  Blood Night

  No reviews yet

  No reason. No remorse. It's June, 1987, and a man in a pale mask has come to Elden Mills. He drove in after dark, found an unlocked door, and let Chance decide who died first. No grudge. No agenda. A coin flip, a hammer, and an appetite for blood that doesn't stop even when the screams do. Morgan Bell hasn't been back to Elden Mills since the night everything broke inside her. Two years of running — wrong men, bad choices, a life built on avoidance — and she's finally ready to go home, face her family, and try to put herself back together. What she doesn't know is that something far worse than memory is waiting in the dark. The town is already bleeding. The streets fill with sirens. And the man with the hammer is just getting started. Blood Night is a brutal, character-driven slasher for readers who want their horror to hit bone — the kind that doesn't offer reasons, doesn't offer comfort, and doesn't let anyone out unscathed.

  Feast of the Unclean

  No reviews yet

  Alabama, 1925. Chicago enforcer Jack Carmelo just put five men in the ground with a fire axe. When Capone ships him south to manage a moonshiner and let the heat die down, the job looks manageable. Jericho Springs is not manageable. People are vanishing from a dying forest. The ones they find are barely recognizable — flesh split open in patterns that shouldn't exist, eyes emptied of everything human. The locals whisper about witches. About a rot spreading through the soil that no season can cleanse. Jack doesn't believe in witches. He believes in guns, leverage, and the cold math of violence. He believes the problem has a name: Henry Dunn — a Klan psychopath running fake Prohibition raids and leaving bodies in his wake. He's half right. Three sisters are returning to the Alabama dark — beings older than anything that has a name. They don't want power. They don't want worship. They want the world to end in blood and screaming. They have been waiting a long time. For fans of Laird Barron's backwoods dread and Christopher Buehlman's Those Across the River.

  Black Tidings: Carols of the Profane

  No reviews yet

  A horror advent calendar for adults: 25 stories, one for every day from December 1st to Christmas. Something is wrong with the carolers. You’ve heard these songs a thousand times. In grocery stores, in cars, in the background of every holiday memory you’ve ever made. You know them the way you know your own heartbeat. They make you feel safe. That’s about to change. Black Tidings: Carols of the Profane is a collection of stories built on the bones of beloved Christmas carols. Each one dismantled, desecrated, and handed back to you in bleeding, torn scraps. Read one a day, or devour them all at once. Either way, by the time you’re done, the holidays will never sound quite the same. You were warned.
