Wake Up and Open Your Eyes (2025)
Clay McLeod Chapman
"A harrowing horror experience. Like watching through a window as the world explodes, realizing too late you should have sought shelter."
thumb
William (2024)
Mason Coile
"Mason Coile's William is twisted, timely, scarily intelligent, and menacing even before it reveals its greatest, darkest secrets."
thumb
The Thirteenth Child (2024)
Erin A Craig
"A stellar, eerily enchanting journey that feels like it was written with rosewater on black pages, The Thirteenth Child features dark, adoring gods, hungry spirits, palace intrigue, and much more."
