Step into a world where ancient evils stir in the shadows, cursed souls wear human faces, and forbidden knowledge comes at a blood price. This isn’t just a scare… it’s a descent into madness.
🔪 What’s lurking inside?
A nightmare in ink: Slow-burn terror, unreliable narrators, and villains so chilling they’ll stalk your subconscious.
Lethal, immersive worlds: Think abandoned asylums, villages with pagan secrets, or forests that watch you back.
Teaser clues to freeze your blood: Is it a demonic pact? A haunting that spans centuries? Or a truth too horrifying to survive?
Perfect for fans of: Stephen Graham Jones, Catriona Ward, and T. Kingfisher.
Warning: May cause sleepless nights, uncontrollable glances over your shoulder, and the urge to sleep with the lights on. You’ve been warned.

Let customers speak for us
from 61 reviewsI like the fact I receive books from authors I never knew about to widen my reading genres.
After providing a picture of my book collection, they selected books that were so perfect for me that one was already on my TBR and the other was an author I had been looking to try but hadn't got around to.
Really chuffed with my books thank you.. Definitely picked the right choices. I can't wait for my next box 😊
Hadn't read the books before but they suited me very well and in very good condition
