIERE
USA Cemetery Dance Publications 2007 978158767146 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fiine Alan Clark Signed By Editor(s)
360pp. Jack Ketchum, Gary Braunbeck, Thomas F. Monteleone, Ray Garton, Brian Hodge, Ed Gorman, Al Sarrantonio, Mick Garris, and many others, these eighteen original tales celebrate Hollywood and the horror movie-going experience with affection, devotion, and fear. In Midnight Premiere you'll discover how many of these authors have worked in film as screenwriters, actors, and directors, and put their particular experiences to use in showing you the dark underside of the Hollyweird dream and the LaLa Land facade. The opening credits are about to roll. Prepare yourself for the shocking and the illuminating, the strange and the fanciful...the real and the lies of celluloid that may well mean more to you than the truth. And remember - All the many screaming folks they torment up on the big screen and across these pages...? The leering mad smiles, yowling creatures, and the brandishing of sharp weapons...? All the havoc and mayhem and anguish and horrors...?They do it because they LOVE you. Join a cast including Mick Garris (director of Stephen King's THE STAND and DESPERATION), Patrick Lussier (director of WHITE NOISE: THE LIGHT, DRACULA 2000), William Smith (actor in hundreds of classic B-films including RUN ANGEL RUN and GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE), Kyra Schon (zombie-girl extraordinaire from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD), the number one scream queen of all time Linnea Quigley, and many others as they return to the screen for a bevy of unearthly delights... Table of Contents: "Onlookers" by Gary A. Braunbeck / "Elusive" by Jack Ketchum / "Seven Knives" by John Shirley / "Between the Storms" Gerard Houarner / "Ocular" by Mick Garris / "End of Story," by Thomas F. Monteleone / "Evrything Must Go" by Ray Garton / "Forces of Evil, Starring Robert Fields" by Lisa Morton & Richard Grove / "Shadder" by Tom Piccirilli / "Humps in the Field" by William Smith & Del Howison / "Arlene Schabowski Of The Undead" by Mark McLaughlin and Kyra M. Schon / "Del Corozon's Curse" by Carl Dupre / "Baby Boss and the Underground Hamsters: A Feature-Length Cartoon" by Al Sarrantonio / "Vision" by Patrick Lussier / "Murder Victim" by T.M. Wright / "Wizard of Ooze" by Mike McCarty & Linnea Quigley / "The Passion of the Beast" by Brian Hodge / "Scream Queen" by Ed Gorman. Reviews & Praise: "The authors of these 18 horror-movie horror stories include plenty who work in the horror-movie industry, not all of them as scripters. B-movie queen Linnea Quigley teams with writer and former standup comic Michael McCarty to warn us about the gods of FX in "The Wizard of Ooze." Film editor-director Patrick Lussier's "Vision" is cautionary, too, but about boy-genius directors. With prolific short-form writer Mark McLaughlin's help, Kyra M. Schon, who as a little girl wielded a garden trowel on mommy in the original Night of the Living Dead, wickedly exploits her unforgettable performance in "Arlene Schabowski of the Undead." Full-time writers contribute the very best tales, such as Gary A. Braunbeck's "Onlookers," based on one of the most famous art films ever; Brian Hodge's thought-provoking reply to Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, "The Passion of the Beast"; and crime-novelist Ed Gorman's sad, moving coming-of-age story, "Scream Queen." But really, there isn't a single unrewarding entry, especially for fans of the most fiendish kind of Twilight Zone ending." - Booklist... "The most successful contributions blur the boundaries between cinema and verité: Gary Braunbeck's opener, "Onlookers," is a shiver-inducing tale of observations that create reality; Jack Ketchum's "Elusive" makes a common question deeply disturbing; and Ray Garton's "Everything Must Go" is a heart-pounding, heartbreaking story about knowing when to believe your eyes." - Publishers Weekly... "Midnight Premiere is a superb anthology, one whose faults as well as its strengths give it value. Highly recommended." - Horror World... "While 'theme' anthologies still have their detractors, it's clear that a well-balanced volume like Midnight Premiere can and does showcase great writing and entertainment, slip in a little social commentary, and wrap it all up in a humorous Alan Clark cover painting. What's not to like?" - Chizine.
