Pinfeathers (2026)
Christina Henry
"Christina Henry transforms an impossible premise into a gripping tale of motherhood, body horror, and the terrifying sacrifices we make to protect the ones we love. Visceral, tender, and utterly original, Pinfeathers proves once more that horror and heart are birds of a feather."
thumb
Monstera (2026)
Delilah S Dawson
"Lush, sensual, and brimming with rage, Monstera coils around you like a living thing-rooted in longing, blooming in terror."
thumb
Carry Me to My Grave (2026)
Christopher Golden
"Golden writes horror the way it should be written: propulsive, relentless, and monstrous. With prose as sharp as bones and tension that creeps under your skin and tangles through your veins, Carry Me to My Grave takes root in the dark - and refuses to die. A roaring, bloody, feral ride."
