John Pelan — author, editor and publisher of much renown — has mentioned COLD TO THE TOUCH in a recent interview with the website Hyraxia. When discussing Pelan's dormant imprint, Silver Salamander, he said:
The concept was the same as with Axolotl, collections or novellas by authors on the way up that I felt deserving of the attention of a special edition; something that says "Hey, this is important work, you need to check it out." Quite frankly, there are other people doing the same thing and doing it well.... Just for fun I'll list some of my colleagues and give you a title out of their catalog that would fit the definition of the type of thing I'd characterize as a SSP book:
Ash-Tree Press - A Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon Bestwick
Cemetery Dance - Blue November Storms - Brian Freeman
Night Shade Books - The Imago Sequence - Laird Barron
PS Publishing - Glyphotech - Mark Samuels
Subterranean Press - Dreadful Skin - Cherie Priest
Tartarus Press - Cold to the Touch - Simon Strantzas
It's flattering to be in such good company.
