In the chapel of a forsaken fishing village on another world's shore, the seawashed bones of old gods hang from the rafters. 
When a new god drifts into the bay, the menfolk fear nothing as they reach for their spears; but capturing Her may be their last act of reckless bravado. Her very presence brings dissent and madness. Her voice threatens to tear the starving, angry community apart. 
Setting a siege of relentless horror against the backdrop of brine and blood, Lure blurs the line between natural disaster and self-destruction.

Two halves of a human cadaver awaken on a cold morgue slab. The two distinct personalities, Left and Right, remember nothing of their previous life as a singular body. Bound by necessity to carve out an existence on the fringes of society, the two brothers have very different ideas of the life they want. Their impending schism will lead each on his own frightening path; one forward to a new life, one backward to the origin of their struggle. 
One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve is a Weird and surreal Body Horror journey that redefines familial bonds and what it means to be an individual.

One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve

Literary

Earth is singing our requiem. You just haven't been listening. 
Corruption, injustice, rage and contagion have carved the remaining shreds of mankind's naïveté into cruel focus. 
Lurking on the periphery of our collective vision is a stark realization: our planet's tolerance for the human pest has reached a burning point. Earth is at the end of its rope. 
Turbulent times call for new voices. With that in mind, Green Inferno claws up from the gloom to stake its claim on the world of Horror. Nineteen unique voices from around the world have gathered to share their dark visions with you; tales of terror bound only by the constraints of our angry world. 
From cruel comedy to nihilistic dread; from ghastly dinner parties, to aquatic leviathans, to rural bloodbaths, and all macabre stops in between; Green Inferno lives up to its central conceit: 
The world celebrates your demise.

Green Inferno: The World Celebrates Your Demise

THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOTH\nTwenty-five women and non-binary creators from the worlds of Horror Fiction and Illustration coalesce into an unholy union and drag the blackened heart of Classic Gothic Horror into modern daylight. In the process, they have sculpted an altogether sleeker, more feral beast.\nIn the hands of Mary Shelley, Daphne Du Maurier and Shirley Jackson, Gothic Horror explored the bleak shadows of our homes; the darkest corners of the human mind; madness, personal transformation, the occult. IN SOMNIO recasts the legacy of the original Gothmothers in a chilling contemporary light.\nWithin the walls of an arcane modern art gallery; upon the shores of a hostile but compelling sea; into the blackest burrows of the animal kingdom; tableside at the world's last restaurant on the eve of the apocalypse; from the deep deep South to a Lovecraftian Steampunk theatre, a cornucopia of disturbing vignettes await you.\nFans of twisted takes on the classics such as Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters; Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor; moody, secretive novels like Night Film and A House at the Bottom of the Lake; and traditional Gothic Horror and ghost stories will all find something to chill their bones in IN SOMNIO.\nThis collection features eighteen vibrant, unique stories ranging from deeply intimate one-room settings to sprawling fantasy worlds; from the depths of darkness to comedy and adventure. Each story brings a new perspective to our inherent love of Gothic Horror and what those vital elements of terror still have to say today.\nEdited by Alex Woodroe.

SPLIT SCREAM has a new home at Tenebrous Press! Editor Alex Ebenstein brings his acclaimed split-novelette series back featuring: "So Quiet, So White" - Patrick BarbRoger Grimsby, a small-town curmudgeon known for his '80s horror paperback cover art, believes an ancient, bloodthirsty entity with ties to his family may have reemerged. But how does this connect to his wayward grandson, who prying police detectives and grieving parents blame for a recent knife attack massacre at a nearby summer camp? "So Quiet, So White" is cosmic folk horror that balances the act of creation through destructive forces, with the Grimsby family at the fulcrum. Prepare for bloodshed, and the beauty found within."Imago Expulsio (The Red Animal of Our Blood)" - J.A.W. McCarthyShauna's infatuation with the enigmatic painter she meets at art school escalates into unwavering devotion when she learns about the mercilessly brutal cat and mouse game that has consumed Elise's life. She vows to protect her, to keep her safe-but how far will she go to keep her promise? A self-portrait vomits viscera and the sinister secrets that lie at the heart of the decadently deranged "Imago Expulsio (The Red Animal of Our Blood)," where body parts and gore become fine art.
