Lividian Publications is pleased to offer our Deluxe Signed & Traycased Lettered Edition of THEM by W.H. Chizmar. This deluxe special edition has been lavishly crafted with collectors in mind. Vincent Chong provided six stunning interior  illustrations, along with a full-color frontispiece,  making this special edition a true work of art. The books were printed separately from the Limited Edition on an upgraded 80# acid-free paper using a four-color press. Our case maker then constructed the matching clamshell case to house and protect the book. This is only the second time we’ve offered a Lettered Edition with this style of sprayed edges designed to play off the custom endpapers, which really ties the entire production together. It also represents our first 26 copy Lettered Edition, the print run that many of our future titles are moving toward to increase collectibility.

About the Book:
A top-secret government project hits upon a revolutionary idea for transporting matter across the vast reaches of the universe, and they succeed in bringing something back. Something alive. Something alien. They bring back THEM.

Mankind’s reign atop the food chain comes to an abrupt halt when a tractor trailer hauling a mustard-yellow shipping container mysteriously overturns and rolls off the highway, unleashing THEM upon an unsuspecting New England countryside. America soon falls, and the world follows.

Years later, one man emerges from the rubble of humanity, seeking other survivors and a shred of hope amidst an eerie and lonely landscape. He travels by night up the rural East Coast, discovering Americana ruins and encountering monsters the likes of which no human has survived before. Scarred and molded by the horrors of the new natural order, the man must face his own dwindling humanity, and pray that any other survivors have not become monsters themselves.

THEM is the spectacular debut novel by W.H. Chizmar, an exciting new voice in dark fiction. This story of survival and responsibility presents sobering questions about what it means to be human and will stick with you long after the final page.
