ALL COVERAGE
Caitlin Starling is the bestselling author of The Death of Jane Lawrence, Last To Leave the Room, and the Bram Stoker–nominated The Luminous Dead. Her upcoming novels The Starving Saints and The Graceview Patient epitomize her love of genre-hopping horror, like her other works spanning besieged castles, alien caves, and haunted hospitals. Here, Starling discusses her latest book, medieval horror, and complicated women protagonists.

Ten Sleep
A coming-of-age, visceral Weird Western marked by palpable terror and populated by uncanny creatures, in the vein of The Gunslinger by Stephen King, Little Heaven by Nick Cutter, and Sundown in San Ojuela by M.M. Olivas.
A brilliantly constructed and thoroughly unnerving fever dream that Starling’s fans will gulp down. It will also appeal to readers nestled in the space where Brom’s Slewfoot, Agustina Bazterrica’s The Unworthy, and Nick Cutter’s The Queen overlap.

Overgrowth
Grant (“Newsflesh” series) presents another engaging, existentially terrifying, and thought-provoking SF-tinged horror novel. An easy hand-sell for fans of Chuck Wendig’s Wanderers and the novels of Jeff VanderMeer.
Wagner’s (The Deer Kings) latest features a compelling true-crime–meets–“sporror” frame and reads like Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild meets T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead, with a pinch of M.R. Carey’s The Girl with All the Gifts.
Durbin’s (A Green and Ancient Light) stellar and unique novel combines lots of heart, a plot that replicates the best of classic Westerns, and awesome cosmic horror into one terrifying, thought-provoking, and entertaining package. Recommend to those who enjoyed Lone Women by Victor LaValle.

We Live Here Now
Pinborough (Insomnia), the queen of the twist, has another winner with a fast-paced and original update to the British gothic and the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
A solid anthology from a trusted small press that has recently secured major distribution. Suggest to fans of compelling horror stories that center rage and identity, such as House of Bone and Rain by Gabino Iglesias or The Eyes Are the Best Part by Monika Kim.
PREMIUM
Feast While You Can
Queer possession horror for those seeking an atmospheric and steamy paranormal romance. Recommended for fans of Rachel Yoder’s Nightbitch or Sheri Lewis Wohl’s She Wolf.
