DJSturbia is home to monsters.

All kinds of monsters, from skyscraper-sized Godzilla (twice!) to the microscopic space germ known as the Andromeda Strain.

Monsters human and inhuman, from fictional psycho killers to the real-life terrorists of 9/11.

Lovecraftian horrors. Extraterrestrial insects. Giant serpents. Gargoyles and ghosts. Gunfighters and assassins. The battlefield monstrosities known as Warbirds, the alien invaders called Black Widowers, and ― oh, yes ― a little critter named Bob.

Classic monsters lurk here, too: That Creature from That Lagoon. That Thing from Another World. Monsters living, monsters dead . . . and in-between.

David J. Schow’s newest collection features his usual lucky thirteen short stories ― shoot ‘em ups, horror noir, and surprises aplenty ― plus, for the first time, a poison-candy sampler of thirteen additional essays covering everything from The Crow to live snake-handling.

Now Shipping: HAVOC SWIMS JADED by David J. Schow


Havoc Swims Jaded? What the hell kind of title is that? What does it mean? It sounds vaguely . . . threatening, doesn’t it?

Havoc musters another lucky 13 short stories into the seventh collection of same by David J. Schow, who has won awards for this sort of behavior.

Havoc reigns as a bullet-filled criminal named Leadman goes totally aggro, and a prehistoric, Lagoony creature engages in mortal combat with his own evolved self.

Havoc ensues, as a time-displaced trio of friends find themselves lost in a trackless desert zone where there are no “signposts up ahead” at twilight. As your friendly TV remote control displays disturbing new functions. As changing your body image becomes as simple as donning a zip-up human suit.

Havoc cries forth the ghosts of the dogs of war as the Berlin Wall falls, in the novella-length “Dismantling Fortress Architecture.”

These and other dark tales of disturbance await the pleasure of your discomfiture. You will find, as Peter Straub said, that “here, all of Schow’s glittering weapons are sharper than ever before.”

But what does Havoc Swims Jaded mean, exactly?

You’ll have to open these pages to puzzle that one out for yourself. Sounds vaguely . . . threatening, doesn’t it?

Cimarron Street Books is pleased to bring you World Fantasy Award-winning author DAVID J. SCHOW's seventh short story collection, for the first time in paperback, featuring an updated afterword, an extensive essay on all-things Creature from the Black Lagoon, and now fully illustrated with the artwork of Woody Welch and Bernie Wrightson. Havoc Swims Jaded is the eleventh title in Cimarron Street’s massive reprint program of DAVID J. SCHOW's work. Collect ‘em all!

    Now Shipping: ZOMBIE JAM by David J. Schow


    Cimarron Street Books is pleased to exhume David J. Schow's collection ZOMBIE JAM in an all-new expanded edition, with even more illustrations by the best damned zombie artist around, the justly famous Bernie Wrightson!


    Zombie fiction is . . . well, dead.

    Want to know what it was like when it still had a heartbeat?

    Voila ― ZOMBIE JAM has finally crawled from its mouldering grave and landed right in your eager hands. Collected here are David J. Schow’s groundbreaking (heh), genre-bending short stories of the Zombie Apocalypse, before, during, and after. Included is “Jerry’s Kids Meet Wormboy,” probably the single greatest zombie story of all time ― and we dug up its original, longer, unexpurgated form.

    The full contents include:
    Introduction: The Meat of the Matter
     incursion 
    Blossom
    Pitt Night at the Lewistone Boneyard
     infection
    DONt WALK
    Obsequy 
     epidemic
    Where the Heart Was
    Jerry’s Kids Meet Wormboy
    Dying Words
     assimilation
    Williamson’s Folly
     terminus
    Afterword: Things to Do with the Dead 

    Here's what the critics have said about ZOMBIE JAM:
    • DarkEcho calls ZOMBIE JAM “a retrospective of Schow’s vivid zombie phase. No one else has ever done zombies exactly his way.”
    • Booklist called the collection “ghoulish fun!”
    • Publisher’s Weekly added: “Thanks to bouncy prose and an incisive wit, Schow makes even the outrageous and grisly morsels of Grand Guignol seem palatable.”
    • Sarah Meador of Rambles called it “the perfect testament to the horror of these voiceless eating machines . . . Even if you’ve read all the stories of ZOMBIE JAM in original release ― and you’re probably lying if you say you have ― you need this book.”

    Now Shipping: MONSTER MOVIES by David J. Schow

    Do monsters have down time? 

    What happens when the movie is over, the TV is clicked off, and the “normal” world resumes? 

    What happens when monster movies transcend the 20th Century limitations of celluloid and sprocket holes, or when a night at the movies becomes more real than you ever suspected? 

    Screens can be two-way streets. 


    Cimarron Street Books is proud to bring you World Fantasy Award winner David J. Schow’s Monster Movies — a celebration of staying up past bedtime for Shock Theatre marathons, the gospel of horror hosts and the curriculum vitae of monster magazines, the sculpting of raw light through film stock, and the afterlife of Gothic shamblers, shrinking men, and Creatures from certain Lagoons. But what you find at the crossroads of reel and reality isn’t always rosy nostalgia . . . sometimes, it can eat you alive. 

    Includes the Dimension Award-winning story “Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You.” 

    Introduction by Greg Nicotero, Executive Producer of Creepshow and The Walking Dead, and co-owner of KNB EFX Group.

    Featuring a cover painting by renowned movie poster illustrator Reynold Brown (Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Creature from the Black Lagoon).
