New Tyler Jones Limited and Lettered up for preorder! A Call for Cover Artists! Shipping Update!
Longsight M40
by Tyler Jones
Sixteen-year-old Clay hopes his beat-up first car will provide escape—from his parents’ collapsing marriage, from the bleakness of his neighborhood, and from the confusion of first love. But on a misty November night, he and his friends sneak into the Fright Fair, a grimy, retro horror carnival packed with animatronic ghouls and flickering lights. In a forgotten maintenance tent, they discover an antique fortune-telling machine—an uncanny relic that should be broken, but speaks with chilling clarity. What begins as a joke quickly turns ominous as the machine reveals secrets and warnings that strike too close to home.
As tensions rise and emotions spiral, Clay is forced to confront his darkest impulses. Within four days, everything will change—and not everyone will make it out. This novella asks: What do we risk when we dare to see the future?
Also includes the novelette, Harvey’s Ticket and a brand new short story.

Quick life update. Hey, just a heads up, I have had an extremely difficult Spring this year. Not looking for sympathy, most of it is not directly related to Thunderstorm at all. However, the largest impact to my book life is that I struggled to get things done. And you may or may not be surprised to know that I have had small bouts of this throughout Thunderstorm’s 18 year history. But this felt different for me, mainly because it lasted so long. Things are looking much better and I am hoping for a strong second half of 2026. I still have a lot of catching up to do, but I am diligently working on getting everything back on track.
Daddy’s Boy by Michael David Wilson is now up for preorder!
“A delirious ride through mundane absurdity and surreal brutality, Daddy’s Boy perfectly captures the feeling of reconnecting with a loved one, only to find out they’re a filthy, out-of-control chaos gremlin.”—Jason Pargin, author of John Dies at the End
From the author of The Girl in the Video and House of Bad Memories comes a dark comedy of errors and toilet humour.
Wentworth is at his wit’s end. He has no money, his cat’s been kidnapped, and every time he tries to kill himself, he fails. Worst of all, he lives in Kidderminster.
But sometimes you’re given a lifeline. For some it’s a lottery win, for others a promotion. For Wentworth, it’s an out-of-shape 50-something named Norman wearing an ‘I was on Naked Attraction’ t-shirt and scuffed Reeboks.
Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates.
The two flee to Norman’s holiday home but there’s a local serial killer on the loose, something messed up is happening next door, and Norman is becoming uncomfortably clingy.
Can Wentworth evade the criminal mob, shake off Norman’s advances, and uncover his neighbour’s secrets before he falls victim to the approaching serial killer?
Daddy’s Boy is Shameless meets Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen with the incompetence of The Hangover.
“Dripping with wit and nastiness, Michael David Wilson’s Daddy’s Boy is a gem of a dark comedy thriller. As always, Wilson’s prose is fiery and provocative. This excellent novel took me by the throat on the first page and truly surprised me until the bitter end.”—Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
“Starts out as a fast-talking crime caper but soon takes a hard left into all-out WTFery. I never knew what was coming next. Daddy’s Boy is exciting, weird, violent, hilarious, harrowing, original, and a helluva lotta fun. Exactly my kind of jam.”
—Danger Slater, author of I Will Rot Without You
“Daddy’s Boy is a profanity-laced cocktail of blood, guts, and every other bodily secretion you can think of. If you’re squeamish or a prude, don’t pick it up. But if you’re in the mood for a wild, no-holds-barred, unpredictably violent family comedy, then this is the book for you. I loved every disgusting second of it.”—David Moody, author of Hater
“Delightfully deranged and bursting with pure British humor, Daddy’s Boy is an addicting sprint of twists and turns you’ll never see coming. Read it.”—Max Booth III, author of We Need to Do Something
“A madcap slice of slacker noir. Michael David Wilson’s the kind of magician who can make a switchblade dance across his fingertips, then a moment later it’s sticking out of your gut. A funny, wild tale you won’t want to miss!”—Brian Asman, author of Man, F*ck This House
“With humour so black no light can escape it and a plot with more twists than a tourniquet in an auto-asphyxiation, this novel knows where all the bodies are buried. Read it with caution, it might just make Daddy’s Boys of us all!”—Jasper Bark, author of Stuck On You

Karma
by Bridgett Nelson
Though she has long suspected, at age twenty-four, Kali discovers she is adopted. The search for her birth parents brings both joy and crippling heartache. Her newfound grandparents are lovely people, but she soon learns the tragic history of her biological mother…
Over two decades before, a young woman was raped and brutalized by four unknown men. She survived, but discovered she was pregnant. The young woman’s name was Jessica.
But she went by…Jinx.
Years later, while six-year-old Kali lived her best life across the country with her adoptive parents, Jinx was viciously and mysteriously murdered. There was no justice. A small-town sheriff with clout and connections made sure of that.
Kali adores her new family, but after hearing Jinx’s story, she knows she needs to make things right. And she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty – or bloody – for the mother she never knew.
People reap what they sow. And Karma knows no deadline.
From the two-time Splatterpunk Award-winning author of Red Inside, comes a novel of savage vengeance. Intense and heartbreaking, but with her trademark moments of wit, this novel elevates Bridgett Nelson to the next level of her already notable writing career.
