Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
Featuring twenty-three flash fiction stories, Calvin Demmer’s first collection, released under Unnerving’s imprint, covers genres including fantasy and science-fiction as well as horror. Described as a work that deals with emotions such as murder, fear, loss, death and revenge, it also features themes of love and survival. The collection is already receiving great reviews from a number of sources with This is Horror’s review also on the way. Demmer (Dark Celebrations) is one to watch. You can pre-order your copy here.
Terror Films, distributor of a wide range of horror film content, including documentaries and special editions, have begun streaming video content on Steam. It is hoped that this will enable them to expand their already huge audience and bring horror to more and more viewers. To view the Steam library of Terror Films content, click here.
