Very excited to reveal the cover for this upcoming October book release, as well as some lovely very early reviews:
‘Hometown Haunts has something to spook everyone, from classic nail-biting, life-and-death struggles between good and evil such as Sarah Epstein’s ‘Stop Revive Survive’ to vengeful ghosts, as in Jared Thomas’s ‘Seek and Destroy’, in which a burial ground is disturbed, with deadly consequences. There’s body horror to make your skin crawl, as in Alison Evans’s ‘Angel Eyes’, and psychological thrillers where you’re not sure what’s real and what’s not, as in Margot McGovern’s piece ‘Euryhaline’. Hometown Haunts offers work from established and well-regarded authors, as well as the delight of discovering new voices such as Felix Wilkins, who gives readers visceral, pubescent body horror, and Marianna Shek, who offers a spiritual bargaining arrangement with escalating stakes that is as fun as it is spooky.’ – Books and Publishing
‘As a horror connoisseur i am THRILLED. This is a showcase of the creativity & unique perspective Aus writers have to offer a genre often defined by its cliches. I’m going to be raving about this for months to come and recommending it to everyone local and abroad. The stories in this collection are diverse, fascinating and SO GOOD!!’ – Pilgrim, bookseller
I am so excited about this project and can’t wait until it is out in the world in October 🙂
