Happy Book Birthday to Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions, the new collection of cosmic horror from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Fisherman, John Langan! 🥳

Shipping of Word Horde preorders is slightly delayed as the signed bookplates make their way across the country. 😅 if you ordered a bundle with an eBook, watch for an email with the download link. It’s a slow manual process, and there are a whole lot of orders (THANK YOU!), but we are making our way through the list in order as quickly as we can.

Word Horde is just two people and we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding once we are able to begin the shipping process.
