The world of man was brought to its knees with the zombie apocalypse. A hundred and fifty years have passed since man has clawed and climbed his way from the brink of extinction. Civilization has rebooted, man has begun to rebuild, to create communities and society. It is on this fragile new shaky ground that a threat worse than the scourge of the dead has sprung. One man finds himself once again thrust into the forefront of a war he wants nothing to do with and seemingly cannot win. Follow along as Michael Talbot attempts to thwart the rise of the werewolf.

It is 1914. Dr Joseph Aymon returns to his youthful haunts in Transylvania where he used to accompany the famous vampire-killer, Professor Van Helting, on his vampire hunts. One of Joseph's aims is to discover the whereabouts of Bella, his first and only love, who vanished years ago, in mysterious circumstances… His quest brings him into contact with a host of characters: the daunting, chilling figure of Count Drace; his voluptuous wife, the Countess; her thin-lipped, haughty and depraved niece, Grimelda; the enigmatic, beguiling figure of the Mother Superior of the local convent; Thomas, the man-servant harbouring a shocking secret... In a world fast throwing off belief in mythical monsters and medieval terrors, Joseph is on a personal quest to prove the existence of vampires. The new sciences have mercilessly dismissed the old certainties of evil and purity which Joseph and his master still cling to. Joseph is eager to rehabilitate his and the Professor's reputation. He can't wait to come face-to-face with the Undead, and prove all his detractors wrong... Will Joseph find what he's looking for, and, if he does, will that discovery bring him release, justification, more derision, or plain, unadulterated horror? A vampire story like no other…

Conspiracy of Blood.

Holly smiled at the wrong person and soon found herself on a bloodstained road to madness. A paranormal urban fantasy.

Holly's life is like that of thousands of others in the city trying to make their way outside the mainstream. She's an artist striving to survive, and then she meets someone who changes everything. Beth slides seamlessly into Holly's life and inducts her into ancient rituals that challenge the core of Holly's beliefs and ultimately drive her towards insanity. Only her sister and a worn out police officer teetering on the brink of a breakdown can help, but even they struggle to prevent an outcome that has been ordained for millennia.

This is a serious story.

A serious, grimly dark short story of hilarious misery.

SUGGESTED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES: Contains coarse language, violence and candid descriptions of the genitalia of various fantasy races.

In a peaceful land of lush prosperity, an ancient eight-tentacled evil has risen to wreck unfathomable havoc. A simple, unassuming warrior named Huckle gathers together the bravest and most dysfunctional band of heroes in the kingdom to battle the beast, but they are fated only for the direst of suffering and failure.

The only way to defeat a monster of this magnitude is with an even more horrifying monster...

Huckle goes to hell and back and back again in this tragic tale of terrestrial cephalopods, ursine lycanthropes and explosive volcano drake diarrhea.

Dark fantasy will never be the same.

When the movie starts, the horror becomes real.

The TV ads promised a festival of cheap and bloody fright films, all of them thinly disguised knockoffs of well-known movies with much better pedigrees. One film features a family of chainsaw maniacs, another a zombie uprising. In yet another, a cult of vampires lives in a creepy old mansion. The whole thing is hosted by the mysterious Dr. Ominous.

Entranced by the ads, a small group of adventurous horror fans head out to a failing theater in the bad part of town. As the lights dim and the movies begin, they are transported into the worlds of the films, where the screams and the blood are real, and there doesn't seem to be any way out.

January 12, 1888

When a day dawns warm and mild in the middle of a long cold winter, it's greeted as a blessing, a reprieve. A chance for those who've been cooped up indoors to get out, do chores, run errands, send the children to school … little knowing that they're only seeing the calm before the storm.

The blizzard hits out of nowhere, screaming across the Great Plains like a runaway train. It brings slicing winds, blinding snow, plummeting temperatures. Livestock will be found frozen in the fields, their heads encased in blocks of ice formed from their own steaming breath. Frostbite and hypothermia wait for anyone caught without shelter.

For the hardy settlers of Far Enough, in the Montana Territory, it's about to get worse. Something else has arrived with the blizzard. Something sleek and savage and hungry. Wild animal or vengeful spirit from native legend, it blends into the snow and bites with sharper teeth than the wind.

"With a mixture of fantasy and all things Heaven and Earth, this tale combines the stories of several characters into an intricate, twisting plot." -- Tonja Drecker, author and book reviewer

Because of guilt over an ancient sin committed by their angel ancestors against the Maker, the Penitents have cursed themselves with grotesque physical disfigurements. Mellis can help them reunite with the Maker and find their way back to redemption, but she would need to give up the life she's always known to remain in the Space Between. As she struggles with this heart-wrenching decision, one of the Penitents, bent on revenge, commits a gruesome attack against the tribe, and they learn he has taken Satan--the Maker's greatest enemy--as his ally.

William Cook's second collection of macabre stories, Dark Deaths: Selected Horror Fiction, deals with horror found in the real and the imagined. In this diverse collection, the reader can expect anything from blood-thirsty aliens, a satanic locomotive, possessed dolls and that most monstrous species of human – the serial killer. Dark Deaths is a complimentary volume to Cook's first collection, Dreams of Thanatos: Collected Macabre Tales. Many of the stories collected in Dark Deaths have previously been published in various anthologies and magazines with five brand-new and previously unpublished tales, written especially for this new collection. Included with the stories are Mr Cook's own macabre illustrations that accompany each tale.

