THINKING HORROR: a Journal of Horror Philosophy is a nonfiction journal devoted to modern and contemporary horror literature consisting of essays, editorials, and in-depth interviews. The journal will be focused on the contexts and concepts of horror fiction. Unlike other markets, it’s going to eschew the regular columns you’re used to—no news, no promotional fluff pieces, no reviews. Instead, this is going to be about horror itself, its philosophical mechanics, about how it interacts with us, and we with it. Each volume of the journal will focus on a single theme, the first of which is Horror in the Twenty-First Century featuring interviews with Nate Southard, Molly Tanzer, Simon Strantzas, Michael Kelly, Nathan Ballingrud, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia and essays by Kurt Fawver, Gary Fry, Helen Marshall, Jeremy R. Smith, Andrew P. Williams, and Michael Cisco.

Millwood was a good place to be when the dead rose. It was small, isolated, and easy to defend. The survivors there forged a community, weathered what came, and began to prosper. But then they ran out of food. Now, Millwood is sending five men to the neighboring town of Rundberg, a place ruled by three thousand living dead, to find enough food to save their community. Five against three thousand? They don't stand a chance. "Nate Southard writes with the no-nonsense intensity and the confident swagger of a bare-knuckle boxer." - Chris Golden, author of THE MYTH HUNTERS and WILDWOOD ROAD "Nate Southard's lean prose delivers enough action for three creature features." - Norman Partridge, author of DARK HARVEST "Nate Southard is one of the best new writers of his generation, and something new by him is always cause for celebration. I'm a big fan." - Brian Keene, author of THE RISING and GHOUL "Nate Southard's Scavengers has got everything fans of the zombie genre crave. Huge cannibalistic crowds of the undead. Violent, almost continuous action. Mounting paranoia and dread. And if he had stopped there it would probably have been enough to secure Scavengers a spot on the short list of great zombie fiction. But Southard's real gift is showing us the psychology of the regular guy - guys like you and me. Not since Richard Matheson have we had a writer so adept at dangling the average American guy on the end of a rope so we can watch him twitch and turn in the wind. Scavengers is great stuff!" - Joe McKinney, author of DEAD CITY and APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD PRINT IS DEAD is a new line of top-quality zombie novels brought to you by the critically acclaimed indie publisher, Creeping Hemlock Press. Each title is available in both paperback and e-book format. www.printisdead.com GEORGE A. ROMERO ON PRINT IS DEAD: "These guys know more about the undead than I do... and that's saying something, because I've been hanging out with zombies for as long as I can remember."

When the fish come out, you’d better believe there will be consequences.

Just Like Hell

In these four novellas, Nate Southard blurs the line between crime fiction and cosmic horror to create a unique and frightening style that is all his own. "He Stepped Through" – On an overcast day in Compton, a swath of violence hints at a greater, more ancient evil. Two crooked detectives, a young gangbanger, and a beat cop learn sometimes stepping through a door means it can’t be closed again. "Something Went Wrong" – A brokenhearted loner keeps finding body parts on his doorstep. A mysterious fixer thinks he may not be the right man for the job. Two friends find something strange when a drought reveals old secrets. Just another day in Texas. "Deeper Waters" – Surrounded by flood waters, redneck magician Charlie “Crawdad” Crawford seeks both revenge and redemption in a deserted diner. "Safe House" – A terrorist cell holes up in a remote cabin after a devastating attack on American soil. Something old and terrible waits in the woods, however, and it will destroy them one-by-one…if they don’t destroy each other first.

When the Dixie Mafia makes a move to introduce the meth trade to Sulfer, Charlie must use the powers afforded to him by both his occult knowledge and a twelve gauge shotgun to fight an enemy who might be something more than human.
