Come with me as I revisit one of the darkest books in the LB library, THE RESURECTIONIST by Wrath James White. Įach month, I will read or re-read a novel from the vast Leisure Books catalog. From the late greats Jack Ketchum and Richard Laymon to upstart newbies (at the time) such as Brian Keene, Ronald Malfi, and Sarah Pinborough, the list is huge and amazing. ![]() ![]() They were led by acquisition editor extraordinaire, Don D’Auria (Samhain Publishing, Flame Tree Press) and rostered some of the greatest horror writers of our time.
