Cover reveal for our inaugural publication, “100 Ways to Die” 💀 We’ve sent it off to press for our proof copies and will be sharing links to order real soon.

To touch base on our other projects, here’s where we’re at:

“Cryptids & Conspiracies” — we’re working on final edits and those will be sent out to accepted authors in the coming week.

“When the Wind Blows” — we’re still reading through submissions, as we got far more than expected! We hope to be finished by the end of the week and have all responses sent out then, as well as edits coming towards the end of the month.

“All Hallow’s Eve” — we just closed for submissions on this one, so we haven’t caught up with reading all of the submissions yet. Since this is our October publication, edits will be together and out shortly after all responses have been sent. We’re looking at next week for all of those to be out.

We thank all of you for your patience while we’ve been busy getting everything together and reading all your wonderful submissions. There’s only two of us running everything behind the scenes, and we’re honored we’ve had such an amazing submission response to our calls. Thank you again for your understanding and patience 🙏🏻 We can’t wait to share your work this year!
