SYNOPSIS

Eldritch horrors beset Meridian's white trash, who must survive the sublime. A mere utterance from beyond unravels reality and infects the flesh, turning them into shrieking travesties. Told through mad tales, they explore terror and the failings of the human heart.

Say hello to Nightmare Press author J.P. Willie!!!

J.P. is the author of the upcoming transgressive horror novella, HOT SUMMER SAVIOR, from Nightmare Press!!!

A little about J.P.:

J.P. Willie is a Louisiana-born horror author and filmmaker, and a retired U.S. Army soldier. He graduated from Tara High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and enlisted in the United States Army on October 20, 2000.

During his military career, he was stationed at Fort Bragg (North Carolina), Caserma Ederle (Italy), Mannheim (Germany), Fort Benning (Georgia), Schofield Barracks (Hawaii), Fort Polk (Louisiana), and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (Alaska). He completed two combat tours in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division and the 173rd Airborne Brigade, retiring honorably after twenty-one years of service in 2021.

Willie began his writing career in March 2008. His debut novel, BLOOD IN THE WOODS, published by HellBound Books Publishing on December 18, 2017, was inspired by true events from his childhood and has terrified readers worldwide. His short story, “Welcome Home Rougarou,” reached #5 in Amazon’s Short Reads category.

His directorial debut, CRYBABY BRIDGE: A LOUISIANA URBAN LEGEND, won Best Short Film at the Horror in the Heat Film Festival and placed third at the Lake Charles Film Festival. Produced on a zero budget with first-time cast and crew, the film was later selected for The Louisiana Film Channel, a streaming service dedicated to Louisiana-based film and television.

For his second film, WELCOME HOME ROUGAROU, Willie served as writer, director, and editor. Shot along the Blind River in Lake Maurepas, Louisiana, the film is available to watch on YouTube.

J.P. Willie writes horror, psychological thrillers, supernatural fiction, and dark fiction. His first novella, HOT SUMMER SAVIOR, will release soon from Nightmare Press.

"This is a rather quirky original collection of odd bizarre tales with an underlying depth of human emotion from heartbreak to loneliness mixed with murder, revenge, and perhaps a tiny amount of redemption. The author in some regards can be viewed as a minimalist who has the extraordinary ability to say a lot with just a few words, some stories for instance are only a paragraph or two long but unnervingly spooky nonetheless!" - Mark Pickvet, author of ALADDIN'S CURSE.

SYNOPSIS

Welcome to Murky Shadows, a deliciously dark world where ghosts, ghouls, monsters and all-too-horrifying realities collide, and vampires, ghosts and things that go bump in the night rule. From a vengeful fairy, to a bloodthirsty roommate, to the ghosts of a serial killer plotting their revenge, no supernatural stone is left unturned in this captivating collection of spooky tales.

Murky Shadows, by Belinda Brady, is a treasure of short stories that will take you to places you never dreamed possible, and introduce you to characters you would only meet in your worst nightmares. So sit back, relax, perhaps put a light on, and delve into this chilling mixed bag of dark stories, one that not only brings the supernatural to life, but also taps into the darkest corners of the human psyche.

Which story will be your favourite?

"The author whips up an engaging tale with a little evil and sweet revenge mixed together for good measure too." - Mark Pickvet, author of ALADDIN'S CURSE

"This book is for those who appreciate a well-crafted visceral and vivid tale of terror." - Amazon Reviewer.

SYNOPSIS

Set in London in the summer of 1969, THE HURDY GURDY MANfollows Kath Dunn, who has left her home near the seaside town Berwick on Tweed, and finds herself homeless on the streets of Piccadilly. Here she encounters the eccentric Gordon Urquhart-Scott, who persuades Kath to accompany him to his large crumbling home on the edge of Hampstead Heath, where he claims to run a hostel for homeless women.

Kath finds herself inducted as one of twelve formerly homeless women who reside free of charge in the house in exchange for obeying the Hurdy Gurdy Man’s strange rules, including nightly musical performances on the hand cranked hurdy-gurdy from which his nickname derives.

Kath befriends Ruth. Together they secretly unravel terrible truths linked to the British Class system, the establishment, and the gruesome Scottish borders legends of the Redcaps. After witnessing how deep the horror within the decaying home truly runs, the two women decide to confront the evil at its source. Enlisting the help of other women, they engineer a terrifying conflict they hope will send the evil back to whatever foul region of darkness from whence it came.

SYNOPSIS

Adam always keeps his powers in check. As the world's only superhero, he must know his limits. Defeat the master criminal, repel an army, stop a natural disaster, but never let himself go too far.

Until Syangnom.

The world has grown accustomed to the feats of its only superhuman. Adam's wife, Sara, a celebrated journalist and periodic hostage, regularly reports his exploits, and the agents of Extra-Judicial Affairs handle all the legal issues.

But when Adam becomes enraged in the reclusive regime of Syangnom, he leaves 14 million people dead and the world recoiling from the destruction he has wrought.

Now Adam's wife Sara and EJA Agent Pia Mercado must track down the conspiracy behind Adam's breakdown and discover the otherworldly source of his powers. Their search will bring them face to face with supervillains, eldritch gods, and the mysterious figure who defends Chicago from the shadows, the armored hero known only as No One.

SOME FEARS DO NOT DISAPPEAR

Nightmare Press is the Frightening Floyds’ horror imprint. Our mission is to bring fans of dark fiction a variety of no-holds-barred horror. We want to bring to you the kind of nightmares that you don’t wake up from, that stay embedded in your brain even when you reopen your eyes. No limits, no quarter - bring us your fears and we’ll spread them to our readers.

If you are a horror author and are interested in submitting to us, send a query in the body of the email, then attach a brief synopsis telling us the beginning, middle, and end of your book, and a sample page from anywhere in the book (like in the old days when books used to have that one page at the front of a book) to [email protected]. In the subject line, include the book title and your name. We will respond to every submission, but you must give us some time. If we are interested, we’ll ask for the first three chapters of your manuscript. If we like what we read, we’ll ask for the entire manuscript. Send everything as word doc.

For an idea of what kind of horror Nightmare Press is into, think of authors such as Clive Barker, Richard Laymon, James Herbert, Poppy Z. Brite, Anne Rice, Ramsey Campbell, Robert McCammon, Jack Ketchum, and Gary Braunbeck, just to name a few. We are open to all styles, so don’t be afraid--or, maybe you should be.

Welcome to the Nightmare.
