About the book
New York Times bestselling author Richard Chizmar, “one of horror’s indispensable writers” (Paste), and his son W.H. Chizmar, critically acclaimed author of Them (hailed by New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman as “one of the best debuts I’ve ever read”) present a riveting found footage narrative about doomed thrill-seekers trapped in a haunted lighthouse.
“This is a bad place. I don’t think people are meant to live here.”
Longtime residents of Harper’s Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow’s Point Lighthouse. Some say it’s cursed. Others claim it’s haunted.
Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse’s construction, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror. In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds.
The lighthouse was finally shuttered tight in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since.
Until now.
Told across two harrowing incidents from 2017 and today, those who enter the Widow’s Point Lighthouse, searching for material for the next big thing, will find themselves cut off from the outside world. And although no one has recently stepped foot inside the structure, they will not be alone.
In this remarkable collaboration, father and son writing team, Richard and W.H. Chizmar combine forces to tell a terrifying ghost story that will make you think twice about what is waiting for you in the dark.

About the book
Utterly gripping historical fiction from bestseller Elena Collins - perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Outlander and Weyward.
Now: When Ruthie gets the part of one of Macbeth’s famous three witches she can’t wait to get started. Inspired by the beauty of the film’s Scottish locations and the camaraderie of the cast and crew, she can leave behind the expectations of her family and her lacklustre love life, at least for now. But as echoes from the past begin whispering in Ruthie’s ear and a restless spirit draws her further into its centuries-old secrets, it soon becomes clear that only she can uncover the truth of a terrible injustice.
1050 Scotland: Isobel and her two sisters have learnt about healing from their loving mother Sidheag, and she in turn has kept them safe. But without the protection of their late father, Sidheag knows that her daughters must find husbands or their futures are at risk.
Isobel believes in love over duty and when she catches sight of King Macbeth’s stepson Lulach she can picture a happiness she had hardly dare imagine. But as heir to a Scottish throne that is drenched in blood, Lulach’s destiny is to be a warrior. When Isobel’s actions leave her and her sisters vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft there may be nothing that can keep the three women safe, not even the great Macbeth himself.
As the calls from the past grow ever louder, Ruthie has no choice. Macbeth’s witches have a story that needs to be told and the truth can no longer stay hidden…
Truly unforgettable timeslip historical fiction, perfect for fans of Emilia Hart, Clare Marchant and C.J. Cooke.

Wetbones
Horror · Mystery · Thriller · Occult Horror
Our take
Wetbones drags addiction, violence, and cosmic horror into the rot beneath Hollywood’s glamour, where pleasure becomes something predatory. A screenwriter, a grieving reverend, and baffled police follow separate trails of mutilation and disappearance toward a force that consumes flesh and sanity, making this a brutal splatterpunk horror novel for readers drawn to excess, corruption, and supernatural dread.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A flesh-and-soul-devouring addiction runs rampant through the dark playground of the Hollywood elite in this tale of horror from a Bram Stoker Award winner.
Welcome to Los Angeles, where every addiction is encouraged. . . .
Struggling Hollywood screenwriter Tom Prentice can hardly believe that the emaciated and mutilated corpse lying on the morgue slab was once his ex-wife. Then his roommate's missing brother turns up in a local hospital having sliced open his own chest and legs for some sick, inexplicable reason. In Oakland, the Reverend Garner, a recovering addict, leaves his ministry in search of his teenage daughter, who was last seen in the company of her ghoulish kidnapper. And the Los Angeles police are meanwhile baffled in their hunt for the elusive "Wetbones" serial killer who leaves nothing of his victims behind except a damp, grisly pile of bones.
Though Tom, the reverend, and the LAPD are on separate quests for answers, they are all being led into the darkest shadows of Hollywood, where the debauchery never ceases and pleasure is a drug that devours human flesh, blood, and sanity. But the true source of the all-consuming addiction is the most horrifying revelation of all, for it is not of this rational Earth.
From International Horror Guild Award–winning author John Shirley, the acclaimed "splatterpunk" classic Wetbones combines the monstrous inventiveness of H. P. Lovecraft with the exquisite excess of Clive Barker. A true masterwork of modern terror, it's decidedly not for the faint of heart.

