Dan Wells burst into the Horror scene back in 2010 with his debut novel, I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER. The novel introduced readers to John Cleaver, a teenager who knows he has all the tendencies of becoming a serial killer. The first trilogy continued with the novels, MR. MONSTER, then I DON’T WANT TO KILL YOU. Though he later went on to write the YA Dystopian Partials series, and the YA Cyberpunk Mirador series, his John Cleaver novels remain our favorites here at Vault Books.

Because of how much we love these novels, we are thrilled to announce we will be producing a Limited Edition Omnibus of the first three John Cleaver novels. In addition to all the content of the novels, all in one, hardback, leatherbound edition, the John Cleaver Omnibus will contain an all new short story set after the events of the first trilogy. This will be the only place to get this full collection in one volume.

If you’ve been paying attention to the Horror genre the last couple of years, the name Mercedes Murdock Yardley has likely come to your attention. There are few Horror authors these days who have the talent in the arena of short fiction like Yardley does, and this was made absolutely clear with her winning of the Bram Stoker Award for her novelette, Little Dead Red.

We simply couldn’t resist publishing a collection of Yardley’s short fiction, and we knew we had to include her Bram Stoker winning story, Little Red Dead. This collection will, for the first time, collect her best stories for her fans, and for connoisseurs of short, horror fiction. We couldn’t be more excited to produce this Limited Edition.

Dan Wells is known for his YA Dystopian Partials series, is YA Cyberpunk Mirador series, and his John Cleaver horror novels. If you’ve read these novels, you know that under all of that is a wonderful sense of humor – equally silly as it is dark. In this vein, Vault Books is thrilled to bring to you the first ever print-edition of Wells’ humorous, farcical historical horror novel, A Night of Blacker Darkness.

Wrongly imprisoned, Frederick Whithers is desperate to commit the crime he's already being punished for: defrauding the bank out of a vast inheritance. He fakes his death to escape, but when he's seen climbing out of a coffin everyone assumes he's a vampire; when he shows none of the traditional vampire weaknesses, they decide he must be the most powerful vampire in the history of the world. Half horror and half farce, Frederick's tale is an ever-growing avalanche of bankers, constables, graverobbers, poets, ghouls, morticians, vampires, vampire hunters, not to mention some very unfortunate rabbits.
