Brite's have stayed in print, while others, like Brian Hodge, are bringing them back into print via e-publishing. I'll try and provide current availability to the titles- some, like Poppy Z. When THE LIST is done, I'll post a link to it. The nice thing about using google docs is there's a mobile ap for the spreadsheet, so it's always as close as my phone. I'm currently trying to make THE LIST of them, on google docs spreadsheet, so I can have a check list of the titles but also sort it by author, publication date, and because I'm crazy, ISBN number. making lemonade, however, that means there's a finite number of books to find. The line sadly came to an end in the late nineties. I've started finding the odd paperback around, a Melanie Tem here, a Brian Hodge there.
Lot price for the 28 titles, plus the press pack (note that extra shipping may apply).

Of course, that was part of Jeanne Cavelos' idea behind the imprint:"To be a part of the horror genre, all that's required is that the story evokes strong, dark emotions - anything from apprehension, fear, terror, horror, disgust, anger, despair, numbness, loss, morbid fascination, and disturbing thrills, to awe." For the most part, Facade succeeds. And cliched endings are practically part of the horror genre formula.
Yes, it feels contrived, but in a way that didn't seem cliched. The ending seemed hurried, like Rusch needed to wrap up the story within the conventions of the genre, and it doesn't not work. Rusch has a good handle on what's going on in his head- his disatisfaction with work, coupled with the loss of his daughter with the additional weight of being an outsider in a small town. But her background doesn't show, Facade having the feel of something closer to a crime thriller- almost James Pattersonish, back when he wrote his own books- up until an unearthly resolution. The local newpaper editor Jillian Maxwell aids Stanton in his recovery and investigation but she has reasons for coming to the small town that weigh upon her as well, least of which is her rebellious sister.įacade was the first horror novel from Rusch, a World Fantasy Award winning science fiction writer. The truth turns out to be much worse than he could imagine. He's in Oregon to get away from Hollywood and to try and understand his daughter's death. One of the murders occurred in his house, the previous tennant. Thomas Stanton is an actor on hiatus from filming a detective show after breaking his leg. Ostensibly, it's a mystery: In a small town on the Oregon coast, there have been murders going back years. I started with Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Facade (02/93).
