The Trees Grew Because I Bled There (2023)
Eric LaRocca
"Something is rotten at the heart of LaRocca's literary world. An unease, a disquiet, a world-spanning cancer. Grief and horror unfold in tandem in one of the most original and startling collections I've read in a long while. The Trees Grew Because I Bled There is a dark elegy and not one to be taken lightly. Don't miss it."
thumb
Ghost Eaters (2022)
Clay McLeod Chapman
"Chapman has the uncanny ability to dredge up his character's personal histories - and our shared cultural history - exposing them as the terrifying images and symbols they truly are. Richly observed, thoroughly entertaining, and incredibly surprising, Ghost Eaters will be the horror novel of 2022 to read. A dark, gripping tale that is by turns snarky, horrifying, and brutal - this book is as good as modern horror gets."

The Liar of Red Valley (2021)
Walter Goodwater
"Part horror, part thriller, part mythic fantasy. And all mystery, magic, and mendacity. You will never enjoy being lied to this much."
