For readers eagerly looking for the latest—and best—in original horror fiction, international publisher Samhain Publishing, Ltd. has announced its October 2011 launch lineup for its new Samhain Horror fiction imprint.

With this highly anticipated launch, Don D’Auria, Executive Editor for Samhain Horror, seeks not only to serve horror fiction’s diverse and loyal audience — but to expand it. “To me, this new line represents the perfect partnership of my enthusiasm and respect for the horror genre with a cutting-edge publishing company known for its innovation and supportive attitude toward authors,” D’Auria explains. “Given Samhain’s established track record in ebook and trade sales, I can’t wait to bring the best horror fiction to an even wider audience than before.”

D’Auria recently joined Samhain Publishing from Leisure Books, where for fifteen years he directed the horror line that Rue Morgue magazine called “the champion of paperback horror.” Samhain Horror will initially release two new horror fiction novels each month, with additional author features and information available on their website. As a special bonus, several of master horror author Ramsey Campbell’s previously published titles will be re-released during the October launch event.
