Summer Newsletter
Everybody!
Thanks for your continued interest, and for the new people on this list, thanks for signing up!
I've got a few things to report. First, my daughter was born two weeks ago, and I'll be spending some time getting to know her this summer, so these newsletters will be less frequent until Audrey's Door is released in stores on October 1. Around then, you'll find a new and improved website, some contests, a super-awesome trailer, an amazon.com spotlight review of Audrey's Door by a secret surprise guest, and lots of other cool stuff, so mark your calendars, and as always, pre-order at will! http://www.harpercollins.com/book/pre-order.aspx?isbn13=9780061624216
In other news, I'll be at the Toronto Festival of the Arts on June 6 at 7:30 pm, along with my hero Patrick McGrath (Asylum, The Grotesque) and Monique Proulx. It'll be a panel, signing, reading combo-- three for the price of one! So please come on down if you're in town: http://www.luminato.com/2009/events/21
In addition, I'm thrilled to report that Audrey's Door has been optioned for film by the Weinstein Company. They like it, and so do the following gracious authors:
“A chilling and perceptive novel about the architectures of our lives: how they’re built, and how we destroy them.” — Michael Marshall
“Sarah Langan is an audaciously terrifying storyteller, and AUDREY’S DOOR practically hums with frantic energy and hair-raising tension. Be prepared for nightmares.”
— Tess Gerritsen, author of THE KEEPSAKE
“A chiller that evokes Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby. Eerie and suspenseful, with a compelling heroine and a terrifying setting, AUDREY’s DOOR grabbed me from the start. Whenever I see Sarah Langan’s name on a cover, I pay attention.”
— David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Shimmer
Finally, my short story "The Lost" has been nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. Keep your fingers crossed, and take a gander at the rest of the ballot:
