Frank Duffy has a new release available now. WE TAKE THEM WHEN YOU'RE NOT LOOKING is receiving rave reviews from early readers and contains a wide variety of stories sure to raise the hair on the back of your neck and have you keeping the lights on long into the night!
We Take Them When You’re Not Looking contains sixteen short stories lurking on the dark periphery of the imagination.
From Polish folklore deities to subterranean Elder Gods…From serial killers hiding in plain sight to a convention of horror authors with something to hide…From the generational trauma of the Second World War to the Devil’s daughter…
These are but a taste of the horrors gestating within these pages.
Early Praise:
"Frank Duffy's prolific output of horror fiction is created from a place of knowledge of the genre with which he writes. He knows what works, along with bringing to the table his invaluable wealth of experience. Duffy writes with great effectiveness in his own unique style and manner, often to the backdrop of authentic societal issues. Like the Italian neo-realism filmmakers of the mid-twentieth century, Duffy shines a much-needed light on these pertinent topics through the medium of entertaining horror fiction."-Trevor Kennedy, editor of Phantasmagoria Magazine.
“Like prising open a creaking crypt door and slowly descending down wet mossy steps into the unknown, this collection of stories will chill you to your core. You’ll be taken on a trip to places where dark creatures dwell by your guide, the talented Frank Duffy.”- Shaun McClure, host of the Retrospective Geek Podcast
With a mortician’s meticulousness, Frank Duffy’s latest collection, We Take Them When You’re Not Looking, examines the darker threads linking human (and inhuman) relationships. One can’t help but read the author with a suspicion that, of our sordid secrets, he possesses a peculiar prescience—an unsettling awareness of how our habits

Walton McCoy is a young man who has done everything right in life. He’s ready to take a chance on himself and see the country to find out where he belongs in this world.
Before he can leave, a night of passion and a simple scratch change his world forever. Now he must control himself while running from hunters who know all too well what you do with a beast that’s gone mad.

P.M. Raymond has her new release as well!
THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE and other words to die for is an interconnected Southern gothic noir journey from Reconstruction New Orleans to a present-day landscape of terror. Each story invests the reader in a setting and characters that traverse the fringes of the Louisiana swamps, pool halls in New Orleans, and attics filled with boxes of cherished memories, each tale patinaed with desperation and death.
An exploration of greed, vengeance, and generational trauma in tales that center Louisiana and its rich history of the wicked, the haunted, and the unforgiven who refuse to rest.
Early Praise...
“Creepy, atmospheric, and jam-packed with unease, P.M. Raymond has expertly crafted worlds that made me uncomfortable in all the best ways. She had a fresh and unique voice that sings through characters and settings. These stories will haunt me for a very long time.” — Steph Nelson, author of MAKE NO MISTAKE
"THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE…is an incisive collection of Southern Gothic stories where inheritance and power often lead to violence. P.M. Raymond blends folklore, social horror and the supernatural, while exploring vengeance and the brutal cost of maintaining order. Justice is rare. Innocence does not always survive, and monsters rarely hide. Sharp and precise." — Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of CHILDREN OF CHICAGO
"The imaginative stories in P.M. Raymond’s THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE And Other Words to Die For slip between Southern Gothic, thriller noir, and atmospheric horror with ease, bending reality till the familiar turns treacherous. Inside these pages lurk meddling ghosts, monstrous humans, and even a Santa gone wicked. Together, these tales guide the reader through a landscape of the strange, the cursed, and the beautifully unsettling." — Andrew K. Clark, author of WHERE DARK THINGS GROW and WHERE DARK THINGS RISE

THE RESURRECTION GIRL by Nathan D. Ludwig is available now.
Anastasia Fell has the power to resurrect the dead.
The government exploits this ability in order to “defib” murderers at the scene of a crime. Innocent victims are left to rot while the feds look good with their conviction numbers. Naturally, this has taken a severe mental toll on Fell and she is desperate to break free and make a real difference.
She gets more than she bargained for when her longtime obsessions in the Butcher Brothers, a pair of ritualistic cannibal siblings, carve a bloody swath through the American Midwest searching for a hidden and haunted Shoshone reservation where the infamous Wendigo walks freely.
With a defiant hostage in tow, the brothers intend to harness the power of immortality from the legendary creature while Fell gives desperate chase to save what victims she can as it becomes increasingly clear that their destination is a godforsaken wasteland where no one gets out alive.
Early Praise!
"...there's no slow build here; things start fast and finish fast, leaving rarely a chance to catch your breath...THE RESURRECTION GIRL is one hell of an adventure that will stay with you long after reading." - Mark Towse, author of Nana & The Sound of Suffering
“RESURRECTION GIRL is like Natural Born Killers meets King’s The Dead Zone, with a topping of cannibal sprinkles. An intense, gritty thrill ride that is equal parts supernatural horror, gritty noir, and bloody fun.” - Richard Beauchamp, Splatterpunk Award-Nominated author of Thrall & Our Lord, The Worm
"THE RESURRECTION GIRL is a high-octane pleasure drenched in blood that never lets up!" - Chris DiLeo, author of The Hands of Onan & What Ever Happened to Jo Rose?
"Overall, RESURRECTION GIRL is an entertaining read! Cinematic in scope! Blood-soaked badassery!"- Evan Baughman, playwright and author of Try Not to Die in a Dark Fantasy
