In his essay “Supernatural Horror in Literature”, H.P. Lovecraft famously noted, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”. Dark Hall Press is proud to present our Cosmic Horror Anthology, 10 tales of nameless terror from some of the most exciting voices in the field. From stories of subtle, invasive menace to tales of full-fledged cyclopean horrors; from alien worlds to the yawning holes in perception where strange forces lurk; where nature takes on a terrifying sentience and one is not safe even in dreams.

Negli stessi anni in cui Virginia Woolf esortava le studentesse di Cambridge a procurarsi indipendenza economica e una stanza tutta per sé con lo scopo di scrivere e fare della scrittura un mestiere, le donne del Nuovo Pensiero pubblicavano saggi e fondavano riviste.

After the stunning historical novels The Clearing and The Missing, Tim Gautreaux now ranges freely through contemporary life with 12 new stories and eight from previous collections. Most are set in his beloved Louisiana, many hard by or on the Mississippi River, others in North Carolina, and even in midwinter Minnesota. But generally it's heat, humidity, and bugs that beset his people as they wrestle with affairs of the heart, matters of faith, and the pros and cons of tight-knit communities.

When the “grownup virus” hits, kids who live in the same apartment building must cope with strange new rules and extended time at home with parents and siblings.

New Suns 2 brings you fresh visions of the strange, the unexpected, the shocking-breakthrough stories, stories shining with emerging truths, stories that pierce stale preconceptions with their beauty and bravery.

Mujeres que reclaman su derecho a trabajar en un mundo de hombres, valientes guerreras indias, forajidas del Oeste americano, inmigrantes sin pelos en la lengua, heroínas atrapadas en tenebrosos bosques… Estas son algunas de las protagonistas de La nueva mujer: relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX. Las autoras elegidas por Gloria Fortún para esta antología —mujeres de vanguardia que desafiaron con la pluma y el papel las convenciones sociales— son el símbolo de los anhelos y luchas de una época que asistió al surgimiento del empoderamiento femenino.

Twenty terrifying and gruesome stories about ghosts, monsters, maniacs, and so much more!

Eddie Carroll is sick to death of editing the collection America's Best New Horror, sick of reading through second-rate stories in order to find the few "best new".

New Worlds features several short stories; "The Mother in the Lake" (a Lovecraft-inspired tale told by a teenage girl about her family and their lake house), "Roots Grown Deep" (a dark fantasy story about a tree deep in the woods that hungers for far more than water and sun); and more.

Bordertown: a city on the Border between the human world and the elfin realm. A place where neither magic nor technology can be counted on, where elf and human kids run away to find themselves.

This genre-spanning anthology explores the many ways that we grow, adapt, and survive in the face of our ever-changing global realities. These evocative, often prescient, stories showcase new and emerging writers from across Africa to investigate many of the pressing issues of our time: climate change, pandemics, social upheaval, surveillance, and more. In Disruption, authors from across Africa use their stories to explore the concept of change - environmental, political, and physical - and the power or impotence of the human race to innovate our way through it.

After his almost fatal experience on the exoplanet Erid-34, Dr. Neil Jackson wakes up out of a 10-year coma and finds himself in a strange room on Earth. He has very little memory of what happened to him on Erid-34, but he desperately wants to remember. The doctor overseeing his condition, Dr. Sigmund Kline, tries to help him fill in those blanks in his memory. But when NASA officials demand a conference with Neil at NASA Headquarters in Washington D.C., things take a turn for the worse.

Joyce Carol Oates assembles an outstanding cast of authors—including Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, and Megan Abbott—to explore, subvert, and reinvent one of the most vital subgenres of horror.

Dr. Neil Jackson had just gotten through discovering that he's been on the exoplanet Erid-34 the entire time as part of an earthling zoo exhibit. His girlfriend, Cindy Burnett, is still alive, but she has been brainwashed into following the orders of the evil alien Dr. Sigmund Kline. Now Sigmund wants to erase Neil's memory, too, and reprogram him to help the people of Erid-34 destroy everyone on Earth, so they can take over the planet. But the power of the love Neil shares with Cindy helps restore his memory as well as hers.

Since 1944, when she published her first story, Elizabeth Spencer has been acclaimed as a writer of short fiction in the great tradition of Welty, Chopin, and Mansfield. The Southern Woman: New and Selected Fiction, her first collection in almost fifteen years, again makes available the author's most masterful stories and novellas, including "The Light in the Piazza" and publishes more than ten new stories for the first time.

Although she is most famous for her bestselling fiction, Erica Jong started her publishing career as a poet and has an international reputation for her verse. Becoming Light includes early poems previously uncollected in book form, selections from her previous books and many new poems. Erica Jong's poetry exhibits her rare gifts for inventiveness, wit, vigor, honesty and accessibility.

Welcome to Snowy Peaks. A town of 920 citizens, proud of its high elevation and wooded locale nestled in western Maryland, five miles off the Potomac River's origin point. As far as anyone can tell, no outsider cared about Snowy Peaks - until Pete Zendel bought it through an online auction from prison. He seized the opportunity during an annual honorary auction held as a tradition in memory of the town's founding fathers, a symbolic gesture never meant to be taken seriously.
