Beleth Station by Samantha Kolesnik and Bryan Smith shipping this week!
Beleth Station has seen better days, days long since lost to time.
A tiny dot on the map beyond a two-hour drive to any one city. It’s a forgotten place to all except the unfortunate souls who were born there, folks who are barely hanging on and will likely never leave.
Beleth Station was once a thriving town in the Pennsylvania mountains, but ever since the Medallion Paper Mill closed, things haven’t been the same. Rumors spread of cancer clusters and benzene in the local water supply, but Medallion went bankrupt before an investigation could conclude. Now the town’s inhabitants—descendents of the old mill workers, make do in industries that are less than savory, and what remains of the mill is just a vacant haunt where bored teenagers like to wander at night, either hoping to scare the piss out of their buddies, or looking for a quiet corner to get laid. Of course, it’s also home to a few vagrants, some looking to get blasted in peace and others with more predatory intentions.
Newly-in-love outsiders Krista Mabry and Nick Rawlison have seen better days, too, now that they’ve ended up in the seedy town of Beleth Station, where untold horrors await.
Authors Samantha Kolesnik and Bryan Smith present two unique tales of brutal terror in BELETH STATION, a novella duo featuring Kolesnik’s A Night to Remember and Smith’s The Gauntlet. Set in the same town and in a shared universe, Smith and Kolesnik present two sides of the same sordid coin as we follow lovebirds Nick and Krista into the heart of Beleth Station, where corruption and depravity reign.

BOOK TWO OF THE SAGA OF DEAD-EYE: WEREWOLVES, SWAMP CRITTERS, & HELLACIOUS HAINTS
by Ronald Kelly
Across the Bloody Mississippi…
Following the brutal murder of former Confederate officer, Joshua Wingade, the pursuit for the renegade vampire, Jules Holland, and his hellish followers continues across a war-torn South. The newly resurrected gunfighter, Dead-Eye, accompanied by Louisiana mojo man, Job, find themselves hot on the trail, eager to rescue an abducted child and put an end to the death and destruction the outlaws and the dark witch, Evangeline, have conjured with the aid of Necronomicon and the otherworldly Hole Out of Nowhere.
And into the West…
Upon setting foot on Missouri soil, Dead-Eye and Job’s travels take them into the peaks of the Ozark Mountains, across the Indian Territory, through the swamps of Louisiana, and onto the dusty plains of Texas. Beasts, bayou creatures, and ghostly apparitions hinder their progress along the way, as well as hellish bounty hunters recruited and brought forth from realms beyond the Hole.
Will Dead-Eye and Job – along with the demonic steed Brimstone and the silver-shoed mule Balaam – survive to continue their quest into the dark and savage heart of the western territories?

CYCLOPS ROAD
by Jeff Strand
Book 4 of Jeff Strand’s Gleefully Macabre Imprint.
Evan Portin is at a sad, scary place in his life. While taking a long walk to compose himself and figure out where to go from here, he encounters a young woman being mugged in a park.
When he tries to intervene, he discovers that she doesn’t need his help. At all.
Her name is Harriett. She is very, very good at defending herself. Everything she owns is in a large backpack. She’s never seen a cell phone. She’s never been in a car. She’s never really ventured into the outside world.
And she says she’s traveling across the country to slay a Cyclops.
She’s crazy, right? Evan is not in the habit of hanging out with delusional women he’s just met. On the other hand, it can’t hurt to offer her a ride out of town. And maybe this insane journey is exactly what he needs…

Emergency Room nurse, Lisa Morton, has a problem and she is about to lose her marriage, her child, and her job.

Signed by Tyler Jones, Jeremy Robert Johnson, Philip Fracassi, and cover artist Ryan Mills.
Praise for Criterium
“This is small-town Bradbury with a world-weary mean streak: even the magic here seems perfectly happy to break your bones and drag your face across asphalt.”
– Jeremy Robert Johnson, author of The Loop and Entropy in Bloom
“A truly excellent novella. The prose is perfect, the story beautifully balanced, and the atmosphere is so strong it feels like you could cut it with a knife. Haunting, uncanny and profound: the strongest and most compelling new voice that I’ve read in a very long time.”
– Michael Marshall Smith, author of Only Forward and The Straw Men
“Tyler Jones writes with the lyrical complexity and haunting tenderness of masters like Matheson and Straub while remaining entirely new and inventive. A true visionary of contemporary horror fiction.”
– Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
“This book spoke to me on an emotional and spiritual level. I was moved. Haunted. An arresting story from start to finish…such a powerful piece. I’m adding Zach Ayers to my list of fictional characters who live in my soul forever. His story is achingly beautiful.”
– Sadie Hartmann “Mother Horror”
“Jones’ prose in Criterium is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart. Once you turn that first page, you give over any control you once had, and this book will steamroll you into the ride of your life…you can almost feel the wind in your face and the heat on your flesh…he writes this story to within an inch of its life… there are moments of frenzied paranoia and then subtle and melancholic moments of sadness, grief and aloneness. It’s intoxicating.
– Ross Jeffery, Bram Stoker nominated author of Juniper and Tome
Praise for The Dark Side of the Room
“Genuinely unsettling and leaking of paranoid dread, The Dark Side of the Room is residential horror at its finest.”
– Max Booth III, author of We Need to Do Something
“What struck me the hardest was the delicate beauty of the telling. There’s a tight-wired fragility to the prose, to the story, that creates a sense of both awe and uncertainty. A grisly tale, an ever-so-slow twisting of a knife. A triumphant piece of fiction.”
– Philip Fracassi, author of Beneath a Pale Sky and Behold the Void
