New Rebecca Rowland limited edition up for pre-order! (Shipping soon).
White Trash and Recycled Nightmares
by Rebecca Rowland
Shirley Jackson Award Finalist for Best Single Author Collection
A workaholic splits his time between home and hotel rooms until an anonymous cryptic message arrives, setting off a wrinkle in the time continuum and slowly shredding his sanity. Elsewhere, a woman’s jealousy over her spouse’s connection with their only child boils over, leading her to see monsters everywhere except the mirror. University fraternity brothers discover that a cruel prank has dire consequences but the full extent of their punishment is yet to come, while an intrepid hiker explores an abandoned Cold War facility hidden within a Massachusetts mountain only to realize that military secrets aren’t the only things buried within. From witches, wendigos, and werecats to sirens, sadists, and serial killers, Rebecca Rowland serves readers a twenty-tale meal of cosmic, creature, and quiet horror in platters heaping with unsettling trepidation. In Rowland’s long-awaited follow-up to The Horrors Hiding in Plain Sight, a lighted room provides no safe haven, and in the darkest corner of the basement waits a ravenous dread. The most sinister objects of fear are never truly discarded…just repurposed. Includes a foreword by Mary SanGiovanni.
This edition is signed by Rebecca Rowland, Mary SanGiovanni, and Chris Panatier.

Update and new Jeff Strand announcement!
Hello all,
Just a quick update. Currently Thunderstorm Books has several books at the printer, some have already been announced and some have not. So you are going to be seeing plenty of announcements over the next month or so as I wrap up 2025 titles.
New copies of Chad Lutzke’s JEX have now been delivered to me so I will be shipping copies out this week. I apologize for the delay with this particular book.
I estimate to begin shipping Philip Fracassi’s Four to Die For in about three weeks, with other titles to soon follow, including today’s announcement:
Your Body Will Never Be Found
by Jeff Strand
Limited to just 60 copies.
Cover art by Frank Walls
THIS BOOK IS DUE TO ARRIVE MID-NOVEMBER.
“If you’re here, you’re clearly lost. What you do next will determine if you stay that way.”
It’s hard to truly get lost in 2025, but Arden trusted his GPS in the deep, rural woods of Georgia, where satellite signals don’t reach. Now he, his wife Laurie, and their two children, traveling back home after a fun weekend away, have run out of gas next to a house displaying a very unwelcoming sign.
The porch light turns on. A large man with a shotgun emerges. As he walks slowly toward their car, the family has no idea how bad their night is about to become…

Like Death
by Tim Waggoner
There are no words for it. Ecstasy is laughably inadequate, as are rapture, euphoria, bliss … Ugly, harsh syllables that come nowhere near capturing the merest fraction of what he feels. The experience is primal and transcendent, like birth, like death. Scott Raymond lost his parents in a bloodbath when he was only nine years old, but despite the occasional headaches and hallucinations, he’s managed to turn that trauma into moderate success as a true-crime writer. The success doesn’t extend to keeping up the relationship with his estranged wife and son, however.
Hoping to regain a sense of normal family life, he follows them to Ash Creek, Ohio under the pretense of writing a new book about a missing six-year-old girl. There, he encounters a young woman who shares the missing girl’s name. She leads Scott into a world of psychotropic spiders, shark-toothed teenagers, and the expression of nearly every dark desire. Fear and fascination lay equal claim as the nightmare fantasies of this realm bleed into Scott’s daily life and his attempts to maintain a relationship with his son. Soon, he will need to use this world of cruelty and pain to face his past, his future, and what his life might have become. If he fails, it is only a matter of time before the nightmare that bloodied his childhood will reach out to ensnare his own son.

Like Death 2: Kill Them All
by Tim Waggoner
It’s not easy being the child of a notorious serial killer.
David Raymond’s father Scott – known as the Artiste for the grotesque way he posed his victims – disappeared from prison twenty years ago without a trace. Since that time, David has become a virtual recluse to avoid media attention. But when his mother falls ill, and he needs money to pay for her care, he grudgingly decides to accept an invitation to be the Guest of Honor at Killcon, a gathering of true-crime enthusiasts in Ash Creek, the town where Scott committed the last of his murders.
But the dark forces that once plagued his father have other plans for him.
David finds himself transported to a sinister realm called Undernight where he’s forced to participate in a life-or-death reality competition called Kill Them All. What he doesn’t know is his Undernight doppelganger has taken his place in the real world, and this David is as deadly a killer as Scott Raymond ever was, if not deadlier. While David struggles to survive nightmarish challenges based on his life, his doppelganger wreaks blood-soaked havoc at Killcon, leaving a trail of corpses in his wake.
A mysterious woman named Miranda – who may or may not be the same Miranda who
introduced David’s father to the depraved realm of Shadow – comes to David’s aid. But is her true intention to help him live long enough to win the game, or does she have other, darker motives of her own?
The two Davids eventually confront each other halfway between Earth and Undernight, and there they learn they’ve both been pawns in a much larger game, one that stretches back twenty years.
If they can’t stop it, two worlds will be destroyed. But even if they can, there’s no guarantee their victory won’t result in something infinitely worse.
Let the games within games begin…

TWO EARLY PHILIP FRACASSI NOVELS!
THE EGOTIST
Follow the hysterically dark memoirs of a brutish young man as he struggles with the confines of adulthood, women, and corporate America. A fast-paced, engrossing read that will leave the reader shaking their head in awe of the ultimate egomaniac.
DON’T LET THEM GET YOU DOWN
When Peter Radcliffe loses his wife, it will take more than pills and therapy to help him find his footing in a world where normality reigns and the desperate are left to fend for themselves; to reacclimate himself to a savage new reality…or perish trying.
A broken love story about desire, despair, and the lengths we’ll go to find our way back.
Both books have cover art by Mikio Murakami. Each edition bound in bonded leather, oversized 7×10 trim, with specialty endsheets. Limited to pre-orders through 9/2/25, each volume will be numbered and signed by Philip Fracassi.
