Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
Out now from Clan Destine Press and editor Alan Baxter, Damnation Games, an anthology of supernatural horror and crime
A horde of criminally good horror writers took a walk down the mean streets of crime. Their task: to make your blood run cold, to scare you witless and to make your skin crawl. The rising dread of a good mystery doesn’t need anything supernatural to keep you on the edge of your seat. But put the two together – crime fiction and horror – and all sorts of nasty business can come out of the woodwork. Sometimes literally. The stories herein include urban monsters, outback ghosts, contemporary lawyers, near-future police, and Victorian era mathematicians. Available now in hardcover, paperback and eBook editions, you can grab your copy here.
Available now from Creature Publishing and editors Roxie Voorhees and Nico Bell, Mine: An Anthology of Body Autonomy Horror
Bodily transformation. Possession of the body. Forced disembodiment. A baby consumes its mother in utero. Unrealistic postpartum expectations turn deadly. A witch avenges the voiceless. These 16 original horror stories explore the ownership and control-or lack thereof-that we have over our bodies. Available now in paperback and eBook editions, you can pick up your copy here.
Arriving 17 January from writer D. W. Hitz and Fedowar Press, Bloodtooth
After nightmares begin in the small town of Custer Falls, Montana, in 1992, it’ll be thirty years before they end. Just outside of Custer Falls, something is sleeping. Life in the small town was never ideal, but it was safe, quiet, and predictable. After Wes Henson and his friends’ field trip to Bloodtooth Caverns, all of that changes. All they did was stray off the path. They didn’t expect to break their bones and discover an ancient relic. But once it’s in Wes’s hands, he’s the one that has to put it back. Until he does, the town’s nightmares are no longer harmless. The good side of your conscience may go quiet as the devil on your shoulder speaks up. Children fall into comas, while adults are torn to pieces in their sleep. If Wes and his friends want to survive, they’ll have to conquer the waking world and the dreamscape. Because when this evil is awake, no one’s dreams are safe. Available for pre-order now in eBook, with a paperback edition to follow, you can guarantee your copy here.
