Attention all Horror, Scifi, and Fantasy readers: if you aren't aware of Cemetery Dance Publications yet, you should be ashamed of yourself. They are an amazing small publishing house that cultivates both new and bestselling genre authors, as well as putting out Cemetery Dance magazine a few times a year. Their books are HIGHLY collectible and are almost all tiny print runs, illustrated, and/or signed limited editions. You can't beat it. And, if you preorder, they give you free shipping. Who doesn't love free shipping? Especially from a small publisher. It's unheard of.
Some of their best stuff is in their famous Grab Bag sales. These are random things that they have lying around their warehouses and sell to us for ridiculously cheap ($39 for 3 hardcover, signed limited editions usually). And if you are on their mailing list, you get advance notice of almost everything before it gets announced to the general public, and usually get some sort of discount. I'm a member of the Collector's Club and some of the initial discounts have been stellar. I'm not ashamed to say that I have spent WAY more money than I probably should have in the last 3 months, but don't tell my husband. That is what having a separate bank account is for.
They publish everyone from Stephen King (they did the true first edition of this year's huge hit, Blockade Billy, that caused his normal publisher, Scribner, to put out a cheaper version for the masses since there was such demand) to Peter Straub to Richard Matheson, and many many more. Most of their titles sell out within a few days of announcement and are very hard to get aftermarket. They have been also known to sell a few editions from Subterranean Press or Donald Grant, but not very often.
In case you have been living under a rock for the last couple years, the newest trend in YA literature has moved from vampires (and somewhat away from zombies as well) to dystopian/post apocalyptic themed books. Bestsellers like the Hunger Games Trilogy (Scholastic), Chaos Walking Trilogy (Candlewick), and Susan Beth Pfeffer's Life As We Knew It trilogy (HMH) have totally changed the market, much like Harry Potter did when those first came out. This has paved the way for a welcome resurgence in smart, well written fantasy for young adults and adults alike. 
Many of this fall's biggest titles are coming from one publisher: Penguin. They have become more and more cognizant of the trends of the market in the last couple years and have shifted gears accordingly, but all the while, not flooding it with crap. Titles like Catherine Fisher's Incarceron (and the upcoming Sapphique), Brenna Yovanoff's Replacement, Ally Condie's Matched, and the much awaited title from Beth Revis, Across the Universe (one of the BEST first chapters that I have read in a long time and a phenomenal cover; I can't wait to see an ARC!) are all extremely well written in a genre that is notorious for mass produced junk when it comes to trends. These books are smart, funny, emotionally gripping, and although they might deal with some adult themes, are perfectly toned for the younger set but still great reads for those of us who refuse to grow up. They take place in well-drawn alternate worlds and futures but don't focus on the extraneous like some authors try to do. (Really? Do you think that a teenage really cares about all of the science? Save it for the adults who like Michael Crichton. If kids want science overwhelming the story, they will just read Jurassic Park.) They also deal with issues that most kids deal with (although in a different way) like ethics, good vs. evil, and the ever present young love. Get on the hold list now at your local library because once these titles come out, it will be hard to get them for a while. Better yet, order them from your local indie bookstore and help your community by keeping your money there.
