Our take
In a remote house known as the Wolves’ Den, captivity becomes a nightmare with no edges and no mercy. When two young sisters vanish, small-town cop Keith Klein abandons procedure and pursues answers through increasingly brutal means, while the girls endure horrors at the hands of masked predators. Into the Wolves’ Den is an extreme horror novel driven by desperation, violence, and the cost of vengeance.

A forbidden play circulates in whispers, and those who read it begin to unravel.
The King in Yellow
Horror
Our take
A forbidden play circulates in whispers, and those who read it begin to unravel. In The King in Yellow, Robert W. Chambers links stories of artists, dreamers, and skeptics drawn toward a text that fractures reason and invites cosmic dread. This foundational work of weird fiction blends psychological horror with supernatural unease, creating an atmosphere of madness that lingers beyond the final page.

Something's Wrong With Maddie opens with a love that refuses to accept death, even after a blood ritual brings back something unrecognizable.
Something’s Wrong With Maddie
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Sports Romance
Our take
Something's Wrong With Maddie opens with a love that refuses to accept death, even after a blood ritual brings back something unrecognizable. Piper hides her undead girlfriend from neighbors and police as hunger turns devotion into complicity. This sapphic horror novel fuses dark romance, splatterpunk gore, and grief-fueled obsession into a story where love becomes both lifeline and liability.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Maddie died. Piper refused to accept it.
One blood ritual later and Maddie is back—undead, starving and nothing close to resembling human. Despite her deceased girlfriend reeking of rotting flesh, Piper decides she’ll do anything to keep her zombie girlfriend: lie to suspicious neighbors, outwit a nosy cop, and make sure the apartment complex’s missing-person flyers don’t point to their kitchen.
As scraps of the old Maddie surface, so do the hunger pangs. The body count begins to pile up, and Piper has to decide what she's willing to do to keep her girlfriend fed.
Part sapphic dark romance, part black-comedy horror, Something’s Wrong With Maddie is a gore-slick tale of grief, obsession, and devotion with sharp splatterpunk bite, body-horror set pieces, and a love story that refuses to die—even when it really should.

My Corpse Has a Heartbeat begins with a devoted family man who also happens to be a serial killer struggling to keep his two lives from colliding.
My Corpse Has a Heartbeat
Horror
Our take
My Corpse Has a Heartbeat begins with a devoted family man who also happens to be a serial killer struggling to keep his two lives from colliding. Turner Blake believes he has perfected the balance between suburban normalcy and violent compulsion, until anonymous notes threaten to expose him. This psychological horror novel immerses readers in a fractured mind unraveling under pressure, where domestic love and bloodlust compete for control.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Turner Blake loves his wife and children just as much as he enjoys killing people. Balancing date nights and birthday parties with chainsaw chases and shooting sprees is no easy task, but he thinks he's found the perfect system.
When mysterious notes threaten to expose him, he must leash his addiction or risk losing those closest to him. Turner soon realizes old habits die hard as his sanity and his family's safety spiral out of control.
MY CORPSE HAS A HEARTBEAT puts you in the mind of a killer at a crossroad. Deeply disturbing and darkly funny, this unfiltered narrative is as morally fractured as the man telling it and the society that continues to listen.

Demon
Horror · Thriller · Supernatural Horror · Suspense
Our take
In a quiet Yorkshire village, a childhood murder refuses to stay buried. In Demon, podcaster Scott King reopens the 1995 killing of twelve-year-old Sidney Parsons, probing rumors of possession and the lasting scars left on Ussalthwaite.

About the book
Scott King investigates allegations of demon possession in a rural Yorkshire village, where a 12-year-old boy was murdered by two young children. Book six in the spine-tingling, award-winning Six Stories series.
'Matt's books are fantastic' Ian Rankin
'An exceptional storyteller' Andrew Michael Hurley
'Matt Wesolowski is taking the crime novel to places it's never been before' Joseph Knox, author of True Crime Story
'A stunning new episode of the powerful Six Stories series. A masterful storyteller, Matt Wesolowski is my go-to writer for literary horror' C J Cooke, author of The Lighthouse Witches
In 1995, the picture-perfect village of Ussalthwaite was the site of one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, in a case that shocked the world.
Twelve-year-old Sidney Parsons was murdered by two boys his own age. No reason was ever given for this terrible crime, and the 'Demonic Duo' who killed him were imprisoned until their release in 2002, when they were given new identities and lifetime anonymity.
Elusive online journalist Scott King investigates the lead-up and aftermath of the killing, uncovering dark stories of demonic possession, and encountering a village torn apart by this unspeakable act.
And, as episodes of his Six Stories podcast begin to air, and King himself becomes a target of media scrutiny and public outrage, it becomes clear that whatever drove those two boys to kill is still there, lurking, and the campaign of horror has just begun...

