The Watching by Paul Melniczek
“A young girl witnesses something horrific from her bedroom window, a scene which snatches away her childhood innocence and replaces it with terror. Her life becomes a routine of desperation filled with shadows and darkness, void of any hope. Her home becomes her prison, her life an unending cycle of despair. And her nightmares are of the worst kind, ones which are not separated by the barrier between dream and reality.“
“Paul Melniczek ranks among that elite cadre of bright new authors who are collectively producing a 21st-century renaissance of high-quality horror fiction. His work is literate and moving, and displays a genuine understanding of the genre’s roots, combined with an excellent sense of how best to honor and extend these in contemporary tales of supernatural horror. The Watching may be his finest effort yet, with its supernatural story of wrenching loss and shattered dreams wrapped in a delicious and deeply emotional evocation of autumnal darkness in a small American town.” -Matt Cardin, Author of Dark Awakenings.

Horns by Joe Hill (Limited Editions Announced)
Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with one hell of a hangover, a raging headache …and a pair of horns growing from his temples. Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned American musician, and the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, Ig had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more – he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone —raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances – with Ig the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, Ig was and always would be guilty. Now Ig is possessed with a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look, and he means to use it to find the man who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It’s time for a little revenge; it’s time the devil had his due.
