John Palisano recommends
The Shuddering Breath Before Oblivion (2025)
Taylor Grant
"Taylor Grant's stories burrow into your mind like a dark seed, innocuous at first, growing until they overtake you. These stories are all winners, each bringing Grant's classic blend of twist-filled California macabre with a heaping dose of EC comics. This volume is a terrific testament to a life's work ... one that should find a place on the shelf amongst his heroes and peers."
Beasts of 42nd Street (2023)
Preston Fassel
"Like a strip of diseased celluloid... a work of gritty, haunting storytelling. You won't be able to forget Andy Lew's descent into forbidden cinema."
It Will Just Be Us (2020)
Jo Kaplan
"Jo Kaplan's It Will Just Be Us is a chilling, poetic, modern Gothic masterpiece. Evocative and reflective, this is a story that haunted my imagination for many a night."
