OUR 2025 Lineup:
1. CASUAL - a novel by Koji A. Dae (February)
cover art by Cristina Bencina; interior art by Helen Whistberry
Valya’s neural implant is amazing.
Casual has managed her depression and anxiety, stabilized her mood, and helped her get pregnant, but new laws forbid her from using the device when she's sole caregiver for her infant, so Valya needs to detox before giving birth. The full-blown panic attacks have her considering a controversial clinical trial that would place a tandem implant in her unborn baby and allow Valya to keep hers active. Her only options are to attempt solo parenting without Casual, or install a minimally tested device in her vulnerable child.
CASUAL is a stark and cutting glance at a near future that looks uncannily like our present, exploring themes of bodily autonomy and the struggle for mental health in a world increasingly divided.
2. SPLIT SCREAM: Off the Map - two novelettes:
Sequoia Point by Íde Hennessy
Evergreen by John K. Peck & L. Mahler (March)
(cover art by Evangeline Gallagher & Alex Ebenstein; interior art by Echo Echo)
Two tales of nightmares on secluded streets, exploring grief and eco-horror in lonely locales.
In Sequoia Point, a grieving widow relocates to the Lost Coast region of California to rebuild her life, only to be swallowed up by a world of eccentrics, conspiracies, talismans, and strange doppelgangers.
In Evergreen, a woman returns to her family home to find a carnivorous tree growing within it, which feeds off of the emotions of her childhood memories and devours anything she commands it to.
3. PUPPET'S BANQUET - a novella by Valkyrie Loughcrewe (May)
Cover art by Donna A. Black; interior art by Delancey Throne
Married couple Celia and Martin are brutally attacked on their drive through the Irish countryside. The attack leaves Celia with a violent schism in her mind, seemingly existing in two places at once: one the “real” world, the other a howling maelstrom of abstract monstrosity.
Of her husband, there is no trace…until weeks later, when Martin is discovered in a hospital for rare and abnormal diseases, his body spliced together with that of an unknown woman.
And they are very pregnant.
Fans of Silent Hill, The Brood, Hellraiser, and Shutter Island will eat this up.
4. BRAVE NEW WEIRD: The Best New Weird Literature, Volume Three (June)
rough concept art; cover by Matt Blairstone coming soon
The Best New Weird Literature published in 2024 in the realms of indie and self-publishing! Final Table of Contents will be announced in the first quarter of ‘25, we’re currently reading through hundreds of submissions. As in previous years, this will be a celebration of the myriad strange roads that Weird fiction can and should take, from voices (perhaps) familiar and (definitely) new, and fitting proof that New Weird Lit is healthy and vibrant.
5. WE LIKE IT CHERRY - a novel by Jacy Morris (July)
full cover reveal coming soon, design by Alex Woodroe; interior illustrations by Blacky Shepherd
An Indigenous Eco-Horror tale in which a reality series host and his crew receive an invitation to document the rites and rituals of an unknown tribe in the inhospitable Arctic, only to find themselves in a bloody battle for survival against a mythical horror with a serious grudge against modern man. Grindhouse vibes and nearly-unbearable tension in this Weird survival novel.
6. REEF MIND - a novella by Hazel Zorn (September)
(cover art by Becca Snow; interior art by Echo Echo)
The earth’s coral reefs become sentient and invade the surface world, horrifically transforming anything they cross paths with. Beneath the grim, quick-paced body horror lurks a parable about delusion and how our self-images of nobility and heroism shatter in the wake of disaster.
7. CLAIRVIOLENCE: Tales of Tarot and Torment - a collection by Mo Moshaty (October)
(cover art by Bri Crozier; interior art by Mo Moshaty)
A mesmerizing collection of stories that traverse time and space, extracting terror, mania, the supernatural, and the dangers of the unknown from the cards in the tarot's major arcana.
8. DEAR STUPID PENPAL - a novella by Rascal Hartley (November)
(cover art by Carly A-F; interior art TBA)
An entirely epistolary Cosmic Sci-Horror novel in which Aku, an astronaut who absolutely hates space, his ship, and his crewmates, finds that as time unravels in hyperdrive, everyone else’s penpals back on earth have died off while his beloved closest friend, inexplicably, remains
