Poetry Collection: Tiny Oblivions and Mutual Self Destructions
by Maxwell I. Gold (release date August 22)
This collection weaves the anxious pall of cosmic dread with the bones of the bizarre and the strange. From indescribable dimensions to the bleakest parts of our worst nightmares taking the reader back to the thrones of the Cyber Gods; the reader is transported.
This follow up to Gold’s two-time Elgin-Award nominated prose poetry collection, Oblivion in Flux: A Collection of Cyber Prose, is composed of 50 prose poems that throw us into the mouth of dead stars, through old nameless cities, and down to the inward terrors we might dare to reveal to ourselves…

Graphic Novel: Red in Tooth and Claw by Steven Archer
(release date August 20)
This Kaiju-inspired illustrated work tells the epic story of the World Wolf, his limitless love for his mate and the boundless destruction that is caused when something comes between them. A primordial entity, the World Wolf is feared. Misunderstood. Underestimated. And now humanity has pissed him off. The scope of the doom unleashed is too much to comprehend.
Through this fine-art graphic novel Archer takes the next step in the evolution of visual dark fantasy storytelling. As experimental as it is confrontational Red in Tooth and Claw documents a wolf spirit’s journey from creative force to avatar of destruction.
Writer and artist Steven Archer, renowned for his illustrated adaption of Masque of the Red Death (Bram Stoker Award Finalist 2020), Luna Maris, and Red King, Black Rook, brings his unique combination of industrial music aesthetic and classical painting to the realm of sequential art in this visual rampage of a book.
Hardcopies of this title are very limited

Story Collection: A Place Between Waking & Forgetting by Eugen Bacon
(release date September 19)
A Place Between Waking and Forgetting is dark speculative fiction, an Afro-Irreal collection in which transformative stories of culture, diversity, climate change, unlimited futures, collisions of worlds, mythology, and more, inhabit. It cases black people stories in bold and evocative text, at times deeply flawed but potentially redeemable protagonists in rich hues of blackness and light. Something beautiful, something dark in lyrical language packed with affection, dread, anguish and hope. Featuring the World Fantasy Award finalist story “The Devil Don’t Come With Horns”, this collection of short stories is the latest offering by a genre-bending, multi-award winner. It includes a poetic introduction by award-winning writer and poet Linda D. Addison, the first African-American recipient of the world-renowned HWA Bram Stoker Award.

So, when Emily is sidelined by an unexpected, high-risk pregnancy, he buys it thinking it’ll be perfect for their growing family.
Immediately, Emily begins to hear voices and senses a child’s presence. Is the house haunted or is it stress getting to Emily? Her husband certainly thinks it’s all in her head. A traumatic delivery leaves Emily convinced something is terribly wrong. Miles must navigate his wife’s delicate state, and care for their newborn son, while returning to work. It’s a tenuous situation—then the baby disappears.
