THE NIGHT BELONGS TO US by Jess Landry -https://getbook.at/TheNight  (on Kindle, paperback, hardcover, and Kindle Unlimited)



In her debut collection, Bram Stoker Award-winner Jess Landry blurs the line between genres, magnifying the darkness in the spaces in between, and confronting those relationships that are nearest and dearest to us in the most horrific ways.

A mother and her daughter escape Nazi Germany, boarding the Hindenburg under the promise of a new life. An abused musical protégé discovers that her rage fuels much more than her cello-playing abilities. A hardened police officer finds something unexpected in the rising flood waters of her evacuated hometown. A woman ventures out onto the sea, in hopes of finding a mysterious mist where the dead roam freely. A strange tar infests the home of a young girl, swallowing everything in its wake, including her mother. Two broken women form a tragic bond while searching for a missing person in the dead of winter.

Mothers. Daughters. Sisters. Friends. No one is safe.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Tension-filled and taut from the first sentence, The Night Belongs to Us is a horrifying, twisted take on motherhood, love, need, and desire."—Kaaron Warren

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Jess Landry's debut collection The Night Belongs to Us confirms her as one of horror's scariest authors of the short form. Covering both the cosmic and the quotidian, and featuring monsters, mothers, and the macabre, Landry sucks the very breath from your lungs with the intensity and beauty of her prose. Unmissable."—Lee Murray, four-time Bram Stoker Awards®-winning author of Grotesque: Monster Stories

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "I've been following Jess Landry's work since she first came onto the scene, and she's one of those impossibly gifted writers who started at the top and then just kept getting better. I can't imagine anyone reading The Night Belongs to Us and not believing she's one of the best new writers to emerge in the last few years."—Lisa Morton, six-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award®

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Jess Landry is without a doubt one of the very best horror authors out there. Her visionary tales are filled with heartbreak, chills, loss, and sometimes even redemption. Read The Night Belongs to Us and Other Stories as soon as you can. You need this book in your life."—Gwendolyn Kiste, three-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens and Reluctant Immortals

A storm is coming...
In 1993 New Mexico, Black Magic and High Tech find common ground in Medusa Engineering's Project Dragonfire―and for one endless October night, a fissure opens between here and Elsewhere...

"Take the premise of Stephen King's The Mist, fuse it with his short story "Trucks", and add a dash of his novel Dreamcatcher, and you get Kyle Toucher's Live Wire. Where Toucher excels and distinguishes himself is how he effortlessly creates characters that jump off the page, writes prose reminiscent of Ray Bradbury, and subverts our expectations with his sneaky infusion of cosmic horror. This is one unique, genre-bending tale that's not to be missed."—Nick Roberts, award-winning author of The Exorcist's House and Anathema

Live Wire, a horror thriller for science fiction fans, begins with four people sequestered in a desert filling station during a freak thunderstorm. Outside, one-hundred-foot electrical towers―miles and miles of them―uproot and stalk the desert. In tandem arrives The Signal, a dissonant machine language that subverts the human mind...harvesting old guilt, shame, and trauma.

Fifty miles down the road at the Very Large Array, the Medusa Engineering Corporation unleashes Project Dragonfire, a bold technological effort that has summoned a ravenous entity from the very fabric of creation—perhaps unwittingly, perhaps not.

Our ensemble includes Pale Brody and his son Caleb, en route to Austin to start a new life; Ken Lightfeather, an Apache trucker with a .44 on his hip; Kwik Gas proprietor Otis Thompson, who assumes the freak electrical storm has spawned the wandering giants; and fast-thinking Nikki Barlowe, who suspects a parallel, sinister operation―led by shadowy Medusa Engineering executive Armand Jenks―is in play.

High stakes and high octane fuel the incendiary action―mass murder and suicide, AC-130 Spectre gunships engaging the VLA in a brutal firefight, electrical towers pulverizing anything in their path, a massive gridwork of steel and feral energy blocking the only route of escape. Old ghosts and unresolved conflicts plague our characters as the signal interferes with their only task: surviving the onslaught.

The night wears on everyone as the electrical towers converge on the Kwik Gas, and only the end of the circuit reveals the nexus of their power. At dawn on Route 60, a final showdown pits human resolve against brute force and inner horror. Will an ancient, shadowless terror find dominion on Earth?

Live Wire is a tight, electrifying novel filled with action at a massive scale, terrors at the intimate level, and revelations of the Universal. If you like your fire hot, your blood red, and your metal mean, then this horror/science fiction hybrid is for you.

Out today from Crystal Lake Publishing and three Powerhouses of Horror: https://getbook.at/DarkTide7



LITTLE MUTILATIONS is anthology of body horror novellas that's perfect for fans of Cronenberg, Kathe Koja, Eric LaRocca, Hailey Piper, Gwendolyn Kiste, SP Miskowski, Gemma Files, Nadia Bulkin, Megan Abbott, Mona Awad, and Alissa Nutting. And of course dark social satire, flawed protagonists, and of course, horror books.

"These three gifted authors reveal terror in the most intimate places. Jess Landry finds it in the need for sanctuary and the bond between a mother and daughter. Sofia Ajram uncovers it in the thousand subtle betrayals of friendship and the dispassion of a clinical trial. Nadia Bulkin unearths it in our skin-deep need for validation and the fickle vagaries of a beauty pageant. More than anything, what these authors show is that the worst terrors don't lie outside us in the dark shadows, but much closer to home, in our own bodies."—Jasper Bark, STUCK ON YOU

A novel similar to suspenseful classics like The Haunting of Hill House, The Woman in Black, and Bag of Bones.

Reeling from the loss of a child, Maggie finds her job at the local daycare unbearable and errands around town impossible. She knows every child, every single parent, and they're all reminders of what she's lost. Unable to heal, she sinks further into the grip of grief and depression.

Jake is a good guy, a great husband, and wants only the best for his broken wife. Therapy and medications aren't helping, and a change of scenery makes perfect sense. A new home. A fresh start. He is nothing but patient, giving Maggie the space and emotional support needed to move on.

But once they've settled in, Maggie offers him an alternative. And though Jake doesn't believe in ghosts, he plays along with the charade in the name of helping his wife. Until he discovers it's not a game.

They are not alone.

As the subtle activity grows violent, Jakes realizes the thing in their house has chosen Maggie as a surrogate mother, and it does not want a father figure. Jake and Maggie's fresh start has become a battlefield, and he's no longer sure which side his wife is on.

Does Jake have the strength to save them both?

This ghost thriller is perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson, Jack Ketchum, T.E.D. Klein, and Bentley Little.
