Beauty & Dynamite by Alethea Kontis {Apex Publications}
Once upon a time, a young girl walked into a world of wonder and delight. But that's not where this story starts.
The young woman she became published a nationally recognized children's book and edited a star-filled collection of stories to benefit the tsunami relief effort. But that's not where this story ends.
Meet Alethea Kontis, a self-proclaimed Genre Chick whose life is an adventure that tears through these pages like a hurricane. Carrot-a-day cancer cures and Murphy as a guardian angel (yes, that Murphy, the guy with all those irritating laws) are just a part of the daily routine for the Incredible Whirlwind of Beauty and Dynamite, the force of nature masquerading in human form.
Through essays, poetry, and commentary from family, friends, and famous authors alike, a world of Blood Oaths and road trips, broken hearts and mended cars, comes alive with the strength of one woman's conviction that the world is there to be befriended.
You have now been introduced. Let your adventure begin.

Bedtime Stories for the Apocalypse by Joel Arnold {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Got your nightlight on?
A man journeys with a pregnant stranger, while unseen aliens deal out punishment from above.
A phone call in the middle of the night reminds someone of a chilling mission.
A priest’s skin oozes a healing elixir.
Are your blankets pulled up tight?
A self-absorbed husband monitors the end of his existence over the Internet.
A teenager digs through a deep crust of waste and bone to win his freedom.
A school field trip reveals a disturbing method for protecting our children.
Are all your doors locked?

“Joel Arnold is the real deal. He elicits a subtle element of terror and justice through his writing, delivered without a heavy hand. His exceptional imagery effects readers in a way that leaves them chilled and disturbed; causing the kind of behavior that will have friends asking "what's bothering you," for days afterwards.” D.L. Russell, editor of Strange, Weird & Wonderful Magazine.

Celeraine by David McGillveray {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Celeraine, published in trade paperback format by Sam's Dot Publishing, consists of three interplanetary science fiction stories by British author David McGillveray. Each story presents a specific problem that humanity might expect to encounter as it moves among the stars one day.
In "The Grieving," the Kellie colony has failed and the Whaskera are dead. Lammas must find out why, and why the woman he loved has been lost in space and time.
In "Celeraine," people get the governments they deserve, but the Somnambulist, a repository of Earth history, can give the Azou Home so much more. But if they don't want it, will Earth force it on them?
In "Ryme's Garden," an alien life form takes over the vegetation, and the birds have not returned. It's time to get out the half-track lawndogs. But is Ryme ready for the changes?
CELERAINE is an E-ride into three interplanetary worlds you won't forget.

The Complete Accursed Wives by Bruce Boston {Bruce Boston}
Trade paper, illustrated by Allen Koszowski, Talisman/Dark Regions, 2000, 100 pages, ISBN 1-888993-19-7
Five short stories and thirty-five poems, all of Boston’s Accursed Wives series. Includes the story “Curse of the Alien’s Wife,” winner of the Best of Soft SF Award, and two Asimov’s Readers’ Award winners for poetry.
“In an uncomplicated yet artful manner, Boston renders present-day marital travails anew through SF tropes....carefully cataloguing the extensive list of relationship crimes we are prone to commit against one another, making this a must-read for those of us endlessly intrigued by the male-female dynamic.” --Trent Walters, SFSite Read the complete review. (http://www.sfsite.com/10b/caw114.htm)
“Boston has the gift of making his poetry appealing to people who generally aren't fond of poetry...They have a distinctive music that is quite ravishing...He creates cadences more subtle than Poe's by using syllabic and blank verse with startlingly varied iambic pentameter. He creates his own stanza forms. He also manipulates rhyme in sly and original ways. Instead of creating predictable, boring end-rhyme patterns, he uses advanced techniques: slant, internal, and vowel rhyme...The poems read like colloquial speech, but are nimbly crafted to croon subliminal music.”--Mary Turzillo, Sci-Fi.com Read the complete review.

