Lonely Road Books is dedicated to turning modern classics and future classics into deluxe Limited Edition works of art. Founded by Richard Chizmar and Brian James Freeman, the first five Lonely Road Books titles sold out very quickly and future projects are already in the works.

With extremely low print runs and the finest production materials available, these books are designed with the ultimate collectors in mind. Because of the time required to produce the special editions these works deserve, we only publish one or two books each year at the very most.

Our most recent announcement is the signed Limited Edition and Lettered Edition of Blockade Billy by Stephen King, featuring ELEVEN black & white interior illustrations by Alex McVey, a color frontispiece by Glen Orbik, and Stephen King's first-ever signed baseball card.

Also coming later this year will be Riding the Bullet: The Deluxe Special Edition Double by Mick Garris and Stephen King, featuring the complete original novella and screenplay, a unique two color design throughout, full-color and B&W artwork by horror legend Bernie Wrightson, plus exclusive storyboards, photos from the set, production notes, hand-corrected script pages, and more from the Top Secret "Director's Notebook" kept during the production.

If you want to look back where we started, readers and collectors raved about our first book, Dark Forces: The 25th Anniversary Special Edition edited by Kirby McCauley, and many consider it a "must have" for any fine horror and suspense collection. Not only did every available copy of our special edition sellout within days of being announced, but copies were selling on the second-hand market for much more than the original retail price immediately upon publication. This incredible collection features stories by Stephen King, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ramsey Campbell, Charles L. Grant, Richard & Richard Christian Matheson, and over a dozen other masters of the genre.

The Arthur Darknell Double by Arthur Darknell was our second title. This special deluxe edition was crafted in the tradition of the old Ace Doubles, so when you finish the first novel, flip the book over and start the other novel.

That's right! This book featured TWO original novels — never before published anywhere and currently not scheduled to be reprinted — and both the Limited Edition and the Lettered Edition sold out within days of being announced.

Lonely Road Books was proud to publish Arthur Darknell's first two books together as a special deluxe Limited Edition "Double," but who is Arthur Darknell? Well, you might know him from the tales of terror he writes under the name of Ray Garton. If you're curious as to why Ray has decided to go in a new direction with his fiction, please check out his essay on the Lonely Road Books website.

Poe by New York Times bestselling author Stewart O'Nan, our third title, also sold out within days of being announced, and once again no other editions of Poe are planned anywhere in the world at this time. Featuring a special introduction from horror film legend Roger Corman, this unique production of Poe is only available as a Lonely Road Books special edition.

Also currently in production is The Vampyricon Trilogy: The Definitive Special Edition by Douglas Clegg. Click here to read more about this incredible epic and all of the "lost material" being included in our edition for the first time ever.
