New collection by Ramsey, from Dark Regions Press. All new stories, Ramsey, or some reprints as well? | ||

Fingers crossed they're new! | ||

I seem to have read somewhere this title was to be a PS Publishing imprint. From the DRP website I gather "Holes for Faces" will only be sold as part of a six books batch at the remarkable price of USD 210.00! What if I am not interested in the excess five books? I find it unfair being forced to shell the big sum out with only one book out of six as my target. Maybe contacting DRP can lead to an agreement for buying just one's favourite title. Otherwise, it's adieu to "Holes for Faces" (as far as my money bag allows!) | ||

Don't worry, Giancarlo - Holes for Faces will be available singly as well. They're mostly reprints. | ||

Is Holes For Faces an allusion to that great line in 'The Guide', Ramsey? | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.152.62.175 |
I'm not sure about that title, mind. It's not really underlining Ramsey's best qualities or accomplishments. But hey ho, winning over new readers etc. | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 09-2010 Posted From: 86.151.109.99 |
I seriously think it is a great title, Tony. Like your story 'The Holes'?;) And my cover for 'Agra Aska'? | ||
| Ramsey Campbell (Ramsey) Username: Ramsey Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 92.8.20.244 |
No indeed, Gary - it's a new tale, previously unpublished. | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.152.62.175 |
Des - Ah yes, maybe... Sometimes a title doesn't make sense or is fully effective until you've read the story. | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.156.210.82 |
I think it's a brilliant title - and I, too, assumed it was an allusion to The Guide. | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.156.210.82 |
As a slight aside, Dark Regions Press produces some bloody gorgeous books. | ||

Hi, Ramsey! When "Holes for Faces" is available as a single book, will you post about it in the News section of the Forum? Here in Rome I feel a little stranded with respect to the main flow of English language horror books. Thank you. Giancarlo | ||
| Ramsey Campbell (Ramsey) Username: Ramsey Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 92.8.22.143 |
I will! | ||
| Giancarlo (Giancarlo) Username: Giancarlo Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 2.195.107.148 |
Thanks a lot, Ramsey! I'll be looking forward to it! | ||
| Giancarlo (Giancarlo) Username: Giancarlo Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 2.192.0.189 |
Still nothing on the horizon about "Holes for Faces"? Beside DRP, was it not going to be published by PS Publishing too, as stated on the Author's page, or have they changed their mind? | ||
| Ramsey Campbell (Ramsey) Username: Ramsey Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 92.8.21.140 |
Nothing yet, Giancarlo. It'll be DRP - no reflection on PS, who have any amount of my stuff to publish! | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.176.179.114 |
Ooh!  | ||
| Giancarlo (Giancarlo) Username: Giancarlo Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 109.52.123.192 |
So it seems it's coming out from DRP as a single book too, after all! Signed De Luxe and limited hardcover editions first (December 4th) and other, probably paperback, editions at a later date. Or so I seem to understand. Hallo, Ramsey, is that correct? | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 09-2010 Posted From: 86.146.239.121 |
That's a great cover. Santiago Caruso has also done artwork for Ex Occidente Press, such as the Peacock Escritoire by Mark Valentine and Tarshishim by Ron Weighell. | ||

Shame, but better late... | ||
| Giancarlo (Giancarlo) Username: Giancarlo Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 109.54.79.51 |
Not published yet. It should have been out on 7 May 2013 from Dark Regions Press (according to their blog), but no news on their blog or website...!? | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.151.6.51 |
I see it's now due in August, according to the email I just received. | ||
| Giancarlo (Giancarlo) Username: Giancarlo Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 109.52.48.180 |
So we'll have to stretch our necks till then, if not even longer. Btw, Eddy C. Bertin's collection "The Whispering Horror" is out now from Shadow Publishing. There are awesome stories there! | ||

| Carolinec (Carolinec) Username: Carolinec Registered: 06-2009 Posted From: 92.237.187.186 |
Mine's on order .. along with The Last Revelation of Gla'aki. | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.168.136.30 |
Just about to start 'Holes...' - I read Gla'aki the other week and loved it! | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.168.136.30 |
I bought Holes for Faces from Amazon, presuming they'd imported it from the US, but last night noticed it said "Printed in Great Britain by Amazon.co.uk" inside the rear cover. I guess this is why it was a little over £9 rather than the £17 it would have cost me to ship from the US from Dark Regions Press directly. It doesn't worry me that this is the case but I've not noticed that in other books before - I shall keep an eye out for it. | ||

Pardon me asking, and so late in the day at that, but assuming most of the stories in this volume (which I don't yet own) are reprints, would anyone tell me where the stories are collected from? Are they from various anthologies which I almost certainly don't own, or am I likely to have them already in other books of Ramsey's? | ||
| Lincoln (Lincoln_brown) Username: Lincoln_brown Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 101.119.29.13 |
Hey Patrick - there are a few stories that were published as limited edition chapbooks, the rest appeared in various anthologies, and there's one new story. A lot can be found in many of the 'Years Best' anthologies. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Ramsey. So, no, sounds like you wouldn't have them already. Would be easier to buy this collection, than try to track the stories down individually. Plus, it's always good to have Ramsey's tales collected together. Lincoln. | ||
