Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
Arriving 25 February from authors R. P. Howley and Daniel Willcocks, and Devil’s Rock Publishing, Deal
A shattered life. An unmarked invitation. A deal with deadly consequences.
Dane Creed’s life is in ruins. Once a rising star in corporate finance, he’s been chewed up, spat out, and left with nothing. No job, no means to pay his mother’s urgent medical bills, not even a shot at redemption. Until the letter arrives.
Hand-delivered, unmarked, promising him a second chance to reclaim it all. One night to prove his worth. One choice to change his fate. All he has to do is show up.
But the moment he returns to the towering skyscraper of McKinley & Shaw, he knows something is wrong. The lights hum too softly. The paintings come alive. And the executives offering this once in a lifetime deal might not be human. Dane soon realises this deal might not just cost him his life. It might just cost him his soul.

Coming 14 April from writer Kathleen Rhodes and Dead Sky Publishing, Vampire Missionaries
Two young Mormon missionaries, Gabriel and Luke, wake up in their apartment, dazed, blood-soaked—and sprouting fangs. Loyal to their devotion they attempt to carry on their mission, but they quickly learn their newfound thirst isn’t just metaphorical. Bound by blood to an ancient, manipulative vampire called Bishop, the boys are thrust into a spiritual crisis that threatens their faith, their morality, and the souls they vowed to save.
Each failed attempt to resist their monstrous urges pulls them deeper into a web of violence, seduction, and, at times, humorous, damnation. With Bishop’s influence spreading across the small Oregon town like a plague, Gabriel and Luke must confront the seductive power of their transformation and make a harrowing choice: serve their new master and become harbingers of death or defy him—and risk eternal suffering to reclaim their morality. Available for pre-order now in eBook and paperback, you can guarantee your copy here.
