New Releases:
The Woodkin by Alexander James, out 8/22/2023
“The Woodkin by Alexander James is a brutal, nightmarish trip into the heart of darkness that grabs you by the throat on page one and refuses to let go. An unrelenting, unflinching story . . .” —Matthew Lyons, author of A Black and Endless Sky and The Night Will Find Us
“The serpentine trails that twist and twine throughout Alexander James’ towering debut all lead to one destination: absolute terror.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters
“With its sharp prose and terrifying premise, The Woodkin bites down hard from sentence one and doesn't let go. Alexander James might just be the American Adam Nevill.” —Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind
“Enter the stark and startling woods in Alexander James' haunting The Woodkin where whispers and shadows are more than you think. You're never really alone on the hiking trail. This is adventure horror done right!” —Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award nominated author of Children of Chicago
“[A] perfectly drawn psychological horror . . . that fans of the grotesque should relish.” —Library Journal

Library Journal reviewed The Darkness Surrounds Us by Gail Lukasik: “VERDICT: Lukasik blends all the elements needed for a dark suspense novel: a forbidding mansion, ghostly presences, secret passages, a hostile housekeeper, a temperamental employer, and residents unwilling to talk to outsiders. For fans of Rebecca, The Woman in White, and The Death of Mrs. Westaway.”
Kirkus Reviews reviewed Girl on Trial by Kathleen Fine: “Gripping, tragic, but ultimately hopeful.”
Kirkus Reviews reviewed New Eden by Ruth Fox: “A thoughtful, exhilarating, and shocking continuation.”
Publishers Weekly reviewed King Me by J. A. Crawford: “Crawford’s gleeful skewering of obsessive fandom and gift for action sequences make this twisty, frothy whodunit whiz by. Readers will impatiently await the next installment.”
Library Journal reviewed the audiobook for The Horoscope Writer by Ash Bishop: “With this unique mystery, Bishop offers a fun, if murderous way to explore fate, free will, divine intervention, and science.
Library Journal reviewed the audiobook for The Woodkin by Alexander James: “With plenty of nods to horror master Stephen King, this is an audio that fans of the grotesque should relish.”