From the preface:

"In Dark Deaths: Selected Horror Fiction, I hope that you find something that resonates with you, the reader. Perhaps one of the stories might make you check the locks on your doors before turning in for the night? Maybe one of the tales in this collection will make you contemplate something you may not have thought about, or wanted to think about, before? You might think twice about keeping the doll that sits in a box in the attic, or take a second look at the guy across the road who sits in his upstairs window watching passersby. Whatever the response, my goal is to get you involved with the story – for you to suspend disbelief, if only for a short while as you read these tales. Be warned, this is a mixed bag – a distillation of stories written over the course of a number of years – whimsical childhood nightmares sit among the bloodied remains of serial murderers and revenant spirits. Each story is a dark death, an epitaph of sorts, as I lay them to rest in this collection."

Fitz is a broke night manager for a grubby comic book store. His only friend Dee is a drugged-out, womanizing pro-wrestler. Together they're the most pathetic losers on the face of the planet. Their lives cannot possibly get any worse.

And then they're implicated in the kidnapping of the prime minister's wife.

On the run from the cops, Fitz and Dee discover there is something far worse than the RCMP stalking the dark streets of Toronto. They are being hunted by an ancient demon of unspeakable evil with an insatiable taste for blood... or maybe it's just your run-of-the-mill giant murderous hobo?

Either way, life in prison might be better than whatever the creepy drifter has in store for them...

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills... and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills.  And that's both a good, and a bad thing.  It's good because he's a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can't handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It's bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.... 

BAND TRIP TO PERIL...

When newlyweds Jane and Alex Clarke move into an idyllic house on the quaint Bristol Lane, they are excited for a new beginning in what will be their ‘forever home'.

And when an elderly neighbour brings them a pie to welcome them, she soon becomes a friend. But she grows a little too interested in the couple next door as she sits watching them, day in, day out, from the rocking chair in her window.

Alex says it will be fine. After all, she's a lonely widow who just wants some company. But when she invites Jane into her home, who knows what she'll find there…

A dark and gripping domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Shari Lapena and Paula Hawkins.

If you had the chance to hit the reset button, would you?
If a stranger told you they could take away your cancer, would you let them?
If paradise was gifted to you, a new life, a house by the lake, more money than you could imagine, and a wife for whom you would eventually love, would you agree to take that deal?

There is only one condition. In 20 years you must give something back. You don't know what that something is, and you never will until you need to give it.

All debts need paying in the end.

Everything has its price.

Shortlisted in the 'Best Novel' category of the 2017 Australian Shadows Awards, SLITHERS is the latest tale of sci-fi horror from the international #1 bestselling author of EIGHT.

On a remote country road, heading out to a weekend party, Tobe West and his friends pick up two hitchhikers. It seems like the right thing to do.

No-one could have predicted the freak car accident that is about to change their lives.

Stranded in the middle of nowhere, Tobe and the others are faced with a landscape suddenly unfamiliar, in a universe that has come loose from its moorings. Strange things slither in the woods, and spectral lights hover just off the road. A petrol station, shining brightly in a world otherwise dark and frightening, promises safe haven, but Tobe learns the biggest threat lies within the very people he's trying to protect.

As reality breaks down and dangers multiply, Tobe must uncover the hidden agenda of one of the survivors... and keep the others safe from something lurking in the darkness.

Something that is hunting them all.

If they are to survive the night, Tobe must face the horrifying truth--that nothing is as it seems, and that they are all part of a larger plan, part of someone else's unfinished business...

A fast-paced, terrifying action-adventure of subterranean horror—a group of friends fight to survive their captors and the secret nesting deep within an old family mine. 

Hidden in the West Desert of Utah, the former gold rush settlement of Mammoth is now a ghost town.

For Liz Chilton, a photojournalist on assignment, it’s where her deceased mother was raised—but unknown to her—barely escaped with her life 40 years ago.

Seeking to reconnect with her mother’s mysterious past, Liz begins a road trip to the area that quickly takes a chilling turn at an RV park when they discover a body, partially consumed—devolving into a horrifying fight for survival.

Confronted by the strange family she never knew and the mine’s dark purpose, Liz and her friends must escape or fall prey to the infestation spreading underground.

Inspired by true events, HARVEST DEEP is a debut novel of horror by Trent Pettry.

If you're looking for safe horror, you've come to the wrong place.

From Mark Allen and Derric Miller, the twisted minds who brought you the heavy metal splatterpunk novella "Mudslingers" and the hardcore survival-horror novel Gristle, comes a wicked collection of dark, gut-punch short stories that drag you through hell and leave your nerves scraped rawer than sandblasted flesh.

With the exception of "Gurgles," a brand new--and bloody--collaborative piece, each of these stories is spawned from a single author's brain. You've read the savage madness they create together; now see how demented they can be when they are unleashed from each other.

From vengeful ghosts to tortured sinners to lustful demons to hellish plagues to alcoholic exorcisms, this short story collection will show you that there is beauty in agony and that sometimes you must suffer hell to find salvation.

Because Allen and Miller … yeah, they don't do Disney.
