\"\"<\/a>Monique Asher’s newly released novel The Red Knot <\/em>is a gripping, atmospheric, and off-putting, perfect blend of occult mystery and small-town horror.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“A twisty ride set on an isolated island with a dark history of missing girls and a religious cult, The Red Knot<\/em> is a propulsive page turner that will leave you guessing until the explosive end!”
\n–Marie Still, author of My Darlings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Signed copies of The Red Knot<\/em> will be available online soon after the signing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Andrew Charles Lark and Donald Levin’s combo collection The Devil’s Quill<\/em> is a quartet of horror tales for the spookiest night of the year. Enter the twilight zone of Lark and Levin where techie-nerds, witches, animated corpses, overbearing mothers, lonely detectives, and Halloween serial killers come together to scratch your itch for uncanny horror tales. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“These stories probe the darkest corners of human nature, using horror tropes to explore alienation, vengeance, generational trauma, and the consequences of evil… The Devil\u2019s Quill<\/em> felt like listening to a gifted storyteller tell tales of horror over a bonfire. You will feel the chill run through your spine, and for fans of horror, relish each spellbinding tale.”
\n–The Book Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Signed Copies of The Devil’s Quill can be purchased online now in the Book Beat Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Josh Malerman tells the history of his passionate affair with horror films, music, and his soul-mate in Watching the Evil Dead<\/em>, a wild personal journey into a life of creativity and young creatives that has an important message with critical questions for us all to hear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“While Josh and his girlfriend Allison bond over the nonstop gore and action on the screen, the other couple, Rose and Kenickie, discover that their relationship may be coming to an end. Through a series of conversations, Malerman ponders, debates, overthinks, and ultimately figures out his talent, his calling, his fandom, his relationship and ultimately, his life.”
