• Dark Forces Limited Edition
All copies of the Dark Forces Limited Edition shipped in December and we've been thrilled with the feedback. Thank you to everyone who supported this publication. If you missed out, you can view some photos in our new website's art and photo gallery:

• Dark Forces Lettered Edition
The hand-made traycases for the Dark Forces Lettered Edition will be shipping to us by the middle of February so everyone who ordered this deluxe special edition should receive their copy by the end of next month. Thank you for your patience! We hope you're as pleased with the final presentation of this special edition as we are. It's a beautiful book.

• The Arthur Darknell Double
This title is now at the printer and Vincent Chong is finishing up the TWO dust jacket designs for The Arthur Darknell Double. Although we hadn't originally planned for this, we liked the two different designs he came up with so much that we've decided to print two different dust jackets—one for the Limited Edition and another for the Lettered Edition. That will make each edition just a little more unique and special. We can't wait for everyone to see how this project came together.

• IMPORTANT UPDATE On Our Third Project!
Our newest announcement, Poe by Stewart O'Nan, sold out within a week of being announced, but if you hurry, you can join the waiting list to be notified if any copies become available. This is the best way to make sure you have a chance to get a brand new copy direct from us—with no obligation to purchase if you change your mind.

In this special deluxe Limited Edition, O'Nan offers readers a unique perspective into the life and mind of the classic horror writer, Edgar Allan Poe. Admirers of Poe's influential writings will recognize their favorite author in this screenplay, which is simultaneously a realistic look at his life, an homage to the gothic castles and mist-shrouded forests of classic B-Movies, and a sometimes-surreal meditation on Poe's addictions, obsessions, and inspirations. These pages depict a "bloodier, sexier Poe," as he might have been directed in a film by Pier Paolo Pasolini—a depiction O'Nan hopes will appeal to fans of Roger Corman and Federico Fellini alike.

Featuring a special introduction from horror film legend Roger Corman, this unique production is only available as a Lonely Road Books special edition. Click here for more information while copies remain available for reservation.

"A page-turner that delivers a tale as full of mystery and imagination as Poe's famous stories…Stewart O'Nan's life of Poe would make a great movie: erotic, violent, darkly humorous, suspenseful, and shocking."
— Roger Corman, director of House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum, and The Raven

• To Make Sure You Are Notified About The Next Book
We will be using the Cemetery Dance shipping database for Dark Forces and the Cemetery Dance preorder database for The Arthur Darknell Double to notify those two groups of customers about the new Lonely Road Books title at the appropriate times.

This notification will come via EMAIL from ORDER@CEMETERYDANCE.COM.

If you want to make sure you're notified, please read the following information. If you already followed these steps for your Cemetery Dance orders, you're already set for Lonely Road Books and you don't need to send the information again unless you didn't hear back in regards to your original email. Everyone who emailed their information to CD has been notified accordingly if that information was received.

• UPDATING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WITH CEMETERY DANCE
Important! If you want your Dark Forces or The Arthur Darknell Double customer information to be completely up-to-date so you can be contacted about future Lonely Road Books titles (and also receive shipping confirmations on your orders), you will need to follow these steps!

Cemetery Dance recently switched to a new order management system. This system has created customer accounts for every customer and these accounts include a list of everything you have on preorder or that has shipped to you since October 26, 2007. But unfortunately email addresses could not be imported into these accounts, so Cemetery Dance staffers have to add them manually.

To receive any special emails Cemetery Dance sends to Lonely Road customers, such as advance notification of new books, please email your full name, mailing address, phone number, and email address to this email address: newsystem@cemeterydance.com

Please use the SUBJECT LINE: "Old Preorders Contact Information" and be sure to spell "cemetery" correctly in the email address. Providing this information will make it easier for CD to get your email address onto the correct account.

Example:
Joe Customer
132-B Industry Lane, Unit #7
Forest Hill, MD 21050
410-588-5901
joecustomer@aol.com

Please use the format above. The newsystem@cemeterydance.com email address is only for submitting this information and it is the only address to send this information to. Please do not send a change of address or any other questions to this address because they cannot be answered there. You will receive a confirmation that your email has been received.

You do NOT need to send this information more than once. All orders placed after October 26, 2007 are automatically set-up to receive email shipping confirmations and other email updates automatically. All you have to do is make sure you send CD your new email address whenever it changes!

• Closing Thoughts
We have some exciting projects planned for 2008 and beyond, and we appreciate everyone's support of Lonely Road Books! If you have any suggestions of classic books you feel deserve a deluxe Limited Edition like our edition of Dark Forces or if you have a favorite author you think we should approach for an original story, please feel free to email: brianfreeman@lonelyroadbooks.com

Thanks again for your support!

Best wishes,
Brian Freeman
