The Monster Librarian Presents:
Horror Fiction Releases for 2008
If you are a librarian you are probably thinking, " If I only knew when some of these wonderful horror novels were coming out that I want to add to my collection I could properly budget for them." If you are a fan of horror fiction you might be thinking, "If I only knew when the next great horror book, novella, or anthology was coming out then I would know when I will have to get that second job to pay for all of this (or, alternatively, harass your local librarian)." I have put together a list of upcoming releases. This is by no means an exhaustive list and is sure to be updated, modified, and corrected.
