-2026 Publishing Schedule-

We've made our final book deal announcement for 2026. We signed the Abandoned: Asylum anthology edited by Bram Stoker Award-winner James Chambers. Authors and poets have been tapped to explore the abandoned grounds of St. Johnland Hospital to unearth its demons and devils, its forgotten experiments, its ghosts and spirits, and the secrets that reside in this place that bends time and memory beyond the everyday world. Stay tuned for Kickstarter details so you can be part team bringing this creepy project to life!

We have a slate of fantastic releases set for 2026. You can see the complete schedule here. We made the hard decision to reduce the number of books for this year but each one is a gem we hope you'll want to check out.

First Book of the Year Released

Usurper by D. Harlan Wilson was released last week, Lit Reactor included it in their January & February release roundup saying, "Wilson has a penchant for heady ingredients, and this novel—the sequel to Wilson’s earlier Outré—rarely goes where you’d expect."
