In which a horror story of mine gets a Lee Elias cover

2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the launch of Stephen Jones’ Best New Horror series, and PS Publishing has just announced that to celebrate, it’ll start reissuing all of those volumes. I’m pleased that this will bring back into print the fourth book, which led off with my short story “The Suicide Artist.”

Even cooler is that all of the covers for the series will be repurposed art from pre-Comics Code comic books.

Check out the source for the cover to Best New Horror #4— Lee Elias’ grisly original as it appeared on Black Cat Mystery #48 back in 1954.

I can’t wait to see what image will be used when PS and Steve get around to Best New Horror #8, which reprinted my Stoker-nominated “A Plague on Both Your Houses”!