Dark Corners of the Mind by D.W. Jones {Blood Moon Rising Productions}
We all have things we don't tell anyone. Dark fantasies, dreams, and even nightmares that we are afraid to let into the light for fear of coming alive or true.
These things we keep buried in the deepest part of our being, not looking at them, even ignoring them like the dust bunnies under the bed or even behind the corner dresser.
These are the Dark Corners of the Mind.
From D.W. Jones, book reviewer for Blood Moon Rising Horror Magazine, comes this vision of horror in the form of six tales of terror. After years of reviewing books, now it's his turn to bring on the nightmare.

Dark Entities by David Dunwoody {Dark Regions Press}
Hidden in the dark corners of our reality are the passages to spaces beyond. Is it there that unfortunate souls come face to face with the horrors that move silently about us in everyday life. Take a breath, take a chance, and turn the page...
David Dunwoody, the author of EMPIRE, presents strange and chilling tales in which there is no escape to be found - only confrontation with the dark entities of the author's imagination. Giant ghouls in a graveyard, rebellious demons chained eternally in Hell, ravenous shape-shifters on a lost island, and the specter of Death himself are awaiting you within the confines of this book to collect your soul. Join us. Take a chance, but will you survive?!
Lavishly illustrated by Tom Moran. This is the very first book in the New Voices of Horror series. The Deluxe edition will include two new stories which will not appear in the other editions, and one additional illustration by Tom Moran. This is sure to be a collector's item!
"Within the pages of Dark Entities you'll find a mix of artistic sensibility, extreme characters and gruesome horror - crafted with both skill and apitutude. The sentance structure is lean; the vivid imagery portrayed is not unlike the darkest work from Hieronymus Bosch. Look out world, David Dunwoody has arrived." -- James Roy Daley, author of The Dead Parade
"Has the ability to resonate in your mind...a frightening experience." --Dr. Pus, "Library of The Living Dead" podcast

Darker Loves by James Dorr {Dark Regions Press}
Praise For James Dorr's Fiction & Poetry...
"James Dorr's work is for those who want to be whisked away from their day to day reality and taken to other places and eras... There's not an ordinary tale to be found. This is Dark Fantasy in the fullest sense of the term, not as a euphemism for horror." --Garret Peck, Cemetery Dance
"Contemporary spook yarns, historical fantasies of many lands and eras, oriental fables -- all these and more benefit from Dorr's skilled touch... Additionally, in a selection of poems, he reveals himself to be a fine versifier as well." --Paul Di Fillipo, Asimov's SF
"Pulp Fantasy, supernatural horror, magical realism, folklore retold and revitalized -- these are just some of the elements Dorr draws upon to create worlds and characters at once recognizable and strange. A hybrid of fantasy and storytelling, these 14 stories and 13 poems (reprints and originals) are equal parts of nightmare and dream unified by a persistent sense of awe... Dorr's fictions nod to literary traditions without playing slave to them, resulting in what I can only describe as modern myths universal in theme while intimate in approach." --William P. Simmons, Hellnotes

Ecotastrophe edited by J Alan Erwine {Sam's Dot Publishing}
ECOTASTROPHE is a collection of short stories and poetry that examines futures we could face if we continue to damage Earth’s ecology.
The oceans are dying and only desperate measures could save them in Jan Mortimer’s The Empty Ocean. Michelle Mellon’s Undiscovered Horizons questions whether we can truly find the answers out among the stars, or can we only hope to change the future by changing the past as Rebecca S.W. Bates postulates in Walking the River. Also featuring the works of JE Gurley, Bruce Boston, E. Catherine Tobler, Kristine Ong Muslim, and Adam Banks, among others, ECOTASTROPHE is a grim but illuminating view of several possible ecological futures for humanity.

Ennui: And Other States of Madness by David Niall Wilson{Dark Regions Press}
Ennui's touchstones with the past are sometimes overt--like the historical timeframes of the opening title story and its anchoring closer, "The Preacher's Marsh," as well as the other stops between--but more often it's as if the past has given the present a deep, lingering soul kiss. You don't have to get any farther than the title of "New Leather & Old Cognac" to gain a sense of musty old books and antiquarian gems, while the DNA of H.P. Lovecraft finds its way into "From My Reflection, Darkly," as well as "Darkness and the Light" and it's yearning cousin "The call of Farther Shores." And just try reading "When Words Collide" without thinking of Rod Serling giving it his tight-lipped smile of approval.

