1. Dan Coxon

Come Sing for the Harrowing

"Beautifully bizarre and darkly atmospheric." —LoveReading "Dan Coxon is a talented short story specialist whose impressive body of work straddles the supernatural, the uncanny, the weird and into folk horror. There is much to enjoy in this excellent collection, from sinister moments to occult rituals, with nods to old gods and the darkness which ripples beyond the veil. Crafting uncanny or weird short stories is an art form and Come Sing for the Harrowing sees this author at the peak of his creative powers." —Horror DNA "Come Sing For the Harrowing by Dan Coxon is the excellent third collection of sixteen darkly weird stories, seven of them published for the first time. Coxon is also the editor of several anthologies, but should be better known for his short fiction." —Best Horror of the Year: Volume 17, Ellen Datlow "One of the most formally inventive folk horror collections to emerge from British weird fiction in years. Reading Come Sing for the Harrowing is like crossing a moor in thin fog." —Ginger Nuts of Horror “The stories are deft and subtle, occupying that sweet spot where the weird and the strange and unsettling and the uncanny converge and collide… Coxon is a writer who, flitting on the edge of horror as a genre, extends and complicates the domains of folk horror and the weird in important ways.” —Brian Evenson, author of Last Days “Come Sing for the Harrowing is a true gift for connoisseurs of the bizarre and the unusual. Sinister and deeply affecting, Coxon’s remarkable collection is too compelling, too inventive to miss.” —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke “Coxon expertly weaves modern gothic and folk horror… Salvation and damnation haunt these pages, locked in an infernal embrace.” —Laird Barron, author of Not a Speck of Light “Coxon brings his beautifully rhythmic prose to tales of folk horror, cosmic horror, and the weird… I loved reading this collection and highly recommend it!” —Christi Nogle, Bram Stoker Award® winner and author of The Best of Our Past, the Worst of Our Future "Dan Coxon's stories are rooted in fertile folk-horror soil, branching out in unpredictable directions to surprise, disturb and shock. These beautifully written tales draw you in... and then bite down hard. It's a superb collection that every horror fan should own." —Tim Lebbon, author of The Silence and Secret Lives of the Dead

1. Cullen Bunn

Bones of Our Stars, Blood of Our World

"Bones of Our Stars, Blood of Our World drew me in with its well-drawn characters and familiar small-town setting...and then it pounced on me in the dark and ambushed my sleep for several nights. Cullen Bunn has a knack for finding the soft spot of terror and driving the knife in deep. I finished reading this unforgettable chiller with blurry eyes and a pounding heart." —Richard Chizmar, New York Times bestselling author of Widow’s Point: The Complete Haunting and Chasing the Boogeyman