Model Home opens with a house that never felt safe, even when it promised belonging.
Model Home
Horror · Mystery · Thriller
Our take
Model Home opens with a house that never felt safe, even when it promised belonging. After their parents die under suspicious circumstances, the Maxwell siblings return to the Texas enclave where they were the only Black family and where unexplainable horrors once took root. As past and present collide, this literary haunted-house novel confronts grief, racism, and the lingering question of whether the true evil was ever supernatural.

About the book
LOCUS AWARD FINALIST
Welcome to Rivers Solomon’s dark and wondrous Model Home, a new kind of haunted-house novel.
The three Maxwell siblings keep their distance from the lily-white gated enclave outside Dallas where they grew up. When their family moved there, they were the only Black family in the neighborhood. The neighbors acted nice enough, but right away bad things, scary things—the strange and the unexplainable—began to happen in their house. Maybe it was some cosmic trial, a demonic rite of passage into the upper-middle class. Whatever it was, the Maxwells, steered by their formidable mother, stayed put, unwilling to abandon their home, terrors and trauma be damned.
As adults, the siblings could finally get away from the horrors of home, leaving their parents all alone in the house. But when news of their parents' death arrives, Ezri is forced to return to Texas with their sisters, Eve and Emanuelle, to reckon with their family’s past and present, and to find out what happened while they were away. It was not a “natural” death for their parents . . . but was it supernatural?
Rivers Solomon turns the haunted-house story on its head, unearthing the dark legacies of segregation and racism in the suburban American South. Unbridled, raw, and daring, Model Home is the story of secret histories uncovered, and of a queer family battling for their right to live, grieve, and heal amid the terrors of contemporary American life.

When livestock begin rising from the dead, the outbreak does not stop at the pasture fence.
Apocalypse Cow
Horror
Our take
When livestock begin rising from the dead, the outbreak does not stop at the pasture fence. In Apocalypse Cow, a virulent epidemic turns Britain’s cattle into flesh-craving predators, forcing an abattoir worker, a teenage vegan, and an underperforming journalist into an unlikely alliance. As society fractures, this horror-comedy blends escalating chaos with sharp satire and relentless undead absurdity.

About the book
Three unlikely heroes must save Britain from a horde of zombie cows in this "clever and very funny twist on the traditional zombie novel" (Booklist, starred review).
Winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Award
It began with a cow that just wouldn't die. It would become an epidemic that transformed Britain's livestock into sneezing, slavering, flesh-craving, four-legged zombies. Forget the cud—these cows want blood.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the fate of the nation is in the hands of three individuals who don't exactly inspire confidence: an abattoir worker whose love life is non-existent thanks to the stench of death that clings to him, a teenage vegan with eczema and a weird crush on his maths teacher, and an inept journalist who wouldn't recognize a scoop if she tripped over one.
As the nation descends into chaos, can they pool their resources, unlock a cure, and save the world?
Three losers.
Overwhelming odds.
One outcome . . .
Yup, we're screwed.

Sweetside Motel
Horror
Our take
Stranded far from home as a pandemic closes in, she finds refuge in a place steeped in rumor and decay. When Sarah Ng’s car breaks down in an isolated town, she quarantines at a crumbling roadside inn run by two unsettling brothers. Sweetside Motel reimagines the gothic novella as a tense study of isolation, xenophobia, and the ghosts we carry within.

But how can she know who to trust when everyone, including herself, has their ghosts?
E.L. Chen’s contemporary twist on the gothic novella is an unnerving exploration of fear and what it means to be haunted.
