Under it all you’ll hear the quiet

Jan 24, 2025 12:37 am

Stand on the edge of that swamp, right where water and land become uncertain brothers, and that soupy air turns scum-sweet. Gaze back into those cypresses that seem old as bones. The distance goes gray and dim even when the sun shines. There’ll be cicadas shrieking and mosquitoes buzzing, but under it all you’ll hear the quiet.

—from Blood Cypress by Elizabeth Broadbent

-Stoker Prelim Ballot Announced-

The first round of the Bram Stoker Awards has been completed and the preliminary ballot has been announced. Books on the preliminary ballot have the chance to make it on to the final ballot but are not considered nominees. We want to congratulate three of our authors for making it on to the preliminary ballot: Brenda S. Tolian for Bestial Mouths, Tim McGregor for Eynhallow and Eden Royce for Hollow Tongue. Fingers crossed for getting onto the final ballot! You can see the whole ballot here.

-New for Preorder - BLOOD CYPRESS-

The seventh book in our novella series is now up for preorder! Blood Cypress has been getting a lot of advance praise. “Mesmerizing! Broadbent weaves a tale about the pain of growing up ‘different’ and the desperation of a failing family legacy. Much like the swamp at its center, this story is filled with southern heat, twists and turns, and insidious monsters waiting to swallow you whole.”

—Aimee Hardy, author Pocket Full of Teeth
