Eerie Books Updates
Lots of Eerie Books news to update the blog with:
Eerie Books New Store Hours
Eerie Books is now open Tuesday through Saturday from 2pm to 6pm. We just weren’t seeing enough business in the mornings and late in the evenings to warrant staying open later than that. Now, with that being said, if you can’t make it to the store during those hours, I’ll come in and meet you at almost any time you like. So really the new Eerie Books store hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 2pm to 6pm or by appointment.
Horror Book Club
The book club is still going strong and meeting on the first Thursday of each month. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 1 at 6:30pm. We’re reading and discussing Joe Hill’s Heart Shaped Box, which is a terrific novel from the son of Stephen King. We’ll serve pizza and drinks, and we’ll visit the Ranch House for karaoke afterward. (Karaoke is optional, of course.)
Wylie High Rollers Fantasy Football League
We had our fantasy football draft at the Ranch House this weekend. It was very cool Thanks to Sammy and crew for being the official drinking establishment for Eerie Books.
Cool New Horror Books
We’ve recently received shipments of some really cool new horror books. One of my favorites is Z.E.O.: A Zombie’s Guide to Getting A(Head) in Business. While it’s tongue in cheek and from the same folks who wrote The Zen of Zombie, it actually does offer some reasonably good business advice for people who want to climb the corporate ladder. One piece of advice I enjoyed is that you should never hurry, but never rest either. (Just like a zombie, see?)
Upcoming Horror Books
Under the Dome by Stephen King is one of our most anticipated upcoming horror books. We’ll have copies for sale on November 10, 2009. Under the Dome tells the story of Chesters Mill, Maine, which is a small town inexplicably cut off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field.
Death Troopers by Joe Shchreiber is the first horror novel to be placed in the Star Wars universe. It’s set just before or just after A New Hope, and it’s basically a zombie novel in space, set on a prison ship belonging to the Empire. Death Troopers will be available for purchase at the store on its release date, October 13, 2009.
Dark Delicacies III from Del Howison is now available, and we have copies on the way. (They should be here by Friday.) Dark Delicacies is the only other all-horror bookstore in the country, and they publish an occasional anthology of horror fiction edited by proprietor Del Howison. The first two volumes are excellent, and we expect the latest one to be just as good. Dark Delicacies III includes short fiction from Clive Barker, Chuck Palahniuk, and David Morrell, among others.
Vampire Haiku by Ryan Meclum is a sequel of sorts to his earlier book, Zombie Haiku. We’ll have copies available by Friday of this week. If the book is anywhere near as good as its predecessor, then it will be a real treat.

Randy, was great to meet you Saturday! The Zen of Zombies is turning out to be a very entertaining read, and I can’t wait to start the House of Leaves.
I just added “Let the Right One In” to my netflix queue, looking forward to watching it.
Oh something I just noticed, you might want to update the home page on this site with the new store hours as well.
See you around.

Sorry for the delayed reply – you’re absolutely right. Updating the homepage of the site is on my list of things to do.
Glad you’re enjoying the books.
