Among the Living – Tim Lebbon
Supernatural horror
After five years apart, estranged friends Dean and Bethan meet when they are drawn to a network of caves on a remote Arctic island.
Bethan and her friends are environmental activists, determined to protect the land.
But Dean’s group exploits rare earth minerals deep in the caves, unleashing a horrific contagion that has remained frozen and undisturbed for millennia.
Fleeing the terrors emerging from the caves, Dean, Bethan, and their teams undertake a perilous journey on foot across an unpredictable and volatile landscape.
The ex-friends must learn to work together again if they’re to survive and stop the horror from spreading to the wider world.
The Holy Terrors – Simon R. Green
Supernatural horror
Welcome to Spooky Time, the hit TV ghost-hunting show where the horror is scripted … and the ratings are declining rapidly. What better way to up the stakes and boost the viewership than by locking a select group of Z-list celebrities up for the night in The Most Haunted Hall in England (TM) and live-streaming the ‘terrifying’ results?
Soon Alistair, a newly appointed Bishop, actress Diana, medium Leslie, comedian Toby and celebrity chef Indira are trapped inside Stonehaven town hall, along with June, the host and producer of the show. The group tries to settle in and put on a good show, but then strange things start happening in their hall of horrors.
What is it about this place and why is the TV crew outside not responding? Are they even on air?
Logical Alistair attempts to keep the group’s fears at bay and rationalize the odd events, but there are things that just can’t be explained.
You Glow in the Dark – Liliana Colanzi
Dystopian horror collection
Seven stories that unfold in a Latin America wrecked and poisoned by human greed, and yet casting an eerily bright spell over the wreckage.
Your Shadow Half Remains – Sunny Moraine
Post-apocalyptic horror
Riley has not seen a single human face in longer than she can reckon. No faces, no eyes. Not if you want to survive.
But when a new neighbor moves in down the road, Riley’s overwhelming need for human contact makes her throw caution to the wind. Somehow, in this world where other people can mean a gruesome, bloody death, Ellis makes her feel safe. As they grow closer, Riley’s grip on reality begins to slip and she can no longer fight her deepest desires.
All Riley wants to do is look.
