Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …

Five new additions to the ‘Short Sharp Shocks’ range from Demain publishing, have been released in the last few weeks, including stories by CC Adams, Yolanda Sfetsos and R. J. Meldrum. Following on from previous Demain releases, including works from Dan Howarth, Calvin Demmer, Eric Hofstatter and Stephanie Ellis, these short releases, intended to be read in a single sitting, are kindle-only, available for the price of £0.99 or $1.29, depending on your location. You can view all of the titles, here.
Hot on the heels of the acclaimed first book in the series, Fire & Rain comes book two, Water & Wind. John F. D. Taff’s vision of the apocalypse continues where book one left off and the critical response has been at least as strong as it was for the first title. Josh Malerman (Bird Box) says “The Fearing isn’t only John F.D. Taff’s best book to date, it’s the kind you put on the shelf reserved for the ones that really did something to you, emotionally, intellectually, physically.” The Fearing Book Two: Water & Wind is available for pre-order now. Get your copy, here.
