Here’s a small selection of the horror and genre news that caught our eye during the last week …
New from authors Adam Lawson and Brian Christgau, illustrator Dall’o, and The Lab Press, Mad Dog Morgan
Mitchell “Mad Dog” Morgan dreamed of making it to the big arenas in wrestling, but he never crawled out of the indies. They were right about him when they called him “just another jabroni.” Deciding to drink his troubles away, he wanders into a crumbling house that’s more than it seems—a supernatural world of horror that feeds on the hopeless. As the house tries to break him, Morgan realizes all his failures had prepared him for this moment. He was born not to wrestle in the ring but to fight an ancient evil that preys on the lost. Bloodied, brutalized, and on the brink, this washed-up jabroni will rise up to become the main event. Available now in eBook and paperback, you can pick up your copy here.
