NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD AND THE SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD!
Annihilation meets Manhunt in this gloriously queer psychedelic trip into the heart of an eldritch wood and the horrors of (cis)terhood.
They call it the King’s Breakfast. One bite and you can understand the full scope of the universe; one bite and you can commune with forgotten gods beyond human comprehension. And it only grows deep in the Pamogo forest, where the trees crowd so tight that the forest floor is pitch black day and night, where rumors of disappearing hikers and strange cults that worship the divine feminine abound.

The Ballad of Horse Girl – Bitter Karella
California, 1860. The corrupt judge and snake oil baron, Lazarus Dives, murdered her family; now the nameless drifter known only as the Horse Girl is out for revenge. But can a man who’s sold his soul to the devil for eternal life be killed? It’ll be no easy task; but with extra motivation in the form of a bounty on the judge by Death herself, the Horse Girl plans to collect—even if it costs her soul. A classic Western tale of retribution meets supernatural horror.
The Girl with Barnacles for Eyes – Lyndsey Croal

But this year, he’s brought something different: a captive girl with barnacles for eyes. Evie risks everything to free her, ignoring her Ma’s warnings to stay away from the freak of nature.

COMING SOON: MONOCEROS
Charlie has big problems — he works a tedious job with a boss always on his back, his overly concerned girlfriend who doesn’t understand him, and he lives in a society that hates fun and imagination. Worst of all, he’s randomly turned into a unicorn right in the middle of a very important therapy session and now he’s being pursued by both the government and a secret society of all the 12-year old girls in the world who want to possess him. But as bad as thing are, perhaps, just perhaps, being a unicorn might just be the solution that he never knew he was looking for.
