Read MoreBest-Selling Author Blake Crouch loves Resurrection Express
"A high-voltage blast! Stephen Romano's action scenes are light years ahead of the pack, fueled by muscular prose, terrifying villains, and Elroy Coffin—a protagonist for the ages. RESURRECTION EXPRESS is one of the finest examples I've encountered of noir's evolution into the 21st century."
—Blake Crouch, acclaimed author of Run, Snowbound, and Abandon
Read More—Blake Crouch, acclaimed author of Run, Snowbound, and Abandon
First Review for Resurrection Express, from the director of Phantasm!
"RESURRECTION EXPRESS is a rip snortin' white knuckle ride.A page-turner that sinks its teeth into you and won't let go. Stephen Romano has created a meal you will want to swallow whole—it's that hard to put down. His damaged protagonist, Elroy Coffin, is a compelling computer freak with criminal skills who you can't help but root for. A savage and vicious little tale that fans of Don Winslow will lap up. Highly recommended!"
--Don Coscarelli, award-winning director of cult classics PHANTASM, BUBBA HO TEP, and THE BEASTMASTER

Read MoreStephen Romano’s RESURRECTION EXPRESS explodes in 2012 from Simon and Schuster!
Gallery Books at Simon and Schuster have announced that my new high octane thriller novel RESURRECTION EXPRESS will bow in mid-September of 2012 in hardback. I’m really thrilled to be at Gallery Books because they do Stephen King now, and the imprint has a great pedigree. They were Pocket Books before they became Gallery, and they’ve got a lot of my heroes, like Don Winslow and James O’ Barr. Simon and Schuster was a great place to go after getting my feet wet at Little Brown, where I did BLACK LIGHT. But that book was a collaboration, and supernatural horror action stuff. This new one is a little more serious, a little less comic book. It has the same awesome narrative drive, but I’ve taken it to whole new level—and, of course, this one is all mine.
Read MoreBLACK LIGHT kicks in on OCTOBER 5th, in Collaboration with the Writers of the SAW FILMS!
I've just finished my commitment to BLACK LIGHT, a suspense-action novel written in collaboration with PATRICK MELTON and MARCUS DUNSTAN, the scribes responsible for the last four films in the SAW series. Begun in November of 2010, the BLACK LIGHT project was completed in record time, which meant no rest for the wicked on a brutal schedule . . . but the results are wild and epic, coming to a bookstore near you on OCTOBER 5th 2011, just in time for the Halloween season!
Read MoreSTARCRASH: SPECIAL EDITION
After thirty years, ROGER CORMAN’S CULT CLASSICS series presents the definitive video release of Luigi’s Cozzi’s notorious Italian STAR WARS/BARBARELLA mash-up, the one-and-only holy grail of “high class” exploitation films, STARCRASH! I am the co-producer of this lavish TWO DISC SPECIAL EDITION, featuring an all new high definition digital transfer of the film from the vaulted negative and a Dolby 5.1 soundtrack to rock your home speakers, re-mastered from the film’s original 4-track Dolby Stereo sound masters. I am a "known authority" of sorts on STARCRASH, having written the definitive “making of” book about the film (which was ultimately never published due to legal problems), and I brought some of that of knowledge and rare memorabilia to this special edition DVD set.