Fourteen Tales From a Shop Called Imagination by Ken Wiseman {Dark Regions Press}
Welcome to the Shop Called Imagination. Come on in. Take your time. Browse for a while.
There are lots of fantasies here. Fourteen in all. Any of a number are bound to please. We have horror, "The Finder-Keeper," which may just answer the age-old question of where lost things--socks, earrings, children--go when they disappear. We have humor, "The Xeroxorcist," about a copy machine possessed the devil and the repairman hired to perform the xeroxorcism.
Come. Have a look You're sure to find something pleasing. Something dark perhaps? Like the "Straw Goat," a little nature spirit made of twisted straw and malevolence. Or "Barelli's Demon," one man's hate and prejudice made flesh. Or "The Snowman," a murderous thing filled with dark vengeance. Maybe you'd prefer something to delight? "Grandma Babka..." with her good luck gingerbread houses. "Archie..." and his lures for nature spirits in Arcady, where lovemaking is a sport. "My Mother's Purse" with its contents of adult secrets to be kept from a child's eyes. Romance? Try "Brother Senechelle." Something unique? "Seasons of Ice, Fields of Winter." Something unexpected? "Moses." And for the conoisseur, you who have seen and read them all: "Brother Estevan" who will take you on a trip through a world in a painting so strange it has mystified critics and historians for hundreds of years.
So come on in. Take a break from life and its stresses. Escape reality for a time. The Shop Called Imagination will always be open to you; just a few page turns away.

The Garden of Ghosts by Scott Thomas {Dark Regions Press}
The Garden of Ghosts is a gathering of original Victorian ghost stories by Scott Thomas. Whether set in rural England or a summery New England village, or in snowy London or a haunted house in Boston, each ghostly tale harkens in some way to the mysterious realm of vegetation.
"Scott Thomas' stories have a delicate muscularity and a poignancy that lingers long after reading them. The Garden of Ghosts is a rare and beautiful collection. The tales within deserve to be doled out in increments and savored as one would a good cigar paired with a 20-year-old whiskey." -- Jeff VanderMeer, author of Shriek: An Afterward
"Thomas rises from the eerie evolution of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, F. Marion Crawford and H.P. Lovecraft." -- Jonathan Sisson, The Quoddy Tides

Little Creatures by Michael McCarty [with special guests]. {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Here's what William F. Nolan, who wrote Logan's Run, has to say about McCarty:
"McCarty yowls. The wild man inside is given full rein, and off he goes on a bizarre trip of the imagination, all stops out, no limits, hell-for-leather. Check out “Giant Cockroaches From Outer Space” or “The Pet Exorcist Files,” or “Stephen King And The Pit Bull From Hell.” Not to overlook “Scrooge 3000,” which is almost as long as Mike’s introduction for it!
"I defy you to keep a straight face upon encountering Mike’s seven-foot dancing cockroaches, frustrated vampires, demon-possessed house pets, gator-guys and killer kittens. Not to forget “Bunny Boy,” the ill-at-ease, pink-rabbit-suited superhero – who can hop over tall buildings in a single bound (his floppy ears help break the fall)."

Mama's Boy and Other Dark Tales by Fran Friel {Apex Publications}

"Mama's Boy"
The Bram Stoker Award-nominated novella "Mama's Boy" is the cornerstone of this 14-story collection from author Fran Friel and Apex Publications. A man whose mother's demented love for him has turned him from an innocent boy to a serial killer to a near-comatose mental patient opens his world to a psychologist determined to reach him as a way of dealing with her own mother's battle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. But is she helping, or is there more damage to be done?
In "Mashed," a son's simple request for potatoes with his birthday dinner opens up a world of past fears and childhood torments for his mother, while the flash fiction story "Close Shave" presents a horrifically funny solution to an everyday women's issue.
From mother and son to broader family ties, Friel explores the bonds of human connection into every dark turn. The humorous yet wickedly creepy "Under the Dryer" begins as a tale told by the family dog and ends in a bloodbath; "Special Prayers," perhaps the most disturbing offering in the collection, exposes a family secret of abuse and power; and the tragically soft and beautiful "Orange and Golden" explores the purest form of the human-animal bond as the sun sets on a natural disaster.

