The Essential Horror of Joe R. Lansdale (2025)
Joe R Lansdale
"When it comes to horror, nobody throws down harder, gets the joke more ferociously, or cares more deeply about the casualties of this long-suffering earth. This book is flat-out incredible."

Glass Children (2023)
Carlton Mellick III
"I'm a huuuuge Bizarro fan. This new strain of cheerfully transgressive weird fiction is to me the most vibrant, exciting, genre-mangling scenein all of strange literature today. And no one holds dominion over this blossoming underground phenomenon like the godfather of Bizarro,Carlton Mellick III. With the most impressive sideburns in imaginative lit since Isaac Asimov, and a brain that squirts out more shamelessly playful originality in any given chapter than most artists will accomplish in their entire lives, he's the poster boy. The Elvis. As well he should be."

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke And Other Misfortunes (2022)
Eric LaRocca
"A hauntingly elegant, masterfully written, and ultimately devastating indictment of cruel manipulation and even crueler submission. This is one deeply fucked-up heartbreaker. You have been warned."
