Please Note:

“Malerman is one of the most intelligent writers of horror fiction working today.”—Bookreporter

Five harrowing novellas of horror and speculative fiction from the singular mind of the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, featuring the World Fantasy Award winning “Half the House Is Haunted”

BRAM STOKER AWARD FINALIST • AN ESQUIRE AND LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Josh Malerman is a master weaver of stories—and in this spine-chilling collection he spins five twisted tales from the shadows of the human soul:

A sister insists to her little brother that “Half the House Is Haunted” by a strange presence. But is it the house that’s haunted—or their childhoods?

In “Argyle,” a dying man confesses to homicides he never committed, and he reveals long-kept secrets far more sinister than murder.

A tourist takes the ultimate trip to outer space in “The Jupiter Drop,” but the real journey is into his own dark past.

In “Doug and Judy Buy the House Washer™,” a trendy married couple buys the latest home gadget only to find themselves trapped by their possessions, their history . . . and each other.

And in “Egorov,” a wealthy old cretin murders a young man, not knowing the victim was a triplet. The two surviving brothers stage a savage faux-haunting—playing the ghost of their slain brother—with the aim of driving the old murderer mad.

“An absolute triumph, a masterpiece of suspense, emotion, and flat-out terror … It’s one of this year’s can’t-miss books, and a journey you won’t soon forget.”—Paste Magazine

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM 20TH CENTURY FOX

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER

Named a Best Book of 2023 by Book Riot, Shelf Awareness, and NPR

The Martian meets 127 Hours in this “astoundingly great” (Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and scientifically accurate thriller about a scuba diver who’s been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton s***m whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.

Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it’s a long shot, but Jay feels it’s the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad’s death by su***de the previous year.

The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a s***m whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid’s tentacles and drawn into the whale’s mouth where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale.

Suspenseful and cinematic, Whalefall is a “powerfully humane” (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has given up on life … only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.

Officially Announcing HORROR MOVIE by Paul Tremblay (Signed Limited Edition)

SST is pleased to announce Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay (Signed & Numbered Limited Hardcover) is now available for preorder.

Please Note:
Unfortunately, special offers or discount codes cannot be applied to this item.

“Balancing a terrifying cursed film with examinations of artistic creation, fandom, and truth, Tremblay’s latest is smart and well-paced and will have broad appeal.”—Library Journal (starred review)

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

A chilling twist on the “cursed film” genre from the bestselling author of The Pallbearers Club and The Cabin at the End of the World.

In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick.

The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot.

The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy. As memories flood back in, the boundaries between reality and film, past and present start to blur. But he’s going to help remake the film, even if it means navigating a world of cynical producers, egomaniacal directors, and surreal fan conventions—demons of the past be damned.

But at what cost?

Horror Movie is an obsessive, psychologically chilling, and suspenseful feat of storytelling genius that builds inexorably to an unforgettable, mind-bending conclusion.

Signed Limited Hardcover Edition:
- Limited to only 500 signed and hand-numbered copies
- Personally signed by Paul Tremblay on a specially designed full-colour illustrated signature page
- 6.14” x 9.21” trim size
- 368 pages
- Printed on a heavier 100gsm acid-free paper

- Hot foil stamping on the front boards and spine
- Offset printed and bound with full-colour endpapers
- Sewn binding for increased durability
- Ribbon page marker

- Hot foil stamping on the front and spine
- All handmade

https://sstpublications.co.uk/hm-p-tremblay.html

I am producing an optional slipcase with all new titles now and am currently looking at an estimated pub date of November/December 2025 for this title.

PLEASE NOTE: Orders containing more than one book/copy:
If you are trying to place an order for more than one book and the system doesn’t provide a shipping cost, it’s because it has difficulty working out the shipping charges for more than one book as each book is charged as if it ships separately to cover Preorders and In Stock titles, which have to be shipped separately so therefore incur two separate shipping charges.

Please place your order for each book separately and if they can be shipped together (if they are all In Stock titles, or multiple copies of the same Preorder title) I will do so and refund the shipping difference.

USA Shipping Update

I’ve received confirmation from the company I book my USPS and Courier shipping through, and books are exempt from the new customs charges so there will be no additional charges for your order.

Royal Mail charge a handling fee but I will prepay that charge before shipping your order so there will be no additional charges for your order.

Thanks & take care,
Paul.

