Thanks for the update, Brian. I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
And please, do ask Glenn about doing some remarques!

Good questions. Sadly I don't have the answer to either. I'll point Brian here though, he should have the answer.

Unfortunately, the story has been beating up Norm for most of this year and he's just now whipping it into shape, so we won't be able to publishing this one until 2012. We're not sure when the final manuscript will be done, but what we've read has been KILLER...

Oktober Shadows

Last year October Oktober Shadows by Norman Partridge was made available, for four days only. I was lucky to order both the signed/limited and the deluxe signed/lettered editions. Í'd like to ask two questions:

-Will the book be released in time for Halloween?
-Will remarqued editions (Glenn Chadbourne) be made available? If so, count me in!!

Are there any updates on this one by any chance? Hoping to have this in time for a Halloween read, though if it's not it should still be worth the wait

Another production update is due soon -- I was actually going to email Norm tomorrow to see how things were going on his end.

Hands down Norm is one of my fav. This would be a nice Halloween read!

[Antmusic]

Having this as an October read would be awesome, but it will be awesome whenever I get to read it!

[frik51]

I do hope Glenn Chadbourne is willing to do some remarques.
The ones I've seen for Full Dark, No Stars, for instance, are absolutely amazing.
I ordered both editions and am really looking forwards to this book.

I hope so as well, but if not, well, guess I'll just have to be patient, lol. Can't wait to see what the cover will look like

[bsaenz24]

I really hope this is out in time for Halloween!!

10/31: THE BUTCHER'S TALE
by Norman Partridge

Featuring cover artwork by Jon Foster and interior artwork by Glenn Chadbourne!

About the Book:
One Halloween night, monsters took over our world. No one understands where they came from or why. But those who have survived in the age of 10/31 spend their days and nights in a life-and-death battle against the darkest forces imaginable — witches and werewolves, mummies and goblins, and Jacks... sentient pumpkin creatures which may be more dangerous than all the rest.

Two young men are among the survivors, living by their wits in a wilderness now occupied by The Butcher's Boys, a cult-like human tribe bent on staking out their own corner of the world. Soon enough the young men are trapped between a goblin army and the Butcher himself, a madman as dangerous as any monster that walks the night... and the only road to safety is sure to be paved with blood.