The Monster Within Idea by R. Thomas Riley {Apex Publications}
The monsters lurk in everyone: monsters of greed, of guilt, of the pleasure found in pain, of the pain found when pleasure dies. Carefully disguised, the monsters can sit down beside you or take up residence within you at the slightest twist of fate. Will you try to stop them? Will you want to?
This collection of 18 stories from R. Thomas Riley deftly explores the monsters born of the human mind. "Attrition" offers a future prison system that frees only those who repent sincerely—but what can an inmate do if he finds that sincerity is not really the key? "Twin Thieves" and "Tautology" throw a devilish spin on relationships gone wrong, while "The Lesser Evil" twists the abuses of race and power into a gritty, noirish nightmare of the choices a man must make to protect a lesser man and a greater good. In "Touching God," a young man's past catches up to him when worlds bleed into each other and the past crosses into present, bringing back the abuse he once escaped and the brother who wasn't so lucky.
Sacrifice, selfishness, and the worst of good intentions: all combine in The Monster Within Idea. From vampires and aliens to hit women and Wild Bill Hickock, Riley gives a subtle psychological turn to dark science fiction and horror. Let the monsters walk the paths of your mind. The idea is already within.

The Next Fix by Matt Wallace {Apex Publications}
If there is a party at the end of the universe, Matt Wallace's The Next Fix will be the drug of choice.
Two-time Parsec Award-winning author teams with Apex Publications for a new collection of 12 short stories and one novella.
With characters as gritty as Sam Spade but as real as your next-door neighbor, The Next Fix cooks up a cocktail of futuristic trips that range from haunting to comedic to don't-turn-out-the-lights.
From Wallace's introduction to The Next Fix: You’re in my own little chimerical sphere now, but I’m no different than you. I don’t shoot, snort, or roll, but I’m my own kind of fiend with my own kind of jones. You can simplify it, call it a fiction addiction. It’s much more than that. Part of it’s that whole “art is not a mirror, it’s a hammer” thing. It’s powerful.
Wallace's quest for the next great high of the imagination takes the reader through the cannibalistic noir of "The End of Flesh," the haunting beauty of endless seekers in "The Losting Corridor," and on an action packed ride-along with offworld postal workers in "Another Man's Run."
If you like a chaser of tech with your horror, humor with your darkness, and beauty with your grit, The Next Fix is your next high.

Other Gods by Stephen Mark Rainey {Dark Regions Press}
Praise For James Dorr's Fiction & Poetry...
Spanning a career of over twenty years, the 16 tales in Stephen Mark Rainey's Other Gods depict an alluring yet macabre world, rendered by one of the horror genre's most vivid imaginations. With settings ranging from the remote backwoods of Virginia to the urban wilderness of Chicago, the veneer of Rainey's world appears familiar, even comforting; yet, beneath its surface ancient, malignant powers lurk, ready to spring forth and destroy any who discover them whether intentionally or inadvertently. Laced with humor and recounted by a captivating voice, the tales in Other Gods wait for you with open arms but beware, for they are also laden with darkness. And in that darkness, danger waits.

Proverbs for Monsters by Michael A. Arnzen {Dark Regions Press}
Proverbs For Monsters is an omnibus of the best writing to date by one of the most offbeat and humorous writers working in the horror genre today, Michael A. Arnzen. Hand picked by the author, these are the stories, "flash fictions," and poems most cherished by readers, most enjoyed at live performances, most celebrated by editiors of year's best collections, and most recommended for literary awards from across his career.
In Proverbs For Monsters you'll get advice for growing your own man-eating plant. You'll ride the movies of Exorcystland -- the scariest amusement park ever created. You'll attend a bizarre grade school for assassins. You'll meet a dentist with a very disturbing collection of baby teeth. You'll encounter strange children -- from the boy who carries his heart in a metal case attached to his chest to the girl who is completely encased in the carapace of her own giant scab. You'll ride a diseased elephant and witness the death of the last vampire and learn more than ever wanted to know about a perpetual embalming machine. You'll wince and laugh and wince again.
Whether or not you have read Michael Arnzen before or are already a fan of his gleefully twisted imagination, you're in for a very dark treat with this generous collection of thirty stories and thirty poems, many of them impossible-to-find or never seen before. Proverbs For Monsters offers the most delightful and disturbing retrospective of this acclaimed author's career.

