The Daughters of Block Island (2023)
Christa Carmen
"I have been a Christa Carmen fan since reading her collection, Something Borrowed, Something Blood-Soaked. I knew she could tell a hell of a short story and her novel, The Daughters of Block Island, does not disappoint. The mystery leaves the reader feeling like they are trying to escape a twisted haunted dollhouse without knowing what is real or imagined. Lovers of gothic fiction should pick up this book that contains a wealth of nods to the genre, but also discusses personal horrors like addiction, abuse, and mental health."

The Pale House Devil (2023)
Richard Kadrey
"The Pale House Devil is a fast paced riot of a horror novella with the perfect combo of creepy and comedic. I loved every page!"

Black River Orchard (2023)
Chuck Wendig
"An essential for horror readers, and buy it for new horror readers - it will convert them instantly."
