On sale now: Vistas of Carrion by Matthew M. Bartlett.

Vistas of Carrion contains forty-seven short stories and uncanny transmissions written by Matthew M. Bartlett, each part and parcel of the unique world of his fiction. The entries explore the profane streets and environs of Leeds, Massachusetts, or journey into arcane and unknown blasphemies beyond it. The omnibus contains both beloved entries from Bartlett’s oeuvre and previously uncollected treasures.

The contents span a gamut of lengths and styles, from the sinister brevity of flash fiction pieces like “The Land of Leeds” to the lingering dread of longer narratives like “Gaspar.” This omnibus, published by Chiroptera Press, showcases Bartlett's formidable imagination and distinctive voice. It is little wonder that horror writer Laird Barron names Bartlett “the legitimate heir to Ligotti, Aickman, and the other giants of weird fiction.”

Each of the pieces in this generously sized collection immerses the reader a world where the line between the macabre and the mundane is deliciously blurred. Bartlett’s fiction doesn’t just unsettle—it sticks the knife in and twists with a grin, with a chuckle in the dark. Vistas of Carrion cements Bartlett’s reputation as one of the most singular and important authors of contemporary horror fiction.

Available as a deluxe limited hardcover and softcover. Overseas customers can purchase from

ON SALE NOW! Charnel Glamour by Mark Samuels.

Crouching defiantly in the shadow of London’s expanding metropolis is Gallows Langley: a watchful hoarder of memories at one end of mystery-haunted Thool Valley. Visitors from the capital must beware. Here they are liable to stray into a universe of unsuspected forces, an abyss on their doorstep, and their enlightened urban values are poor talismans against what awaits.

Of the nine extraordinary tales contained herein, seven form the Gallows Langley Sequence. Thool Valley takes shape as a vortex of iniquitous cults and sinister distortions of reality. Secret passages run in labyrinthine ways, connecting tales. The final two titles are the magisterial ‘If Destiny Still Reigns’, chilling as its Siberian setting, and the mist-wreathed, valedictory ‘The End of Death’, a case of missing persons and a dispatch on Last Things. Both stand worthy as the last fictional testimony of a considerable author.

Since the appearance of The White Hands and Other Weird Tales in 2003, Mark Samuels has forged a distinctive and uncompromising body of weird and horror fiction, earning praise from such voices as T.E.D. Klein and Michael Dirda. In this edition, Charnel Glamour forms the first publication of the last writings from one of this century’s pre-eminent weird authors. Hailed already by pre-publication readers as his greatest collection, Charnel Glamour is the black swan-song of an author whose reputation will now only grow.

This limited first edition includes an introduction by Matt Cardin and art by Eli John. Available overseas through .

ON SALE NOW! Michigan Basement by Thomas Ligotti and Brandon Trenz.

As a child, Jeffrey could see nachtwachers, or night watchers, moving in the corners of his bedroom — and his mother didn’t deny their existence ... While he managed to suppress his fear of the dark and what lurks there, enough of it lingered to direct him toward the study of anthropology under the sinister Dr. Rekalde, who assures him that reality is an illusion.

Jeffrey and his partner Jean, both struggling young academics, are drawn by Rekalde’s oblique invitations to the sort of town all readers of Ligotti will recognize at once. Skinner is a crummy, run-down little place in the middle of nowhere, a place that seems barely real, and that hides a terrible secret: the night watchers.

For the Ligotti reader, Michigan Basement was nothing more than a rumor, a film script that may or may not have ever existed. Chiroptera Press is proud to bring to print for the first time, a missing piece of the Thomas Ligotti library, Michigan Basement. Our edition includes a brand new Introduction by co-writer Brandon Trenz and art by Dave Felton. Available in a limited signed deluxe edition and standard paperback. On sale this Friday at noon eastern time. More soon. Overseas customers can purchase through .
