Depraved Halloween
by Bryan Smith
JESSICA SLOAN RETURNS IN AN ALL-NEW INSTALLMENT IN THE DEPRAVED SERIES BY BRYAN SMITH.
It’s time to go back to the backwoods with Jessica Sloan. After lying low for years, a stirring of wanderlust compels the former professional assassin to hit the road. On the day before Halloween, she starts driving south with no particular destination in mind. Low on gas, she stops in Montclair, a small town deep in the heart of rural Alabama that conjures uncomfortable memories of Hopkins Bend, the depraved backwater burg where her life changed forever years ago.
At first Jessica chalks these feelings up to paranoia, but before long it becomes clear that all her worst fears are justified. The deranged denizens of Montclair are, if anything, even more sick and twisted than all her previous adversaries.
The dead will rise. Copious quantities of blood will be spilled. Minds and…things…will be altered. Because in Montclair, especially on Halloween, depravity is a way of life.
DEPRAVED HALLOWEEN functions as a direct “sequel in spirit” to the original book in the series. Though it isn’t a reboot that negates previous sequels, it is not necessary to have read those sequels to enjoy Jessica’s latest adventure.
ONLY 44 copies!

NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES
SYNOPSIS: Night of the Long Knives is the thrilling and horrifying new novel from the author of Heavy Oceans, Midas, and Burn the Plans (one of Esquire’s Best Horror Books of 2022).
After enduring a personal tragedy, Andy Ferris loses himself in making videos that explore the history behind local hauntings—videos that grab the attention of a wealthy eccentric with an obsession for collecting objects that belonged to famous killers. Hired by this man to locate a particular weapon, Ferris finds himself entangled in a mystery that spans history and drags him through a museum of death, a doomsday cult, an underground bunker, and brings him face to face with a serial killer as he unravels the truth behind an insidious conspiracy. Tyler Jones blends horror and true crime in a story about loss, redemption, and the hidden threads of the world that pull us ever closer toward an inevitable end.
Praise for NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES:
“A cosmic conspiracy thriller that terrifies like no other…effortlessly blends mind-bending paranoia with supernatural intrigue, grounding it all in a hearty gallop of grief.”
—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother
“An addictive, deeply compelling exploration of pain, loss, guilt, and the darkest corners of the human psyche. It never shies away from asking difficult questions, and has the courage to look its messy answers right in the eye. I loved it.”
—Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monesters and The Dissonance
“Tyler Jones goes bold…goes daring. A dangerous book…a story that does not wallow in the sentimentality of grief, but carves its own path, and where it ends, well, God help us all.”
—Ronald Malfi, author of Come With Me and Small Town Horror
“Tyler Jones masterfully intertwines apocalyptic cults, cursed objects, and demonic entities with the everyday human perils of grief, love, and rage. This is a powerful novel about tragic endings, the raw pain of renewal, and one man’s heartbreaking search for redemption in a world on the brink of chaos.”
—Philip Fracassi, author of Sarafina
“A powerful tale of grief and terror that proves that memories have the power to haunt us as strongly as any ghost. Wrapped in layers of supernatural suspense, this mesmerizing mystery further demonstrates why Tyler Jones is a writer to watch.”
—Ian Rogers, author of Family
“Night of the Long Knives draws you deep into its sticky web of grief, addiction, and true crime—and then the real terror begins. Tyler Jones weaves biblical violence and modern-day tragedy into a tale that rushes headlong up a ladder to the cosmic. Equal parts thoughtful and thrilling, this book tugs at the universe’s hidden threads, pulling things perhaps best left hidden out into the light.”
—Andy Marino, author of It Rides a Pale Horse

Creep Out
by Jeff Strand
Ezra went home for his father’s funeral. He left with an unwanted inheritance: a ventriloquist dummy named Virgil.
Virgil gave him the creeps, but so did all dummies, with their dead eyes and unnerving smiles. There was nothing actually evil about Virgil, right? Of course not.
Ezra drove back on a desolate, winding road. He had music to keep him occupied, as he attempted to ignore the unnerving dummy sitting beside him in the passenger seat.
He told himself that Virgil couldn’t move on his own, though the dummy’s head was somehow staring at him.
Poor Ezra was about to have a very bad accident. One that would leave him trapped where he might never be found. Trapped with Virgil, who was not a very nice dummy. Virgil, who was about to make this blood-soaked nightmare so much worse…

Kosa
by John Durgin
In a secluded mansion hidden away from the outside world, young Kosa lives under the strict and overpowering rule of her enigmatic mother. For Kosa, the rules set by Mother are the guiding principles of her life, shaping her beliefs and actions. She has been sheltered from the truth about the world beyond the confines of their home, conditioned to fear the darkness and malevolence that supposedly lurks outside.
However, as Kosa grows older, she begins to question the reality she has been presented with. Doubts eat away at her, fueled by a deep-rooted curiosity and a burgeoning sense of independence.
But Kosa possesses a mysterious and powerful ability that Mother desperately needs to sustain her own existence. Mother, a figure shrouded in shadows and secrets, will stop at nothing to ensure that Kosa’s power remains potent and under her control. The sinister grasp that Mother has on Kosa becomes increasingly suffocating as she tightens her grip, isolating Kosa further from the truth that exists beyond their home.
In this dark and captivating tale, Kosa’s journey unravels the intricacies of control, the strength of one’s convictions, and the true nature of the world beyond the shadows. The choices she makes will not only determine her fate but also influence the fate of those around her.
Limited to just 40 copies signed by John Durgin.
