The whaling vessel Merciful has just made its strangest catch yet: a massive whale containing a still-living man secreted within its stomach lining. Sailor Isaiah Chase is tasked with keeping the enigmatic man alive. As their relationship grows, a series of accidents, injuries and deaths quickly befall the ship and its crew. Isaiah is plagued by strangely prophetic dreams, even as the crew continues their endless quest for whale oil under the command of an increasingly unhinged captain. As events spiral further out of control, the mysterious man confesses what Isaiah has begun to suspect: the crew of The Merciful has fallen into a cycle of punishment for their greed and destruction. Isaiah must confront the sea's vengeance made flesh, and choose between this new, strange love and the fate of the ship itself.

A Choose Your Own Adventure...but New Weird Horror? We Got you. Tenebrous Press' first gamebook is a meta-exploration of religious trauma, arrested adolescence and anxiety…and it's Metal as F$%k. You wake with a brutal hangover, but that can't crush your spirits: you've been invited to take back the drum throne for Abyss, the cult band you co-founded! It means quashing a turbulent history with Abyss' vocalist, Austin. You aren't sure if he's invited you back to bury the hatchet, or if he's just desperate because infamous black metal legends Waste Doctrine are rolling through town. They've given you the opportunity to open for them and maybe, finally, get the hell out of this nowhere town. The promise of the upcoming gig doesn't come without its share of hurdles.

SPLIT SCREAM goes to its darkest corners yet with these twin odes to horrible parents! COME TO DADDY by Ryan T. Jenkins A damaged man endeavors to put the pieces back together after a lifetime of destruction; to reckon with his wife and son leaving him; to attend to the dreams of his dead mother’s well-manicured hand scuttling around at night; and the haunted movie poster of a B-list actor coming to life before his eyes. Distilled from the classic Gothic haunted house narrative comes this twisted ode to punk rock and fatherhood. MOTHER IS COMING HOME by David Corse When Otis discovers an undulating, flesh-like portal near his barn, he believes he’s finally found a way to escape his hometown and travel the world. All he has to do is sell the oddity to the highest bidder and leave home for good. His plans crumble when, during a drunken argument, he tosses his sickly, cruel mother through the portal. His elation is brief, though, as Otis realizes he must rescue his mother and protect the strange opening from prying eyes, no matter the cost.

But new laws forbid her from using the device when she's sole caregiver for her infant.

Despite a will to quit and a supportive new love interest in her birthing class, disabling CASUAL turns Valya's anxiety into full-blown panic attacks. Her psychiatrist offers to enroll her in a controversial clinical trial that would place a tandem implant in the baby and allow Valya to keep hers act...
This richly illustrated anthology gathers together classic short stories from masters of supernatural fiction including M. R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu and Arthur Machen, alongside lesser-known voices in the field including Eleanor Scott and Margery Lawrence, and popular writers less bound to the horror genre, such as Thomas Hardy and E. F. Benson. These are damnable tales, selected and beautifully illustrated by Richard Wells. They stalk the moors at night, the deep forests, cornered fields and dusky churchyards, the narrow lanes and old ways of these ancient places, drawing upon the haunted landscapes of folk-horror – a now widely used term first applied to a series of British films from t...
Che siano a colori, in bianco e nero, piccole iniziali sulle caviglie o arazzi che coprono tutto il corpo, che siano realizzati in una bettola del porto o con una lama e della fuliggine, i tatuaggi fanno parte da sempre della nostra storia. Osservando le tracce che gli esseri umani hanno impresso sulla loro pelle, possiamo comprendere persone, luoghi e momenti storici. Siamo abituati a pensare alle opere d'arte nei musei come a dei portali di accesso al nostro passato, ma a volte sembriamo ignorare che un ago, nel forare la pelle, deposita nel derma non solo l'inchiostro ma anche la storia delle nostre civiltà. Il corpo è una tela bianca che abbiamo imparato a dipingere, incidere, colorare...
