Fever Dreams of a Parasite – Pedro Iniguez
Horror collection
Paying homage to Lovecraft, Ligotti, and Langan, these cosmic horror, weird fiction, and folk-inspired stories explore tales of outsiders, killers, and tormented souls as they struggle to survive the lurking terrors of a cold and cruel universe.
With symbolism and metaphor pulled from his Latino roots, Iniguez cuts deep into the political undercurrent to expose an America rarely presented in fiction.
Whether it’s the desperation of poverty, the fear of deportation or the countless daily slights endured by immigrants, these tales are about people who are usually overlooked.
This fresh perspective is often delivered with a twist that allows us to see the mundane with fresh eyes.

Rose of Jericho – Alex Grecian
Supernatural horror
Something wicked is going on in the village of Ascension. A mother wasting away from cancer is suddenly up and about. A boy trampled by a milk cart walks away from the accident. A hanged man can still speak, broken neck and all.
The dead are not dying.
When Rabbit and Sadie Grace accompany their friend Rose to Ascension to help take care of her ailing cousin, they immediately notice that their new house, Bethany Hall, is occupied by dozens of ghosts. And something is waiting for them in the attic.
The villagers of Ascension are unwelcoming and wary of their weird visitors. As the three women attempt to find out what’s happening in the town, they must be careful not to be found out. But a much larger – and more dangerous – force is galloping straight for them.
The Organization is Here to Support You – Charlene Elsby
Dystopian horror
Welcome to the Organization.
Employees of the organization contribute to its mission to apply non-traditional methods to the non-traditional problems of today.
To ensure that all employees have the same opportunity to thrive, the organization’s state-of-the-art live and work facility has all the comforts of home, plus technology that maximizes their opportunities for collaboration.
Without the organization, Clarissa Knowles would have nowhere else to go. That is, unless she can make it to Dick’s house, the professor she’s been talking to online.
Haunted by her failed relationship with Maurice (the existentialist), and the deaths of her parents, can Clarissa shake off the values of the organization, pack up her cat – and go?
Trog – Zachary Ashford
Creature horror
After Aisha is traumatized by a stalker, her parents decide to move to a property in the outback.
They say it’s in her best interests.
But they don’t know something dangerous is imprisoned in the subterranean caverns beneath the house.
Something that hungers for freedom. And blood.
When three masked thrill-killers assault the property, they open the wrong doors, and Trog emerges.
Only blood and chaos will be left in his wake, unless Aisha can fight off the intruders, save her family, and survive the night.
Vanishing Daughters – Cynthia Pelayo
Psychological horror
A haunted woman stalked by a serial killer confronts the horrors of fairy tales and the nightmares of real life.
It started the night journalist Briar Thorne’s mother died in their rambling old mansion on Chicago’s South Side.
The nightmares of a woman in white pleading to come home, music switched on in locked rooms, and the panicked fear of being swallowed by the dark. Bri has almost convinced herself that these stirrings of dread are simply manifestations of grief and not the beyond-world of ghostly impossibilities her mother believed in. And more tangible terrors still lurk outside the decaying Victorian greystone.
A serial killer has claimed the lives of fifty-one women in the Chicago area. When Bri starts researching the murders, she meets a stranger who tells her there’s more to her sleepless nights than bad dreams; they hold the key to putting ghosts to rest and stopping a killer. But the killer has caught on and is closing in, and if Bri doesn’t answer the call of the dead soon, she’ll be walking among them.

Janelle’s search through the unforgiving streets in search of her sister, leads her down a dark path into the bloody, beating heart of an American capitalist hellscape.
