BEST SELLERS!
Both of our top-selling books for this year so far have been from M. Ennenbach, a literary genius in a genre of his own!
CUCKOO will take you on an emotional fever-dream that you will leave sobbing at the end and ready to read it again.
SUBJECT A has been taking fans of Alice in Wonderland on a dark and twisted journey down the darkest rabbit hole imaginable. Find out what happens in the story, behind the story in this dark reimagining of the classic tale.
“Ennenbach is one of the most unique and talented voices in literature today. Every work is provocative with a sort of unusual wildness that is both captivating and suffused with a comforting sense of ‘otherness’ that I think so many of us crave...”—Megan Stockton, author of LOVELY, DARK, AND DEEP
“Poetry in motion, M Ennenbach delivers the universal truths every one of us faces in our lives. Fear, elation, uncertainty, horror, love, and every emotion in between have its place layered within his prose, reminding us all what it is to be human. As a reader, go in with your mind open to explore just how far down the rabbit hole this author is willing to go.”—RJ Roles, author of NECRONADO
A liminal space has been prepared for you.
In this dark collection of short verse, Fredrick Niles explores all the tender longings of home, wilderness, memory, and grief.
Sometimes grim, and occasionally wry, Niles wields wit and wordcraft to render all the grim tidings of the future and the yearning nostalgia of the past into a landscape of quiet purpose and deep feeling.
Now is the time to step into that liminal space. Now is the time to dig up whatever it was you buried in that sacred soil.
"These passages are raw wounds trying desperately to heal - as dark as they are beautiful, as real as they are dreamlike, and as painful as they are hopeful. Together, they reveal a story of someone trying to be something better in a world trying to tear them apart."--Patrick Tumblety, Author of Come Out and Play
Fleeing her father's cruelty, Beatrix Beaumont arrives in Yellow Creek City with little more than a name and a will to survive. When she lands work as a caretaker in the home of a respected town leader, it seems like a stroke of luck.
But the house holds dark secrets—and Bea is no longer free.
As she's drawn deeper into a twisted world of control and illusion, Bea must confront the shadows within and around her. To escape, she'll have to decide what she's willing to endure… and who she's willing to become.
“Amanda Headlee’s prose is as swift and deadly as a sharpened scalpel. THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE will drag you swiftly into the dark to revel in the vengeance its tale elicits.”-- Katherine Silva, author of Undead Folk and Where The Soul Goes
“A visceral autopsy of the darkness that creates infamy. Headlee dissects villainy to create an icon.”—LCW Allingham, Author of Muse

“A searing horror debut overflowing with incredible and haunting imagery. This one will make you think twice about your next house renovation.”— Gwendolyn Kiste, Four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE HAUNTING OF VELKWOOD and RELUCTANT IMMORTALS
“MOLTING is madness, a downward spiral in the most authentic way, unapologetic as it shreds your psyche.”—Nick Roberts, THE EXORCIST’S HOUSE and LYLA, IN THE FLESH
“Kathryn Tennison has written a book that truly hooked me. Molting is tense, leading, and ultimately, one of the most horrifyingly engaging stories that I’ve read this year. From start to finish, this is incredible storytelling!”—Somer Canon, author of YOU’RE MINE

“One Fright Only is an attention grabbing tale packed with hidden mysteries that refuses to let its reader go. Tumblety has crafted an ingenious story that draws you into a world of his own making. This tale will keep you guessing until the very end. Another absolute masterpiece from this rising star!”—Zach Martin, author of The Elevator Game
Award-nominated Poet Rei Alyssa Murray
brings the beauty of emotional melodic verse to Uncomfortably Dark, showcasing pain, loss, grief, and sorrow in ways that hurt as much as it enthralls.
This one is for fans of dark poetry, and pure honest emotion.
In All the Ways, a Drowning is an omnibus containing Cries to Kill the Corpse Flower, Lost Letters to a Lover’s Carcass, and the evocative conclusion to a powerful trilogy of loosely connected poetry collections, Through a Gauntlet, Phantom Haunted.
This collection delves deep into the heart of self-discovery, tracing the intricate journey of healing from mental illness and trauma. With grinding honesty and lyrical darkness, the poems confront the ghosts of childhood pain, revealing how deeply buried wounds can manifest in behaviors that harm others.
Through each verse, the reader is invited to witness the transformative power of understanding and self-forgiveness, culminating in a poignant exploration of redemption and renewal.
Peter O'Keefe's WHITE FLIGHT tells the tale of a couple suffering a tragic loss that leaves them questioning everything from their motivations to their past lives, all while their house is trying to get rid of them...for good.
Joel and Willow Ward are white. Their Black teenage daughter, adopted at birth, was just killed by the police.
Now, their house is trying to kill them, and the grieving parents are trying to understand why.
And survive the night.
“White Flight by Peter O’Keefe opened with a roar and then I couldn’t work my finger fast enough to keep up. A married couple attempts to navigate an unspoken tragedy haunting every corner of their dream house - and every layer of their dreams. But there’s an undercurrent of racial disquiet lingering in the air that kept me on edge, like I was waiting on the other shoe to drop. O’Keefe deftly sets the landscape and paints a picture of a home wrapped in overwhelming sadness and dysfunction, but he also builds an unsettling suspense that makes you clench your throat because you just know there’s something else there. And there is...something else.” — Kenya Moss-Dyme, author of SEED
