Knopf Doubleday At Comic Con SDCC 2015 Booth 1520 Knopf Doubleday AUTHORS AT SDCC 2015 Jason Blum is an Emmy Award-winning producer who has ushered in a new dawn of horror with franchises like Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Insidious, and Sinister. Now he presents THE BLUMHOUSE BOOK OF NIGHTMARES: THE HAUNTED CITY (Doubleday, 7/7/2015) a stunning collection of original, terrifying fiction from a unique cast of 16 master storytellers including Eli Roth, Ethan Hawke, James DeMonaco, Mark Neveldine, Dana Stevens, Jeremy Slater, Scott Derrickson, and C. Robert Cargill. These provocative stories create the unforgettable cityscape for a new world of horror. Kevin Keating has received starred reviews for THE CAPTIVE CONDITION (Pantheon Books, 7/7/2015), including this from Library Journal “A weird and wonderfully rendered universe . . . . A highly literary look at the faces of evil in almost all of its guises . . . . Oh, and many characters here are constantly high on psychedelic carrot juice.” Emulating a modern day Edgar Allan Poe, coupled with the creepy brilliance of HBO’s True Detective, THE CAPTIVE CONDITION is at once chilling, deliciously dark, and quirkily hilarious. As a boilermaker turned author, Kevin has a fascinating and unique take on thriller writing. Kevin appears on the Horror/Thriller panel on Thursday, July 9 at 4 pm (Room 25ABC). Marisa Acocella Marchetto is the author of the critically acclaimed Cancer Vixen, and of her graphic novel debut, ANN TENNA (Alfred A. Knopf, 9/1/2015), Publishers Weekly hails “With art and writing in perfect harmony, Marchetto has crafted a warm romp of a story that’s a tribute to feminine fantasy and midlife transformation, with its heart worn boldly on a beautifully tailored sleeve.” Kirkus Reviews chimes in, calling ANN TENNA: “Zany with a touch of uplifting. You will be measurably hipper after reading it.”ANN TENNA, with full-color images throughout, is an incredibly fun, cosmic adventure about a gossip columnist in NYC who is brought face-to-face with her higher self, who challenges her to change her life for the better. Marisa appears on the Science Fiction & Sex panel on Friday, July 10 at 11:30 am (Room 24ABC).
