At Dark, I Become Loathsome
From the Bram Stoker Award®-finalist and Splatterpunk Award-winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, a grim yet gentle, horrifying yet hopeful tale of grief, trauma, and love.
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely thought that the world would be a better place without you.
A single line of text, glowing in the darkness of the internet. Written by Ashley Lutin, who has often thought that, and worse, in the years since his wife died and his young son disappeared. But the peace of the grave is not for Ashley—it’s for those he can help. Ashley Lutin has constructed a peculiar ritual for those whose desire to die is at war with their yearning to live a better life.
Struggling to overcome his never-ending grief, one night Ashley connects with Jinx, who spins a tale both revolting and fascinating. This begins a relationship that traps the men in a tightening spiral of painful revelations, where long-hidden secrets are dragged, kicking and screaming, into the light.
Only through pain can we find healing. Only through death can we find life.

Temné síly: Zapomenutá švédská verze Draculy
„Temné síly představují jeden z největších objevů v dlouhé historii draculovského příběhu...“ píše ve své předmluvě John E. Browning, expert v oblasti hororového a upírského žánru.
Jedná se o unikátní verzi mistrovského krvavého díla Brama Stokera, která vyšla v roce 1899 ve Švédsku. Je to kniha dvojnásobného rozsahu než klasický román z roku 1897 a také podstatně víc nabitá erotikou i násilím. Není pochyb o tom, že se Bram Stoker na vzniku Temných sil podílel, ať už vědomě, či nevědomě.
Setkáváme se zde se spoustou postav a motivů, které najdeme ve Stokerových poznámkách k Draculovi, z konečné verze je však autor vyškrtl. Literární vědci se shodují na tom, že Temné síly vycházejí z rané verze klasického Draculy. Následně byl román v podstatně zkrácené podobně přeložen do islandštiny, originál je však toto!
Milovníci Draculy i noví čtenáři dostávají do rukou značně odlišný příběh se zcela novým koncem. Hrabě Dracula nehodlá pouze rozšířit upíří krev do celého světa, ale v rámci spiknutí se světovými mocnáři chystá nastolení fašistického světového řádu spjatého s uctíváním pohanských bohů při krvavých obřadech.
A po draculovském hradu v Karpatech se prochází Bílá paní, neodolatelná kráska, která se svými polibky pokouší vlákat advokátního koncipienta Tomase Harkera do tenat zkázy.

Když Anabela dorazí na místo, Danielova kolegyně jí sdělí své podezření, že jeho smrt možná nebyla přirozená a mohla souviset s jeho novinářskou prací.

S pomocí soukromého detektiva se Anabela pokouší odhalit pravdu, zatímco ji pronásledují vzpomínky na bratra, o kterém si myslela, že ho dobře zná. Ve světě politiky a peněz ale není nikdo bez viny.
Body of Water
For fans of Stephen King’s The Mist and the HBO hit show The Last of Us comes a wildly inventive, sinister thriller following an estranged father and daughter who find themselves trapped in a diner by a living body of water.
Don't let the water drag you down…
It’s been six years since Glen Masters lost his wife in a tragic accident. In hopes of reconnecting with his grieving teenage daughter, Lauren, he decides to take her on a road trip through the Appalachian mountains, where he has fond memories of their past as a family. But what was supposed to be a quick diner pit stop suddenly transforms into a nightmare when armed men stumble in, ranting about a mysterious and deadly “living water” that attacked several people up the road. The story the men spin seems to be the rantings of drunken lunatics, but soon Glen, his daughter, and the other diners find themselves hostages to both the gunmen and the inexplicably terrifying entity.
Because there's truly something wrong with the water, and it has no mercy.
Panic grows as the diners play witness to a nature-defying being that seeks only to swallow everything in its path. With help nowhere in sight, the group of strangers must work together to devise an escape, and ultimately, Glen will have to face his worst fears to reconcile with the past or risk losing everything.
A chilling story from a brand-new voice in fiction, Body of Water explores the complicated nature of grief, terror, and the ghosts we must confront to survive.

Its Not a Cult
Callum, Melusine and Al play in a band with no name, baffling audiences in terrible pubs across the north-east of England with their ‘sound’. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, of mishap and mayhem. Absolutely no one knows what they’re on about.
But they believe in their music, and in each other. And they’re happy. That is, until an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral, they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly go from having a cult following to having a cult, following.
All the Solkats want, Callum insists, is to have effect on the world. But as fans from LA to Australia flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily… real. Which poses the question: if the Solkats really do exist, which is it more dangerous to anger: a wayward group of elder gods, or your biggest fans? Because gods and cults both demand sacrifices.
And one way or another they’re going to get one…
