THRALL Now Available on Kindle!

For those who missed the hardcover version of Thrall, the e-book version for Kindle is now available on Amazon for only $4.99.

F. Paul wilson says of Thrall: “Thrall is a feast of both visceral and existential horror – the gut tightens and the mind reels. Mary SanGiovanni joins that select cadre of women writers who are ignoring the safe old tropes and pushing the genre in new directions.”

FOR EMMY Now Available on Kindle!

For those of you who missed the hardcover and paperback versions of my novella, For Emmy, the e-book version for Kindle is now available through Amazon for only $2.99. Here’s what reviewers though of this novella:

– It made the Horror Mall’s August 2010 Bestseller List (the In-Stock books);

– Nick Cato referred to the book as “easily one of the best of 2011” and containing “more food for thought and downright eeriness than in just about all of the 60+ books (he’s) read so far this year”;

– Kevin Lucia’s SHROUD magazine review calls it “chilling, heartbreaking, and quietly terrifying” (potential spoilers);

– In his Dreadful Tales review, Column McKnight described it as “brilliant and terrifying…SanGiovanni’s masterpiece”;

– On his website, Hunter Shea calls it “poignant and creepy as hell“.

THRALL Available for Pre-order

THRALL
Reservations are now being taken for my new novel, THRALL, through Thunderstorm Books. The book is a signed, limited-edition hardcover featuring the novel as well as two bonus stories, “Kins” and “The Days After the World Went Away.”

The last thing JESSE COAGLAN ever wanted to do was return to his hometown of Thrall, New Jersey. Tucked away in the wilds of the northwestern corner of the state, Thrall has always been a very strange place to live. The town was a poison that affected people’s minds, their souls, their bodies, and their perspectives. So Jesse abandoned his friends and the one woman he loved, and left everything behind. Seven years later, Jesse has found a reason to return – a reason that, in spite of his best attempts otherwise, he can’t ignore. His old love, Mia Dalianis, has left him a voicemail message begging him to come back, if not for her, then for the daughter Jesse never knew he had. Jesse needs to go back. He’s been running for a long time – from relationships, friendships, everything he is afraid of and feels guilty over. He realizes that the nightmares will never stop until he goes to Thrall. With help from Nadia Richards and some old surviving friends from Thrall, Jesse intends to find his daughter or die trying. He goes looking for redemption, but what he discovers about his old hometown may destroy him and everyone he’s ever cared about.

F. Paul Wilson says of the book: “THRALL is a feast of both visceral and existential horror—the gut tightens and the mind reels. Mary SanGiovanni joins that select cadre of women writers who are ignoring the safe old tropes and pushing the genre in new directions.”

Mood and Atmosphere Article to be Published in Spring

My article on Mood and Atmosphere in Horror is scheduled to appear in MANY GENRES, ONE CRAFT, along with about 60 other contributions on the techniques and mechanics of writing genre fiction. This book, edited by writers Heidi Ruby Miller and Mike Arnzen, is to be published by Headline Books for a Spring 2011 release in hardcover and later, trade paperback. I understand the book will be at international book fairs and at Book Expo America. I’m very excited to be a part of this project.
