Arriving 1 December from editor Jacob Steven Mohr and Crystal Lake Publishing, Dead Letters: Episodes of Epistolary Horror
Evil lurks within the pages of Dead Letters: Episodes of Epistolary Horror … A video game walkthrough harbors sinister secrets. A grieving sister’s letters blur the line between alive and dead (and alive again). A chain of frightening emails are the only evidence that a young woman ever walked the earth. And a series of journals pursue a dwindling wagon train marching into Hell—or someplace worse. Haunting podcast transcripts. Blood-soaked police reports. Bewildering court findings. Brace yourself for an anthology that resurrects the chilling power of epistolary fiction—where ordinary documents transform into vessels of absolute terror.

As Estela dives deep into the recordings, emails, and letters from Eva’s investigation, in Coral’s retelling of the murders, she will be forced to face a simple question that could cost her life as well as her unborn baby’s: “Do you believe in magic?” Available for pre-order now in eBook, with a paperback edition to follow, you can guarantee your copy here.
