About the book
"Don't let him in."
Widow's Bay meets Haunting Adeline in this standalone dark gothic horror romance from the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Blood Orange, Grave Matter and Realm of Thieves.
When Iris Galloway inherits her great-aunt's cottage on a remote Scottish loch, the terms are simple: live there one year, and it's hers.
She doesn't know about the disappearances yet, nor does she know about the handsome man who swims in the loch at night, who watches her cottage from the dark water, and who appears at her door very wet, very naked, and asking to come in.
Meanwhile, the locals warn her about a murderer on the loose, the police are in over their heads, and her aunt's letters say to keep the salt lines around the house and the doors locked after sundown.
And never, ever invite him inside.
But Iris has spent her whole life being careful.
And this wicked stranger is going to ruin her for it.
Bonetide is a dark gothic romance that’s tinged with horror. While this book starts off almost like a cozy gothic mystery, it does pivot later into darker territory. Which also gets a little weird. If you’re here for the cozy, know that it doesn’t stay cozy. If you’re here for the dark romance, know that it’s coming. Please see inside the book or author's website for the content warnings.

About the book
The instant USA Today bestseller by Chuck Tingle about what it takes to succeed in a world that wants you dead.
Named one of the Best Horror Books of 2024 (Esquire, Parade, and Library Journal) • Winner of the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel • A Lambda Literary Award finalist!
Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.
But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.
Misha refuses, but he soon realizes that he’s just put a target on his back. And what’s worse, monsters from his horror movie days are stalking him and his friends through the hills above Los Angeles.
Haunted by his past, Misha must risk his entire future—before the horrors from the silver screen find a way to bury him for good.
"Brilliantly bloody, wildly fun, and extremely scary, Bury Your Gays brings a sledgehammer down on tired tropes and makes a masterpiece of their guts."—Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Black Sheep

About the book
From Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, comes Certain Dark Things, a pulse-pounding neo-noir that reimagines vampire lore.
Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires.

As the trail of corpses stretches behind her, local cops and crime bosses both start closing in.

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.

Making first contact was supposed to mean discovery, not absolute disaster.
Xeno
Horror · Sci-Fi · Cosmic Horror · Creature Feature · Eldritch Horror · First Contact
Our take
Making first contact was supposed to mean discovery, not absolute disaster. Xeno traps a tiny crew aboard a colony ship with an ancient alien force that should have stayed lost in space, turning a routine journey into a full-blown nightmare. Dark, brutal, and built on rising dread, this is space horror that goes straight for the throat.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A terrifying descent into space horror.
Sometimes in space you wake to a nightmare.
The huge spaceship the Xeno is en route to a new world light years from Earth, its payload of more than 50,000 cryogenically frozen colonists watched over by a supercomputer and a skeleton crew of only a dozen people.
When the ship comes into contact with a seemingly inert alien artefact drifting in space, the crew believes they've made a momentous discovery for all humankind. They’re unaware it’s the eve of true horror.
Soon it becomes clear the crew have unwittingly woken an evil so ancient and so powerful it threatens not only the ship and its slumbering passengers, but the future of the human race itself.
Recommended for mature readers due to graphic language, violence and sexual content.

Ideal for readers looking for queer historical fantasy with a second-chance love story, demons, and a bloody monster hunt.
The Red Winter
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Creature Feature
Our take
Called “Charming, haunting, ambitious” by T. Kingfisher, this dark fantasy follows centuries-old monster-slayer Sebastian Grave, who hosts a demon and returns to France in 1785 to hunt the Beast of Gévaudan alongside his estranged lover. Ideal for readers looking for queer historical fantasy with a second-chance love story, demons, and a bloody monster hunt.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power, and redemption.
In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gévaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake.
Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of his indwelling demon, Sarmodel – who takes payment in living hearts – it nearly cost him his life to bring the monster down.
Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d’Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse.
But Gévaudan is not as he remembers it, and Sebastian’s unfinished business is everywhere he looks. Years of misery have driven the people to desperation, and France teeters on the edge of revolution. Sebastian’s arcane activities – not to mention his demonic counterpart – have also attracted the inquisitorial eye of the French clergy. And the Beast is poised to close his jaws around them all and plunge the continent into war.
Debut author Cameron Sullivan tears the heart out of history with this darkly entertaining retelling of the hunt for the Beast of Gévaudan. Lifting the veil on the hidden world behind our own, it reimagines the story of Europe, from Imperial Rome to Saint Jehanne d’Arc, the madness of Gilles de Rais and the first flickers of the French Revolution.
“An absolute feast of a book: rich, red, sinfully delicious. I've rarely been this satisfied—or this hungry for more.” —Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House
“So bloody good. The Red Winter is absolute ripper entertainment—miss it at your peril!” —Shelley Parker-Chan, bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun
“A gorgeous tangle of history and fresh-made myth. You'll eat this one up.” —Cassandra Khaw, bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth
“Charming, haunting, ambitious, and a great deal of fun.” —T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author of A Sorceress Comes to Call

About the book
Eric Ross is running from his past, from something he can’t explain, and from the force that won’t leave his family alone. With his two daughters beside him, every stop feels temporary, every town unsafe. When he sees an ad for caretaker of Masson House, “the most haunted place in Texas,” it looks like a chance to finally stop.
The job is simple: stay in the house, record everything that happens, and collect a huge payout. Yet Masson House has already broken those who came before, leaving only madness behind. Eric accepts not just for the money, but because he believes the spite house may hold answers about the power shadowing his family.
Johnny Compton’s The Spite House is a Gothic thriller of grief, love, and terror.
