The Independent Publisher Book Awards (the “IPPY” awards) are conducted annually to honor the year’s best independently published titles. This year’s awards attracted 4,090 entries throughout the US and Canada, plus most English-speaking countries worldwide. Past IPPY award successs stories include The Millionaire Next Door, a winner in the inaugural 1997 awards contest, which has sold more than 2.5 million copies and spawned off-shoots including The Millionaire Mind.

According to Jim Barnes, Managing Editor and Awards Director @ IndependentPublisher.com, here is a sampling of judges’ comments offering strong praise for Bone Chiller:

"Good stuff, well-written and well-drawn. Good gory fun!"

"A real grab-bag of chilling tales, written with a good sense of humor and great timing."

"I like the variety of artists. This is a fun book."

“Winning this award is a huge feather in our cap,” says Mr. Heske. “Our Cold Blooded Chillers series has received stellar reviews posted on USAToday.com, Project FanBoy, ComicMonsters, Broken Frontier, Comic News, Comics Bulletin and a host more. But having the IPPY medal on the cover of Bone Chiller brings instant credibility to booksellers and horror fans, and is a tribute to the quality work of the contributing artists and letterists.”

Cover art on Bone Chiller was created by Preston Asevedo. Stories were illustrated by Asevedo, Zeu (Infiniteens), Reno Maniquis (Wall of Angels), Monty Borror (Addicts), Dirk Shearer (Necromancer), Adam Swiecki (The Reborn Legends), Alain Norte and Breno Tamura (The Secret Cross). Letterists were Alain Norte, David Paul and Jesse James Wroblewski.

"This trade stood out to me a bit more than some others because each story was really different from the next," raved Dan Royer of From the Tomb Magazine. "Overall, a great collection and a must have for a horror fan."

Across the pond in the UK, Terry Hooper of ComicBitsOnline.com, a comic blogger and local comic book store owner, concurs. "Seriously, buy this book because it will be a collectors item. Tell your friends you were into Heske's Cold Blooded Chillers before it became BIG!"