Announcing Sugar on the Bones by Joe R. Lansdale

“Edgar winner Lansdale excels in his savagely funny 13th case for East Texas P*s Hap Collins and Leonard Pine… Blood-splattered action and a welcome spoonful of irreverent humor make this a surefire hit. It’s a high-water mark for the series.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In this holy mess of a case for the "perpetual bad boy" (New York Times) sleuths in the beloved Hap and Leonard series, PI Duo Hap and Leonard investigate the untimely death of a woman whose family stood much to gain from her passing.

Minnie Polson is dead. Burned to a crisp in a fire so big and bad it had to be deliberate. The only thing worse is that Hap and Leonard could have prevented it. Maybe. Minnie had a feeling she was being targeted, shaken down by some shadowy force. However, when she’d solicited Hap & Leonard, all it took was one off color joke to turn her sour and she’d called them off the investigation. Wracked with a guilty conscience, the two P*s—along with Hap’s fleet-footed wife, Brett—tuck in to the case. As they look closer, they dredge up troublesome facts: for one, Minnie’s daughter, Alice, has recently vanished. She’d been hard up after her pet grooming business went under and was in line to collect a whopping insurance sum should anything happen to her mother. The same was due to Minnie’s estranged husband, Al, whose kryptonite (beautiful, money-grubbing women) had left him with only a run-down mobile home. But did Minnie’s foolish, cash-strapped family really have it in them to commit a crime this grisly? Or is there a larger, far more sinister scheme at work?

Irreverent, wise-cracking, and full of atmosphere and bite, Sugar on the Bones is not to be missed.

Announcing Stinger by Robert McCammon

I’m pleased to announce Stinger (Signed & Traycased Limited Hardcover Edition) by Robert McCammon.

“McCammon delivers terror with skillful ferocity.”—Publishers Weekly

The basis for the Peacock TV series Teacup: An extraterrestrial bounty hunter turns a Southern community into its private hunting ground in “the ultimate horror novel” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn’t the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it’s the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds.

It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet—because it’s looking for her. Stinger is an alien bounty hunter with an infinite capacity for death and a devious plan to find Daufin. Entombing the region in an inescapable dome, Stinger unleashes a violent fury unknown to humankind. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond.

From Robert McCammon, the New York Times–bestselling and Bram Stoker Award–winning author, Stinger is “one of the best suspense novels of recent years” (Science Fiction Chronicle). It has now been adapted into one of the most hotly anticipated horror series on television: Teacup, premiered on Peacock in October 2024.

https://sstpublications.co.uk/r-mccammon-stinger.html

I have all the finished books in stock. I’m just waiting for the traycases to be made and am currently looking at an estimated pub date of end of October 2025. (It takes several weeks for the covering materials to be delivered to the casemakers from Europe and then the cases have to be made.)

PLEASE NOTE: Orders containing more than one book/copy:
If you are trying to place an order for more than one book and the system doesn’t provide a shipping cost, it’s because it has difficulty working out the shipping charges for more than one book as each book is charged as if it ships separately to cover Preorders and In Stock titles, which have to be shipped separately so therefore incur two separate shipping charges.
Please place your order for each book separately and if they can be shipped together (if they are all In Stock titles, or multiple copies of the same Preorder title) I will do so and refund the shipping difference.

Thank you & take care,

Announcing THE BEAST YOU ARE by Paul Tremblay
“A wonderful collection of short fiction. These 15 gems, polished to perfection, range from straight-up horror to speculative fiction to psychological terror . . . . This one’s a must-have.”—Booklist (starred review)

Paul Tremblay has won widespread acclaim for illuminating the dark horrors of the mind in novels and stories that push the boundaries of storytelling itself. The fifteen pieces in this brilliant collection, The Beast You Are, are all monsters of a kind, ready to loudly (and lovingly) smash through your head and into your heart.

In “The Dead Thing,” a middle-schooler struggles to deal with the aftermath of her parents’ substance addictions and split. One day, her little brother claims he found a shoebox with “the dead thing” inside. He won’t show it to her and he won’t let the box out of his sight. In “The Last Conversation,” a person wakes in a sterile, white room and begins to receive instructions via intercom from a woman named Anne. When they are finally allowed to leave the room to complete a task, what they find is as shocking as it is heartbreaking.

The title novella, “The Beast You Are,” is a mini epic in which the destinies and secrets of a village, a dog, and a cat are intertwined with a giant monster that returns to wreak havoc every thirty years.

A masterpiece of literary horror and psychological suspense, The Beast You Are is a fearlessly imagined collection from one of the most electrifying and innovative writers working today.
