If you haven’t discovered Mark Sieber’s incredible horror history trilogy yet, now’s the perfect time.

Each book dives deep into a different decade of horror, exploring the movies, books, creators, and cultural moments that shaped the genre we love. Packed with sharp insight, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for horror’s evolution, these are must-reads for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Rue Morgue recently praised the series, calling it “...there is no better reference guide...”

And right now? Every title in the trilogy is just 99 cents.

A killer deal for horror readers -- but it won’t last forever.

"Sieber is my favorite horror essayist. The way he fights for the creators he loves never fails to inspire me."
--Daniel Kraus, Pulitzer Prize Winner and NYT best selling author of Whalefall

"If you want a good idea of how the horror culture evolved over the decades, there is no better reference guide than the He Who Types Between the Rows books. They represent a first-person account from someone who was there in the trenches from the start. Writers trying to create tales about the past would do well to polish up their knowledge through these books."
--Rue Morgue

Behind by Bentley Little is now available for the first time in paperback!

Behind was first published as a limited edition hardcover, and now is available in both paperback and eBook formats! Grab your copy today!

When he was a little boy, there was a house behind Alex Lowry's house. Except he was the only one who could see it. Only he could hear the woman singing from within.
Decades later, after the pandemic costs Alex his corporate job, he picks up work delivering specialty items to homebound clientele and, against all odds, he realizes he enjoys his new life. His world is simpler. Quieter. Until he once more hears the tuneless, wordless song of the woman from the house behind. Until the cracks in the facade of his simple, quiet life begin to yawn, and a past he thought he had outrun begins to gain on him.

Until he finds himself slipping into the world behind.

A very happy release day to James Cooper! Little Boy is out today and available for the first time in paperback and eBook!

The eBook is available for 99 cents for a limited time, or free with Kindle Unlimited! Grab your copy of this coming of age thriller today!

Cover art by the incredible François Vaillancourt!

From the imagination of James Cooper, one of Britain's foremost writers of dark fiction, comes the story of Fergus and Ralph, two twelve-year-olds hurtling towards adolescence and about to begin a startling journey that will reveal both the world's tenderness and horror in equal measure.

After witnessing a strange midnight event, the two boys are drawn into a shocking mystery that takes shape around them, encountering--among other things--savage delinquents, a painted giant, and the terror of a breathtaking European revenge ritual.

And underpinning it all is Little Boy itself: a glass replica of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, capturing the beauty and fragility of every human journey since time began; including the extraordinary rite of passage undertaken by Fergus and Ralph.

An unforgettable tale of childhood, friendship, and family, Little Boy is both a heartwarming and unsettling coming-of-age story that will resonate with every generation, old and young alike, who have shared the experience of what it means to run wild and free in an uncompromising world.

Gorilla in My Room by Jack Ketchum is now live! Previously published as a limited edition hardcover, it is now available in eBook and paperback! You can grab the eBook for just 99 cents - this week only!

Jack Ketchum's final collection of short stories, full of the horror and terror we've come to love and expect from the author Stephen King has called, "one of the best in the business."

What Ketchum has crafted in these stories are portrayals of the starkest, darkest aspects of the human condition. These stories are enthralling, expertly constructed, and very very powerful. Some will put a lump in your throat. Some will make you laugh. Some will have you squirming. Some might be so intense and disturbing that they leave you no choice but to put it aside for awhile, catch your breath, and finish when you've worked up the guts.

This is fiction that does far more than "entertain," and it goes far beyond what we expect when we read "horror." No haunted houses here, no pitchfork-wielding devils with horns on their heads. The only monsters are the very worst kind: humans.
