Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
New novella, the Cockroach King, out now from writer Andrew Cull and Beneath Hell Publishing
When Cassie Baker buys the house on Cedar Street, it’s partly because it reminds her of the house she grew up in in the ‘80s. It reminds her of happier times, when her Mom was still alive, before the cancer had taken her. It seems like the perfect place to raise her baby boy, Sam. That is, until a friend unearths the remains of a dog, buried in a shallow grave in the backyard. After the bones come the cockroaches … The Cockroach King is a new novella written by Andrew Cull, the award-winning author of Remains and Bones. All profits from sales of The Cockroach King will be donated to UNICEF. Available now, you can grab your copy here.
