Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
Coming 4 September from Worde Horde is the new anthology, Fright into Flight. In this anthology, the first ever edited by Amber Fallon (The Terminal), readers will find stories by a phenomenal list of writers including Damien Angelica Waters, Gemma Files, Nadia Bulkin, Izzy Lee and more. The sixteen stories share two things in common. One is that the author is female and the other is that they all concern the topic of flight. If you want to pre-order your copy or simply take in the amazing table of contents, go over to Word Horde now.
As it gears up for its October release, indie game Infliction is picked out in Australia’s Pax showcase
Infliction is a horror game that’s a little different to the others out there on the market. It finds you in a family home, frighteningly realised through the latest Unreal engine. But the family tragedy has already happened. You are there simply to pick apart the pieces, trying to figure out what happened. Before long though, you realise that a being made of pure hate is close behind you. Set for release in October, in time for Halloween, Infliction is one to watch out for.
Not seeing why bands and video games should have all the fun, some leading horror presses have followed This is Horror’s lead and begun to sell merchandise. Sinister Grin Press’ merchandise site, over at Red Bubble, have a variety of shirts and hoodies available, featuring cover art from some of their hottest releases, like Exorcist Falls by Jonathan Janz and more besides. Check out the store here. Perpetual Motion Machine have set up shop on Teepublic and have some terrific-looking logo merchandise, which you can find here.
