"There, in the charred lump of his unburned heart, in its impossibility, my story lies. If you will know it, you must know it with the unsayable left in; the excess, like his heart, abides."
—His Unburned Heart by David Sandner
His Unburned Heart Preorder
His Unburned Heart tells the story of what happened after Mary Shelley’s husband, Romantic poet Percy Shelley, was cremated in a funeral pyre on an Italian beach in 1822. According to historical record, his heart wouldn’t burn. Mary Shelley was disallowed from the funeral pyre for fear of contagion, and the heart ends up in the hands of Leigh Hunt, their publisher. If you want to find out what she has to do to get it back, you’ll have to give the story a read.

Cover Reveal: Beyond the Bounds of Infinity
Step over the line and cross the border into a realm of impossible horrors. Created by Lynne Hansen, the cover evokes the integral strangeness of cosmic horror and weird fiction—making use of traditional Lovecraftian imagery and abstract construction while also drawing inspiration from the stories within—in a tangled blast of contrasting colors that just work together.

Book Deal: FEVER DREAMS OF A PARASITE
We're excited to have signed a collection from Pedro Iniguez which weaves haunting tales that traverse worlds both familiar and alien—Fever Dreams of a Parasite. Paying homage to Lovecraft, Ligotti, and Langan, these cosmic horror, weird fiction, and folk-inspired stories explore tales of outsiders, killers, and tormented souls as they struggle to survive the lurking terrors of a cold and cruel universe. With symbolism and metaphor pulled from Pedro’s Latino roots, he cuts deep into the political undercurrent haunting an America rarely presented in fiction. Read the full announcement here.
