The name sounded familiar, then I remembered Brian Keene mentioned they were terminated from selling on Horror Mall for violating seller’s terms (more info here. I don't know how serious it is.
I wasn't sure if it was relevant but my first thought was it might have an impact on sales. I don't know how big Horror Mall is.I don't see how the issues around inter-retailer relationships are necessarily an indicator of how author/publisher relationships will go--except that I would be leery of working with a publisher who publicly admitted to violating a contract with another publisher/retailer. "If HorrorMall, why not me?" would be my own thought processes. Perhaps they will do something to redeem the situation.
