Just a reminder that the most excellent Dark Scribe Press anthology “Unspeakable Horror From The Shadows of the Closet” was released on December 1st.

Opening the anthology is “Emmeline”, a new short story by C.J. Lines but if that’s not enough to have you reaching for your scalpel and calling in some open wallet surgery, there are also stories by genre leading lights like Lee Thomas, Sarah Langan, Jameson Currier, Rick R. Reed, Scott Nicholson and Kealan Patrick Burke.

This book is being published in the US so UK fans will have to pick it up online but it’s up at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and Horror Mall, to name but a few.

For more information (including a C.J. Lines interview!), take a look at the Dark Scribe Magazine website!

This is a little late, as I think there’s a new issue out now, but you know how it is for us out here in the provinces. Anyway, my book, “Filth Kiss” got a positively glowing review in the prestigious Rue Morgue Magazine (June 2008). They said, amongst other things, “Lines’ writing style grips readers from the very first page and absolutely seethes with intense, visceral gore and morbid sexuality that will have you squirming in your seat.”

Fancy some of that?

It’s available in all good book stores…

“Filth Kiss” by C.J. Lines has run to a second printing, thanks to such demand both online and in high streets. There are a few first editions still available on Amazon.co.uk as of this writing, but they will be gone soon. Second printings should be available in all good book stores. C.J. would like to thank everyone who’s bought the book and taken a chance on a first novel by an unknown author.

C.J. Lines’s “Filth Kiss” - the book that made Gorezone magazine “step back from the gruesome insanity” - is now available in shops! You can buy it online at Amazon.co.uk, Borders, Foyles, Waterstones or WH Smith.

Early reviews have been enormously positive and the cover art, courtesy of Keith Burton (The Mouse Department) is simply wonderful. At £7.99 you can’t go wrong. See what all the fuss is about.

The forthcoming C.J. Lines novel, “Filth Kiss”, received a glowing review in this month’s GOREZONE magazine (#26, Dec ‘07)! Their book reviewer claims that it is “written with the style of a poetic genius. Don’t let the word poetic put you off; it’s just my way of saying ‘God, this guy can f**king write!’ and write with a viciousness you’ll have never encountered before.”

At the end of the review, it states that, “If you have a strong stomach and an open mind to controversy then you will want this book - you will marry this book and spend the rest of your twisted lives together.”
We at cjlines.com can’t say fairer than that.

So don’t forget! “Filth Kiss” is released on the 24th November 2007.

C.J. Lines will be at the Birmingham NEC on November 24th for the Memorabilia Fair to celebrate the launch of his novel “Filth Kiss”, released the same day.

There is an new audio interview with C.J. Lines up here:

The Bookfiend’s Kingdom have been conducting interviews with authors for some time and have an archive of these (including James Herbert, Clive Barker and Ian Rankin) which are being posted as podcasts on a new website. At the same time, they are trekking around the country interviewing new, up and coming authors for the same site.

A few weeks ago, Vicky Warren came up to London and we had a coffee and a long chat about books, the horror genre and all sorts of irrelevant weirdness. Somehow she managed to edit together an interview from this and it’s all up here to download:

The entire project is all in the name of charity and there’s information at the end of the podcast for how you can donate, should you wish, to help adults with autism. Do give it a listen and, if you like it, feel free to pass the link around. Ideally, I want to get more hits than Raymond Feist, who is previously the most downloaded podcast. He writes about dragons and therefore must be beaten.
