An EXPERIMENT gone wrong. A SURVIVOR under suspicion. A teen searching for the TRUTH. Ostracized by her friends, Nala finds solace creating true crime content for her YouTube channel. When she breaks into her mother’s private investigator files and finds evidence of multiple teen deaths during a sleep experiment in the 2000s, she’s shocked to see the sole survivor is her schoolteacher. She creates a sensationalist video, outing him as a suspect. Josh is tormented by what happened during The Fovea Experiments. He gets through the days by throwing himself into his job as a teacher, and survives the nights with a little liquid courage. Nala’s video puts him under suspicion once more, and the trauma he experienced as a teen takes him to breaking point. As he fights to clear his name, he discovers his worst nightmare is unfolding. Because The Fovea Experiments are happening again. And, this time, the people behind it are determined to see it through to the end. Some say the eyes are the window to the soul. Or are they a doorway to something far worse?

To the authors: We have brought in a few more submissions to try to get through things quicker. We acknowledge that we should be through the submissions by now and that the wait has been longer than expected. For this, we apologize. We are getting through them, though, we promise. Half the problem is that so many of them are really good. Just when we think we found one we want, the next submission is just as good! But we can't possibly take them all, unfortunately.

A quiet manor. An eccentric family. A TERRIBLE SECRET.

For fans of "The Haunting of Hill House" and "The Haunting of Bly Manor"

Noelle, a tragedy-ridden hospice worker with a unique connection to death, accepts a job caring for the dying patriarch of the reclusive August family at their lakefront manor just outside the town of Bell River, Oregon. The house does not have electricity, and the eccentric nature of the family is displayed through the grotesque artwork that lines the walls of the manor.

As Noelle wrestles with her own struggles with understanding her connection to death, she is also plunged headfirst into the dark mysteries surrounding the August family. The dying patriarch who she is strangely never able to see. The head of the household incapable of giving a straight answer, and a boy unable to speak but clearly terrified of something.

But above all, she must uncover the answers behind the ashen footprints she finds all over the house at night and the withered figure she sees looming at the tree line across the lake.

As a child, Josh Finley is abducted by pe*****le Michael Traynor. After 19 days of unimaginable horror, he manages to escape, but in the aftermath, he has amnesia from the trauma. The last thing he remembers of his time in captivity is seeing the dead body of another of Traynor's young victims. Ten years later, FBI Special Agent John Rodriguez asks for Josh's help to try and identify the murdered boy and find where Traynor buried the remains. Rodriguez says Traynor is willing to cooperate, but on one condition: He'll only talk to Josh. In coming face-to-face with the man who has haunted him for so many years, Josh uncovers darker secrets than he ever imagined possible, and a horrifying fate that this time, he cannot hope to escape.

Wicked House Publishing is PUMPED to announce the signing of William F. Gray's latest novel ALL THESE PIECES OF YOU for release in late 2026/early 2027. And if the submission readers are to be trusted, this is believed to be William's best book to date, and perhaps one of the best books you'll ever read.

PET SEMETARY meets FRANKENSTEIN with a healthy dash of SINISTER in ALL THESE PIECES OF YOU.

Horror author River Bennett is in what seems like the twilight of his career. Desperate for a success after diminishing returns with each novel, his current struggles rip open old wounds and puts both his family and his mental health in jeopardy. Things only get worse when his stepson Philip makes a peculiar friend who latches onto him, leading to a series of horrifying events that will forever change their family.
