Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
Available now from writer Conrad Williams and Absinthe Books, Remnant
Snæfellsjökull has revealed a secret; an artefact buried in the ice that no one can explain. When Claire is invited along to the excavation in her capacity as a glacial archaeologist, she leaps at the chance. With a recent break-up still very fresh in her mind, she needs a new start and hopes this is it.
As the excavation progresses, Claire realises that this assignment is very different from what she imagined, and secrets are everywhere; not all of them buried. As the ghosts of her past become enmeshed in her very dangerous present, who knows what will happen, and what further mysteries will be revealed?
An outstanding Arctic tale of the supernatural, The Remnant certainly ramps up the chills. Available now in an unsigned jacketed hardcover edition, as well as a signed edition limited to 100 copies, you can grab your copy here.

Once upon a time, a woman thought she made peace with her grief. As she tended the dying land, she befriended a fox: a symbol that reminded her of her beloved father who died at the hands of a selfish doctor. But grief is perennial and after she loses her new friend, she discovers hope was just an illusion, too. Magic meanders back into her life and with it, a hunger for retribution unlike any felt before. Available for pre-order now in eBook, with other editions to follow, you can guarantee your copy here.

On a stag party in a remote part of the Lake District, four old university friends are dragged into a bizarre local ritual. Immersed in a fight for their lives – only one of them is guaranteed to make it home…
Fifteen years after graduation, four old university friends get together to celebrate Luke’s stag party. Tucked away in a remote village in the Lake District, they expect a weekend of real ale, log fires and gentle hikes – but a stag party of locals have other ideas.
Unwillingly drawn into one-upmanship and animosity, the four friends find themselves being hunted across unfamiliar ground in a game of deadly consequences. With only one of them guaranteed to survive, old wounds and resentments threaten to tear them apart as much as their pursuers.
