Our first offering is THESE BLACK WINGED ONES from the leading Lovecraftian author of our day Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire, and a special Introduction by renowned Lovecraftian author Peter Rawlik.

Wilum is the author of many Lovecraft inspired stories and books, most recently:  The Revenant of Rebecca Pascal and Encounters with Enoch Coffin.  Peter’s first novel REANIMATORS was published in 2013, the sequel The Weird Company was released in 2014

The setting for These Black Winged Ones is found in Section II of Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu,” which is entitled “The Tale of Inspector Legrasse.”

“All denied a part in the ritual murders, and averred that the killing had been done by Black Winged Ones which had come to them from their immemorial meeting-place in the haunted wood.”

Mr. Pugmire’s tale is that of a young woman who is taken to the aforementioned haunted wood by a mad poet, in order to pay homage to the formless white thing that inhabits the hidden lake.  The woman is anxious to dwell there, because she has never learned the art of dreaming, and legend tells that this lake creature inspires mortals to dream.

THIS IS A LIMITED ONE TIME PRINTING scheduled for an OCTOBER 31, 2014 Release

P. Lovecraft and inspired the writing of ‘The Hound.’  Pugmire has written for many anthologies, and his books include THE TANGLED MUSE, UNCOMMON PLACES, BOHEMIANS OF SESQUA VALLEY, and THE STRANGE DARK ONE. His story, The Hand of Bone, will soon be released as part of the DARK TALES FROM ELDER REGIONS: NEW YORK Urban Horror Anthology from Myth Ink Books. Click here to visit his website

LOVELY ISLAND by David Neilsen

THIS IS A LIMITED ONE TIME PRINTING scheduled for a NOVEMBER 2014 Release

The second of our horror chapbooks, LOVELY ISLAND, will be released in November comes from David Neilsen.

Synopsis:
Little Sally loves living with her Daddy on their Lovely Island. Life is simple, Daddy loves her, and as long as she’s a good girl and eats all her shellfish, THEY won’t come after her.

David Neilsen is a slightly unhinged individual who has written a number of mildly disturbing short stories as well as an upcoming YA supernatural adventure. Before lurking in the darker recesses of the New York metropolitan area, he spent ten years begging in Hollywood, culminating in a television pilot optioned to 20th Century FOX and the straight-to-DVD feature film, The Eliminator (go on and rent it, he dares you). A classically-trained actor, David can often be found roaming Westchester County and nearby environs working as a storyteller, specializing in the twisted and macabre. His one-man show, H.P. Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu, has sent audience members into madness throughout greater New England and he would dearly love to bring it to your neck of the woods and drive you utterly insane as well.

David’s story, “Leaking,” will be appearing in our forthcoming urban horror anthology, Dark Tales From Elder Regions: New York.  As we finalize Dark Tales, read the prequel to “Leaking,” that was just published by Fantasy Scroll Magazine, “The Contents of the Box with the Ribbon,”
