Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
Out now from writer John Boden and Cemetery Dance Publications, The Etiquette of Booby Traps

Here they are stories; small, sturdy and surprising in their levels of camouflage and damage.
The stories are short and scattered in theme and setting but mind where you step, for they have sharp edges and hair triggers and a few of them bite hard. Available now in eBook and paperback editions, you can pick up your copy here.

New from author Ken Brosky and Unnerving, Bad River
Eli Nelson’s farm is on the verge of ruin, and the last thing he needs is a dead cow. But when an animal expert from the local university investigates, she makes a horrifying discovery: whatever killed this cow has a horrible disease.
Is it a bear? A wolf? Locals believe it’s the Beast of Bray Road, a legendary monster that roams this quiet Illinois county—a county notorious for its haunted past, one filled with accusations of witchcraft and Satanism.
Eli Nelson and Dr. Mackenzie Wright must find answers before the killer’s disease progresses…and before one of the worst storms in Illinois history reaches them. Available now in eBook and paperback editions, you can grab your copy here.
