Humor Author Publishes First "Serious" Thriller

Jeff Strand, author of the acclaimed humorous thrillers GRAVEROBBERS WANTED (NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY), SINGLE WHITE PSYCHOPATH SEEKS SAME, and CASKET FOR SALE (ONLY USED ONCE) announces his first "serious" novel, PRESSURE, a psychological thriller now available for pre-order from Earthling Publications.

PRESSURE features a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Michael (MORTAL FAULTS) Prescott. "Jeff Strand's PRESSURE is an ominous, disturbing study of two lives closely interwoven from childhood onward in an elaborate tapestry of vengeance, paranoia, and death," says Prescott. "A chilling, flesh-crawling experience. I read it in one sitting and haven't been the same since!" New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston calls PRESSURE "an outstanding novel, impossible to put down."

Earthling Publications (winner of the 2003 Bram Stoker Award for Best Specialty Press) is known for lavishly produced limited editions of suspense and horror. Though PRESSURE will receive that treatment in the form of 26-copy lettered and 150-copy numbered signed editions, PRESSURE will also be the first Earthling title to be published as a trade hardcover.

"PRESSURE is an unforgettable and exceptionally well-written thriller with potentially large mainstream appeal, and we wanted to get it into the hands of as many people as possible," says Earthling Publications owner Paul Miller. "By adding an affordably priced trade hardcover edition to the print run, we're able to satisfy both collectors and readers."
