Joe R Lansdale recommends
The Legend of Charlie Fish (2023)
Josh Rountree
"Odd, creepy, funny, The Black Lagoon meets the Six Gun universe. You need this."
Salvage This World (2023)
Michael Farris Smith
"Man, did I like this one. Southern, wet and gritty. Storm-filled and laced with fear and tension, as well as realistic and engaging characters, I found this world grimly enticing."
This Train (2022)
James Grady
"James Grady is a long-established master of the thriller, and he proves it here. Grab your hat, and don't let the strong wind of suspense blow it off. Highly recommended."
Body Shocks (2021)
Ellen Datlow
"The most respected anthologist of our time, Ellen Datlow has earned a permanent place in the history of prominent editorship of the dark and fantastic. She has left a mark that is unlikely to be surpassed."
