For those who missed the live reading this weekend, you can check out Christi Nogle, Brian Evenson, Daniel Braum, and Jo Kaplan reading from their stories in our anthology. They address questions of what is the postmodern in horror and discuss their contributions to the book. It was a great panel!

BOOK ALERT!

Friday 13th is a fitting date to finally launch our first anthology "A Darkness Visible: Explorations of Horror in the Postmodern". Through blood, sweat and many tears we proudly present a collective of new work from award-winning authors and new rising stars.

A Darkness Visible seeks to challenge the traditional form of horror storytelling and reflect how we perceive our modern world, reality, and fears. This collective of new works capture the horror that runs through the heart of our hyper-mediated and global twenty-first-century culture.

A Darkness Visible features work from Jonathan Sims, Justin Burnett, Brian Evenson, Tyler Jones, Christi Nogle, John Joseph Ryan, Michael Harris Cohen, Alistair Rey, Xander Thomas, Shelley Lavigne, Jo Kaplan, Michael Fassbender, Gemma Files and more.

We are extremely proud of our first exploration into Post-Modern Horror and eternally grateful to all our wonderful authors, every single contributor and everyone who provided advice along the way.

Shop links are below. Please help spread the word and exploring A Darkness Visible with us.

All of the loves.
