Horror Guide to Massachusetts is a map to geographical locations, real and fictional, utilized in horror tales set in New England. It is hard to say which is more disquieting, terror amidst staid Yankees in a familiar setting or horror in obscure, forgotten corners of the Commonwealth. Both have their uses as weapons in the battle to scare you out of your wits. ADVANCED PRAISE FOR Horror Guide to Massachusetts “This is a unique and ingenious way of highlighting Massachusetts towns referenced in horror books, stories, TV and movies. Want to know if your town or region is featured in a published novel or television show? Check out this reference book out by the Brothers Goudsward. With a quick description of settings and their context in each story, this no-frills reference is packed with hundreds of scenes from all aspects of the genre, with indices that allow the reader to zero-in on any locale. I’ve never heard of any other work that has so completely done this, nor have I heard of many of the works mentioned inside. Without this guide, I never would have. Highly recommend it.”  Daniel G. Keohane, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of Solomon’s Grave and Margaret's Ark “We need more eccentric guides like this from the Goudsward Brothers! Give them a turn at the steering wheel and you won't be disappointed. From horror flick locations to the horrific Dover Demon's stomping ground, join them on a creepy journey around the Bay State!” Loren Coleman, Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum, and author of Monsters of Massachusetts and 30 other books “Horror Guide to Massachusetts is intensely awesome, especially for an antique Lovecraftian such as myself. As edifying as it is entertaining, this wonderful book is not only a guide to those spectral spots, historical or mythical, in Massachusetts, but serves also as a guide to a multitude of horror films, weird fiction, &c. As one who has been haunted by these places of dark hoary history, this book inspires eerie dreams and fond enchanting memories.”  W. H. Pugmire, critically acclaimed prose poet and author “A well-crafted book full of marvelous details! It's an insightful compilation that's both accurate and entertaining. I'm thrilled to see two of my Massachusetts horror films included here.” Brinke Stevens, actress, director, producer, writer, legendary Scream Queen ”A ghoulishly delightful tour through the darkest haunted corners of Massachusetts. You'll learn a lot – and find some great new reads in the process! Don't miss it.” Nate Kenyon, award-winning author of Sparrow Rock, Diablo: The Order, and Day One

Horror Guide to Florida is a map to geographical locations, real and fictional, utilized in horror tales and films set in the Sunshine State. And just for good measure, they’ve included some true stories and events that should be horror stories, or lest the inspiration for future ones. Florida scares many people for many different reasons, be it the alligators and giant snakes in the Everglades, sharks with a taste for tourists, hurricanes with a taste for trailer parks, or giant mice wearing pants. But where else, outside your nightmares, can you find giant prehistoric penguins, exploding clergymen, mutant vampire were-turkeys, and the Bermuda Triangle all in the same geographic area? Come with the brothers Goudsward and explore the mysterious, the macabre, and the downright bizarre world hidden in the shadows of Florida.    “Tourists think of Florida as beaches, sun and fun. Few know that blood, guts and monsters prospered during the Grindhouse days of Florida film making. Horror Guide to Florida vividly captures the history of these films and credits a lot of my crazy friends that gave birth to independent film making. After making over a dozen films in Florida since the late 1950’s, I thought I knew film history. After reading Dave and Scott’s book, I feel like a novice. I highly recommend Horror Guide to Florida.”  -- William Grefe, Writer/Director/Producer    “A Florida gardener, his finger pricked by an aggressive hedge, once told me, “Down here, dammit, everything bites!” Here’s proof that he was right. He might also have added, everything spooks...and lingers.”  -- Jack Ketchum, author of The Girl Next Door and Off Season    “This book is mandatory reading for Florida horror aficionados; just as Somtow’s non-fiction books about Lovecraft make the Master’s stories doubly enjoyable, this fascinating geographical compendium makes Florida horror fiction even more compelling and entertaining. An absolute must-read for horror junkies!”  -- Edward Lee, author of Header, City Infernal, and Thee Bighead.    “They call it the Sunshine State, but the Goudswards know the truth. They’ve learned where the dark corners, deep swamps, and shadowed groves are. They’ve learned where monstrous things have crawled out of black waters to feed on human flesh, where toxic waste has bred ravenous, killer fish, where the dead walk through mangrove-covered islands. They’ve watched the movies, read the books, done the research, taken notes, and they’ve written it all down. God help us, they wrote it all down!” -- Pete Rawlik, author of Reanimators, The Weird Company, and Reanimatrix.   “I lived in Florida for a few years and know too well its unique brand of creepy. And Scott and Dave do their usual great job of cataloging it all. From the fictional to the mythical to the actual, they’ve gone deep to show that this state known for giving heat rash can also give you goosebumps.”  -- J.W. Ocker, author of the 2015 Edgar Award-winning Poe-Land.

Wicked Witches: An Anthology of the New England Horror Writers

Ghost stories, from local myths to full blown horror shows, have been spun around campfires since the dawn of man, passed from generation to generation for edification or simply to frighten and thrill. They lead us along dark side roads, into murky swamps and abandoned houses. Ghost stories bring us face-to-face with the farmer harboring secret graves behind his barn, the old man living next to the cemetery, or the frightened person staring back at you from the mirror. They haunt the listeners and readers and make them want to re-tell them again and again, so they would not be alone in their fear.The New England Horror Writers are proud to present their fifth anthology: Wicked Haunted.