The Narrows turns post-storm recovery into something far older and more sinister than a damaged town can explain.
The Narrows
Horror · Thriller · Occult Horror
Our take
The Narrows turns post-storm recovery into something far older and more sinister than a damaged town can explain. As Stillwater, Maryland begins to rebuild, strange sightings, impossible encounters, and mutilated animals pull Sergeant Ben Journell into an investigation shaped by dread, grief, and ancient evil. This is small-town horror built around atmosphere, creeping folklore, and the fear that some waters hide more than wreckage.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A creepy and atmospheric slice of small town horror from the Bram Stoker award finalist and bestselling author of Come With Me. Perfect for readers of Christopher Golden and fans of Mike Flanagan.
In the aftermath of a terrible storm, the town of Stillwater, Maryland tries to recover what it has lost. From flooded roads and houses, to ruined businesses—the residents of the town begin to clean up and return to normal.
In the midst of the clear up, people begin to see things. Matthew Crawly spies his father in the woodlands above the Narrows, but that cannot be possible; Maggie Quedentock nearly hits a child with her car, only to find an empty road lying before her; and in the middle of it all, Sergeant Ben Journell is thrust into an impossible investigation. Animals are being slaughtered, their brains systematically removed from their bodies. Something is happening to the town of Stillwater…something dark and ancient and evil has its grip on everyone.
The saying goes, still waters run deep, but no one in Stillwater is prepared for just how deep they run, and no one can possibly be ready for what they might find when they reach the bottom of the gray waters of the Narrows.

Transformation becomes terrifying when the thing inside you starts answering back.
Such Sharp Teeth
Horror · Creature Feature · Occult Horror · Supernatural Horror
Our take
Transformation becomes terrifying when the thing inside you starts answering back. In Such Sharp Teeth, Rachel Harrison follows Rory Morris as a reluctant return to her hometown turns into a violent encounter, a strange survival, and a body that no longer feels entirely human. This horror novel blends werewolf mythology, dark humor, romance, and trauma as Rory confronts rage, vulnerability, and the danger of becoming herself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A young woman in need of a transformation finds herself in touch with the animal inside in this gripping, incisive USA Today bestselling novel from the author of Cackle and The Return.
Rory Morris isn’t thrilled to be moving back to her hometown, even if it is temporary. There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the baby’s father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought she’d put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into Ian, an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, she’s attacked.
Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. She’s unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silver—and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She’s changing into someone else—something else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean she’s putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?
This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.

"Deserves to stand alongside a Stephen King or a Dean Koontz—at their best . . . A mature horror yarn" from the award-winning author of Bone White (New York Journal of Books).
Horror writer Travis Glasgow and his wife, Jodie, have bought their first house in Westlake, Maryland, just steps from Travis's older brother's home. Travis is buoyed by the thought of renewing his relationship with his estranged sibling and overcoming the darkness from his past. But the house has other plans for him.

About the book
An "impressive" tale of psychic power, Native American mysticism, and an ancient evil in Alabama, from the New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song (Associated Press).
Born and raised in rural Alabama, Billy Creekmore was destined to be a psychic. His mother, a Choctaw Indian schooled in her tribe's ancient mysticism, understands the permeable barrier between life and death—and can cross it. She taught the power to Billy and now he helps the dead rest in peace.
Wayne Falconer, son of one of the most fervent tent evangelists in the South, travels the country serving his father's healing ministry. Using his unique powers to cure the flock, Little Wayne is on his way to becoming one of the popular and successful miracle workers in the country. He helps the living survive.
Billy and Wayne share more than a gift. They share a dream—and a common enemy. They are on separate journeys, mystery walks that will lead them toward a crossroad where the evil of their dreams has taken shape. One of them will reject the dark. The other will be consumed by it. But neither imagined just how monstrous and far-reaching the dark was, or that mankind's fate would rest in their hands during an epic showdown of good versus evil.
From the author of Gone South, Boy's Life, and the Matthew Corbett series, a master of suspense who has won the World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Awards, Mystery Walk offers "creepy, subtle touches throughout [and] splendid Southern-town atmosphere" (Kirkus Reviews).

About the book
“A woman discovers her magical ancestry while being seduced by a deadly coven in this debut fantasy. ... A craftily blended supernatural tale that vividly shows the author's love of the genre.” - Kirkus Reviews
A Gothic Horror of Magic, Power, and Betrayal
Rachel Ogden has spent her life resisting the pull of the past. She’s finally built the ordinary life she always wanted, running a successful independent coffee shop with her best friend and even considering romance for the first time in years. But beneath the surface, something is shifting. Something is waiting. Nightmares she can't remember. Flickers of memories that don't make sense. Rachel pushes past them and clings to normalcy, but fate has other plans.
The spiral into the unknown starts when she meets the enigmatic owner of a metaphysical supply store and the figures behind an exclusive Gothic nightclub. Soon, Rachel’s reality fractures as the storm she's suppressed reaches her. Her mother’s ghost appears, warning her of an inheritance she cannot escape. It's a gift others would kill to claim.
As Rachel is drawn deeper into an underworld of seduction, secrets, and hidden rituals, she must confront a past she doesn’t remember, a power she never asked for, and a legacy that refuses to be denied.
For fans of Shirley Jackson, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Anne Rice, The Witch’s Spiral is a haunting, character-driven descent into the occult, the razor-thin line between desire and control, and the terrifying beauty of self-discovery. Also perfect for readers who crave eerie atmospheres, creeping paranoia, and the slow unraveling of reality in the face of the unknown.
