New Authors and collections. A collection of new tales with brilliant new writers and lost souls from the darkest corners of literature and legend: Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer mingles with Dante’s infernal spirits and a retold tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses. And with the dark fiction of William Hope Hodgson and Arthur Machen this promises to be a haunting, chilling read.

Harvey, Kurt Hunt, Michael Matheson, J.A.W. McCarthy, John M. McIlveen, Jessica Nickelsen, Michael Penncavage, Lina Rather, Alexandra Renwick, Aeryn Rudel, Lizz-Ayn Shaarawi, Erin Skolney, Lucy A. Snyder, David Tallerman, and Damien Angelica Walters. These appear alongside classic stories by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, F.
