Hi my first YA supernatural thriller came out yesterday. Dark Wood Dark Water is available from Amazon, the publisher poolbeg.com and all bookshops in Ireland.
Thank you!
Thomas Joyce
Hi,
I hope you don’t mind me making a couple of recommendations of books that I’m looking forward to reading from some wonderful female horror authors. Keep up the great work!
The Writhing Skies by Betty Rocksteady Sept 25th 2018
Twin Lakes: The Autumn Fires by Michelle Garza & Melissa Lason Sept 30th 2018
Sleeping With the Monster by Anya Martin Fall 2018 (sorry, no specific date yet)
Stranded by Renee Miller Oct 16th 2018
Creatures of Want and Ruin by Molly Tanzer Nov 13th 2018
Lilyn G
Thank you! Most of those we hadn’t heard of, so we will definitely add them! Creatures of Want and Ruin wasn’t filed under horror though where we looked?
Thomas Joyce
Ah, sorry. I suppose it’s more historical fantasy. It’s the second in a series, I think, and I read the first (Creatures of Will & Temper) which was a retelling of the Dorian Gray story and had some horror in it. But it is probably a bit of a stretch! And I haven’t read Want & Ruin yet, but looking closer at the synopsis I don’t know if there’s any horror at all! My bad.
Apologies.
BP Gregory
Hi everyone, loving this list (it’s bulked out my TBR pile nicely).
May I please add my new release Flora & Jim? It’s due October 14 2018.
Thankyou,

In two short years The scream queens have become the QUEENS WHO MAKE YOU SCREAM. Hey Amy Cross, Willow Rose, Danielle Vega, Stephanie Perkins, Kara Thomas, & Sarah Pinborough!! Raise a glass Gentlemen, the ladies have arrived!!
Dina Leacock
Hi, My book was released in May and I was wondering if I could announce it as no one really knows it exists. Also I am the the co-owner of a new press, Jersey Pines Ink and Editor of Crypt Gnats and we are still open to submissions for another week but we’d still quietly look at submissions that arrived until the end of the month. It is a horror antho and the guidelines are at https://www.jerseypinesink.com.

Thank you! 🙂

I don’t have an exact date, but my poetry collection, As The Seas Turn Red, will be out in the next month or so. Disclaimer: it is ocean themed, and isn’t all horror, but it’s dark and many pieces would probably qualify as horror poetry.
C.S. O'Cinneide
Very delighted to have Petra’s Ghost on your awesome list!
Jennifer Loring
