Midworld Press...

Looks like you're correct...from a review I found:

"When a group of Nazi soldiers occupies an isolated keep deep in the Transylvanian Alps, they awaken something out for their blood, at a determined pace of one death per night. Terrified, they ask for help; alas, the elite reinforcements prove ineffective. Desperate, they end up reaching out to an expert on local legends, a wheelchair-bound intellectual who happens to be Jewish. But even the scholar and his daughter don’t suspect the repercussions of what has been unleashed in the keep…" Notice there's even a young woman (that aforementioned daughter...?) pushing the wheelchair in MidWorld's art.

Thanks for the follow-up, Ron. It's nice to know that wasn't completely off on my guess.

Hey, after reading today's newsletter it looks like I was right about The Keep. I'm hardly ever right about anything (just ask the wife) so maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket or something! I don't know if I'm going to pull the trigger on a copy, though.

The Beekeeper's Apprentice sounds interesting, but the price point might be too high for me to do a blind buy. However, both Fever House and the Laird Barron omnibus sound pretty intriguing, so I'll keep an eye out for those. I'm still have yet to purchase anything from Midworld--both criticism of their early editions, including some unattractive cover art, and their newsletter response about the cover art to The Girl With All the Gifts turned me off a bit--but never say never.

Wow- this is exactly where I'm at with the titles just announced, and the press as a whole- pretty much verbatim. Nothing so far has made me pull the trigger, but, as a long-time Sherlockian- I am intrigued by The Beekeepers Apprentice, but, maybe not at that price, and, The Keep? I've already got a pretty ok signed/limited Borderlands edition, but- Palumbo... oooh, I like his stuff.

Congrats on your guess! Will be passing on the Keep as well. Already have it as a part of the Borderlands Adversary Cycle set and don't need a dupe copy. Not really interested in the Beekeeper's apprentice as an LE but would like to read it at some point. Not sure about the Barron book. He's one of those authors that never seems to quite click for me as much as others but perhaps I would like his crime stuff better. Never heard of Fever House but it sounds like tons of fun.
