|

Sideshow Press presents Sideshow Exhibits, a unique collection of novellas written by three of the genre’s hottest talents and inspired by a single piece of artwork. Includes the following: The Great Northern Sweet Water Raid by Gene O’Neill In the latest tale from the acclaimed Cal Wild mythos, the San Jo Kid is released by The Company after serving nearly three years frozen and lifeless for smuggling. He soon learns that his freedom will come with some strings . . . After being reunited with his enhanced animal companions — the crazy mastiff, All-American boy and the talking steed, Crazy Horse — Kid assembles a motley team of outlaw specialists to pull the biggest heist of his career. In the tradition of great westerns, Jo and his team will make what may prove to be a final stand as the mystery of the Great Northern Sweet Water Raid is revealed. Brood XIX by Michael McBride Two years after the disappearance of her young daughter, Vanessa is living a solitary, hollow life. Refusing to accept that her child is gone, she lives alone, an enshrined mud teddy bear — the last thing given to her by her daughter — serving as a constant reminder of her loss. The discovery of the remains of a young girl in a local swamp seems to bring the search to a tragic end. But hope can be found in the strangest of places . . . When the teddy bear suddenly erupts with insect life after years of dormancy, Vanessa sees it as a sign. With help from her deputy brother, she will discover the secret behind her daughter’s disappearance . . . and Brood XIX. Crowley’s Window by Gord Rollo Abby Hawkins was never normal. Born with a birth cowl — a rare birth defect thought to predict psychic abilities — she is haunted by horrible visions. Shortly after her 13th birthday, Abby’s parents call in the mysterious Crowley to help their daughter. His interventions rid her of the visions . . . and her eyes. Now a beautiful young lady, Abby Hawkins works as a fortune teller in a traveling Carnival. When, she receives a powerful vision — one depicting the abduction of a little girl, she becomes the sole witness to the crime. Only a young police officer believes her bizarre story, and with his help she embarks upon an investigation that will ultimately reunite her with ghost from her past and bring her to the hellish threshold of Crowley’s Window.

OuroborosAuthors: Kelly, Michael and Carol Weekes |
|
|
This edition is only for the BIBLIOPHILIC ORDER OF DAGON members! Only 13 roman numeral editions will be produced and only for the members. Each edition will be half bound in leather rather than cloth. The Great Wyrm Ouroboros — the ceaseless cycle of destruction and renewal. In a small coastal town, an ancient force stirs, drawn by the cumulative power of life and death, grief and sorrow, and, ultimately, endless love. Ouroboros — life out of death. Tom Christiansen’s wife of 35-years, Dolly, is dead. His world suddenly shattered, Tom takes refuge in his house to grieve and reflect. Tom’s thin veil of reality and fantasy begins to crack and slip. He hears things: the rusty creak of the backyard swing; the tap of tiny feet from an upstairs room. And he sees things, as well: a small rubber ball bouncing slowly down the stairs; birds like silent sentinels on electrical wires; a strange little pig-tailed girl suddenly appearing in his yard. And what is that mysterious figure lying in the upstairs bed that he used to share with his beloved wife? Ouroboros — a new cycle has begun. Tom’s long-time neighbors, and dearest friends, Mick and Robbie Hamlin begun to glimpse strange behavior from grief-stricken Tom. They witness dinner place-settings for two. They hear hushed conversations from the old house, as if Tom is speaking to himself, as if he isn’t alone. There is a pale little girl in the backyard, swinging ceaselessly. And something is rustling in the bushes, peering out from the undergrowth with inquisitive eyes. Ouroboros — the end is just the beginning. Rat’s Note: While the Deluxe Hardcover edition was the one making the bestseller list, it seems not to be available any longer so the book cover and Horror Mall icon link to the regular hardcover edition. |

The ForumAuthor: Newman, James |
|
|
Online message boards. You’ve seen them around the Internet. Perhaps you’ve been a member of several. You’ve cursed the spammers and trolls, witnessed the flounces and the flame wars waged by faceless usernames with nothing better to do. There are millions of different message boards throughout the World Wide Web, all of them catering to different hobbies and cultures and fetishes. They are communities for people with common interests, a gathering of like minds and kindred souls . . . According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, there are currently over 500 active serial killers within the United States. Somewhere out there, isn’t it possible that an online message board exists for those who live outside society’s rules? For those who kill for the thrill of it, and yearn for the taste of blood? A place to swap stories . . . to boast of their exploits and discuss tricks of “the trade.” A safe haven where mementos can be displayed . . . where members can learn how to hone their dark craft, and maybe make a few new friends in the process . . . This is The Forum. This is book five in Cemetery Dance Publication’s Signature Series. |

Going MonsteringAuthor: Lee, Edward |
|
|
Going Monstering is brand new full length novel by the master of twisted dark fiction Edward Lee! Where are we going tonight? Behind the facade of the sedate sorority house, unutterable horrors seethe while tumid desires rise. All the while, Ann White must become pervert-fodder if she hopes to pass Pledge Week. All too soon, she finds that no act of lewdness is deemed too demeaning, no manner of sexual degradation too foul . . . For there is a secret festering in the bowels of Alpha House, an ancient carnal evil whose stygian lust is too hideous to imagine and still stay sane. As Ann literally dips herself into a cesspool of soul-soiling immorality, the black revelation throbs closer and closer . . . Where are we going tonight? Poor Ann will be slopped on, spewed in, spat upon, penetrated, humped, poked, humiliated, bitch-slapped, gang-sodomized, plungered like a toilet, filled like a decanter, and debased en masse — indeed, she will willingly go through a wringer of sexual depravity to prove her resolve, but along the way, as she converts herself into this veritable receptacle of sullied lust, will she live long enough to unveil the true secret of Alpha House? Tonight, we’re going monstering. An unrelenting and irredeemable novel of gore-house porn and unmitigated black comedic horror. This is a signed limited edition hardcover, fully illustrated by Tom Moran. Only 300 hand signed and numbered copies will be published of this edition. |

Quill and CandleAuthor: Thomas, Scott |
|
|
In Quill and Candle Scott Thomas invites the reader back to an earlier, quieter time, when travelers relied on horses, when cooking was done over a hearth, and frost nights were illuminated by tapers. It was, perhaps, a more haunted time . . . Here you will find the corpse of a child which can foretell the future, and a stately Massachusetts house where the painting of a mourning gown haunts a bedchamber wall. Something terrible inhabits a wintry woodlot and something worse menaces a war-bound frigate. The seventeen stories within are steeped in autumn leaves, chilled in wintry wind and haunted by New England ghosts. |
