Still Floating: 40 Years of Pennywise edited by Tom Deady

Releasing Sept 16, 2026

I saw this announced in Tom Deady's email newsletter and wanted to share it for others to find as well. Stephen King's IT is one of my all-time favorite reads. I mean, really, what's not to like about putting kids in mortal danger from inhuman AND human monsters?
 

"In Still Floating: 40 Years of Pennywise, Tom Deady (Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Haven) brings together thirty-three authors, artists, scholars, and publishers to examine IT in-depth, from King’s four-year writing of the novel to the recent adaptations, and everything in between."

Essays, artwork, interviews from the likes of Glenn Chadbourne, Richard Chizmar, Brian Freeman, Jonathan Janz, Paul Michael Kane, Hans-Ake Lilja, Bev Vincent, and Kris Webster among others....

Review: A Blade to Silence the Screams

A Blade to Silence the Screams by Tom Deady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Blade to Silence the Screams is a quick, fun read. I haven't read a lot of "old West horror" but Tom Deady really delivers in this ~85 page book, touching on both the horror of mental illness and more "traditional" horror elements. The town of Sundown is the perfect setting for the connected pair of novellas and showcases Deady's obvious love for westerns.
