Okay, the flogging is almost over. Peeps comes out today.
Go buy it, or the small child visits you!

As you can see, my website has had its first makeover in many years. This is to celebrate the fact that my first new series in years, Leviathan, comes out this autumn. (October 6, to be exact.)
Things may be wonky for a while as we play around under the hood. But I hope you enjoy the new look. Let me know what you think!

Must… read… Peeps…
Unfortunately, it’s one in the morning and I can’t rush out to buy it :’(
Well, it’ll definately ease the suffering of back to school time.

Heya Scott,
I love that photo – great scary stuff!
In fact, I loved it so much, I’ve put a copy on my blog (with acknowledgement of course). I’ll also update the HorrorScope web log about Peeps’ imminent release. I hope it’s a mega success!

That has got to be the creepiest photo I’ve ever seen. Beautiful. Plan to pick up PEEPS in the next day or two…

You should have seen what she looked like before I wiped the blood off her incisors.

Awhh . . . A father’s work is never done.

Also, Shane, John (creator and owner throughout eternity of said photo) says feel free to repost to your heart’s content, provided you commit no alterations other than resizing. As may you all.
As should you all.

You know, that picture doesn’t get any less creepy each time I look at it.
I spread the word about this at my own blog too, Scott. Yay Peeps!
August 25th, 2005 10:43
That pic is awesome, disturbing yet strangely fascinating all at once.

Now we know why “Ghost Brigades” is late. Stop f***ing with PhotoShop and get back to work, John!
August 25th, 2005 11:50
“Ghost Brigades” will be late only if it doesn’t come out on time, Bill. So nyah.

Hi, I just found your website. I absolutely ADORED “Uglies” and can’t wait for the next.
However, I must lament your timing. I have a deadline on Wednesday for my first novel, and it’s not *quite* done, and I’m off to buy and read PEEPS anyway. Because, well, see above.
Thanks heaps.

I am an employee at an independent bookstore in Tampa, FL and I had a chance to read Peeps after the BEA conference. I loved Uglies and was excited to get my hands on another one of your titles and even though I have never been a big vampire fan, I absolutely loved it! Since we are a small bookstore we get to pick our favorite new titles each month to recommend to our customers, so if you want to read my review check out our website after Sept. 1st!

This is, honest to god, the most disturbing photo I’ve seen all day. Sheesh.
August 25th, 2005 20:00
I’m so excited it’s out! Now my friend Kelsey can GIVE ME BACK MY ARC and buy her own! Wow. That picture scared the crap out of me. It sounds like one of those threat IM things I get all the time. “Pass this along, or the dead girl who sent this will visit you during the night.” *shiver* That’s one freaky picture……. I’m so saving it.

So I can’t fully join in the revelry of Peeps Week. But it certainly starts out well. And Gwenda is a woman of excellent taste, and she [...]

Hey there! I have read “The Midnighters” series and “The Uglies”. All I can do is drop hints about “Peeps” for now seeing as my birthday is in three days. I had a question about “The Uglies”: Did you get at least a teeny-tiny bit of your idea for the book from the “Twilight Zone”? The episode “Number Twelve Looks Just Like You” is eerily “The Uglies” this only applies if you watch the “Twilight Zone”. I love your work!!
August 26th, 2005 11:22
are you reading in the city at all? at Books of Wonder, for example?
August 26th, 2005 11:59
Wow. I hope my if i ever have a little girl that it looks like her!! great work. and cant wait to read the book.
August 26th, 2005 12:23
Laura: Thanks for the review. Can’t wait to read it.
Carolynn: There are actually two Twilight Zones about cosmetic surgery. Rod Serling was, after all, a chain-smoking New Yorker transplanted to Los Angeles while he was doing that show, and I think he got obsessed by Los Angelans being obsessed with their looks. And yeah, I do remember “Number Twelve” now, I think. Although that’s more your everyone-is-changed-to-look-the-same plot. Sometimes I think Uglies is a combination of that plot, the Tripods series, and Fahrenheit 451. But with hoverboards.
Shana: Yes, me and the owner of Books of Wonder are trying to work out a date in October.
August 26th, 2005 21:02
Yeah, it wouldn’t be the same without the hoverboards.
August 27th, 2005 06:14
Wow. Went out yesterday at like 8pm and bought it, and now, saturday at 6 am am finished. I LOVED IT. All of your novels are brillant. Can’t wait for Pretties and Midnighters 3! Thank you for sharing your work with us!
