Dark Reservoir is an exploration of what remains after unimaginable loss. Through award-winning horror fiction, haunting poetry, and deeply personal nonfiction, Bram Stoker Award-winning authors Nzondi and Cindy O’Quinn guide readers through three emotional descents—Ghosts of Heartbreak, Blind Fury, and Mind Rot—where trauma, grief, survival, and the supernatural converge.
These are stories of ordinary people forced to endure extraordinary pain. Some are haunted by ghosts. Others by memory. All are confronted by the lingering question of what survives after tragedy.
Inspired by both imagination and lived experience, Dark Reservoir is not simply a horror collection. It is a meditation on resilience, the cost of survival, and the ghosts—literal and metaphorical—that refuse to let us go. Available today in eBook and paperback, you can pick up yours here.
In this darkly humorous love letter to the slasher film and the iconic doll, aging scream queen Barbra Jacobs desperately wants to break out of the box Hollywood has neatly packaged her in. Cast as the star of the Mirror horror franchise films twenty years ago, the role that shaped her career has also destroyed her dreams of being taken seriously as an actress. Now forty, and still seeking the approval of everyone around her, Barb makes her living signing old photos of herself and doing meet and greets at horror conventions.
When a producer calls her to ask about hosting The Monsters We Made, a hot new horror docuseries, she sees it as a step in the right direction. But when fans begin dying around her—and in ways that mimic the kills in her films—Barb is thrust back into a role she can’t seem to walk away from: the final girl.
Will she ever break out of the display-box life, or will Mirror Man end it all in Barbie’s Scream House? Available now in eBook, hardcover and audiobook editions, you can grab your copy here.