Pseudo-City by D. Harlan Wilson {Raw Dog Screaming Press}

By turns absurd and surreal, dark and challenging, Pseudo-City exposes what waits in the bathroom stall, under the manhole cover and in the corporate boardroom, all in a way that can only be described as mind-bogglingly irreal.

Raising Demons for Fun and Profit by Mark McLaughlin {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Okay, the title pretty much covers it. But here's what some critics have to say about Mark's work:

– Ellen Datlow, YEAR'S BEST FANTASY & HORROR
"Mark McLaughlin ... deftly mixes grisly horror with outlandish humor ... It is this bizarre voice that has earned McLaughlin an underground legion of hardcore, devoted fans."
– Brian Keene, Stoker Winner and author of THE RISING
"McLaughlin (is) well known for his witty charm and performative fiction readings ... he's known mostly for his short fiction, which has a tendency to combine Lovecraftian imagery with hilarious (and often perverse) comedy."

Scattered Ashes by Scott Nicholson {Dark Regions Press}
Scott Nicholson's short stories have drifted on the wind, across deserts and dead seas, and now have found a final resting place. In Scattered Ashes, the best of his award-winning work is presented together for the first time.

Gather around the campfire. The flames are intense and the ashes still warm...
"Scott Nicholson is a terrific writer. Like Stephen King, he has an eye and ear for the rhythms of rural America, and like King he knows how to summon serious scares. My advice? Buy everything he writes. This guy's the real deal!" -- Bentley Little, author of The Academy
"Scott Nicholson writes with a mixture of H.P. Lovecraft, Manly Wade Wellman, and Clive Barker, stirred with a liberal dose of his own originality, to tell an effective and atmospheric tale." -- Kevin J. Anderson, co-author of the Dune series
"Scott Nicholson is the kind of writer who always surprises and always entertains. His writing is crisp and fast-paced, his characters are real, and knows how to twist the knife." -- Jonathan Maberry, author of Ghost Road Blues

Get ready for the scariest journey of your life. Becaue it doesn't matter where you go--London, Hong Kong, Madrid, Japan, Jamaica--you'll find one thing waiting for you when you get there...shadows.

Come with Tony Richards as he wanders the globe in search of new ones. You see, anything can cast them. A raggedy old circus tent. The dim corridors of an old-age home. The incense-smelling depths of a traditional Chinese temple. You can even find them in a house just like your own. And if you dare to step into those shadows, you'll find something even more terrifying...
The fear of the unknown.

Unwelcome Bodies by Jennifer Pelland {Apex Publications}
Pain. Pleasure. The sensation of touch…we feel everything through our skin, that delicate membrane separating “I” from “other,” protecting the very essence of self. Until it breaks. Or changes. Or burns.

Wander through worlds where a woman craves even a poisonous touch…a man’s deformities become a society’s fashion…genetic regeneration keeps the fires of Hell away…and painted lovers risk everything to break the boundaries of their caste system down.
Separate your mind from your flesh and come in. Welcome…

Westermead: A Collection of Tales by Scott Thomas {Raw Dog Screaming Press}

The ways of old merge with the magical and fantastic in this wondrous world. Experience Westermead’s thaw and awakening season by season, the lush heat of summer's passion and the retreat into winter’s desolate embrace. Come celebrate and mourn with the people of Westermead as they make their way through a world steeped both in beauty and dread.
More than just a collection of tales, Westermead brings to life an enchanted country where the supernatural is as natural as the sunrise. Follow the intrepid documentarians, Purdy and Beech, on their hunt for the fearsome Frost Mare. Learn the secret of the stranger whose life little Melly saved in Four Bronze Sisters. Face The Mask of Black Tears alongside Mullein Wick while he fights for his sister's release from servitude.
This new mythology is ripe with unique characters, spiced with folkways and mixed throughout with a deep respect for all things natural. Given storytelling this vibrant, it is both easy and thrilling to get lost in Thomas’ unique landscape.
