July 27, 2011 –Cincinnati–  For readers eagerly looking for the latest—and best—in original horror fiction, international publisher Samhain Publishing, Ltd. has announced its October 2011 launch lineup for its new Samhain Horror fiction imprint.

With this highly anticipated launch, Don D’Auria, Executive Editor for Samhain Horror (www.samhainhorror.com), seeks not only to serve horror fiction’s diverse and loyal audience—but to expand it. “To me, this new line represents the perfect partnership of my enthusiasm and respect for the horror genre with a cutting-edge publishing company known for its innovation and  supportive attitude toward authors,” D’Auria explains. “Given Samhain’s established track record in ebook and trade sales, I can’t wait to bring the best horror fiction to an even wider audience than before.”
