A selection of some of the finest horror writers of today were invited by Matt Shaw to bring him their twisted tales for this anthology. A book put together with the sole purpose of reminding readers what the horror genre is really about. Each author was told they could write about any subject matter they wanted so long as it was set in a world of horror. The only rule they had: No Paranormal Romance. Vampires do not sparkle, werewolves do not date, Witches do not scour Tinder for Virgins and ghosts do not declare their undying love whilst tidying the apartment... This is horror...

Bigger. Bolder. More Personal.
Picking up where My Life In Horror Volume I left off, this book collects the final five years of essays in Kit Power’s celebrated My Life In Horror blog series, each one revisited and revised for this edition. For Volume II. The subject matter is even more eclectic than Volume I, with totemic horror works sitting alongside other pop culture artifacts and deeply personal experiences as Kit digs deeper, really trying to get under the skin of the art that moved him as a child and young man... and to answer that seemingly eternal question, Why Horror?
This volume two collection includes essays on The Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, Candyman, George Ramero's Martin, Bodycount's debut album, Natural Born Killers, Superman III, The Columbine massacre, and many, many more. As with Volume I, each essay has been revisited and revised, creating a second autobiography via the medium of pop culture.
"It's his life in horror, but he sure as hell makes it feel like yours, too" James Everington, Author of The Quarantined CityPRAISE FOR VOLUME I:
“If you want to mainline someone’s utter love and immersion in books, movies and music, with beautifully honest reflections on life, the world, and everything, look no further.” Stephen Volk, Screenwriter and Author
“My Life In Horror is a loving, enthusiastic, insightful and compulsive read for any fan of the genre. I fully recommend it.” - Brian Keene, Horror Grandmaster
“Warning: This book is almost impossible to put down.” - Tracy Fahey, Author: The Unheimlich Manoeuvre
Not for Bill Cutter, supply teacher and weekend rock star. His band, The Fallen, have just released their latest tune on social media, and it’s blowing up.
So is the body count.
Now, Bill faces a frantic race against time to stop the spread of the song, before the horrific effects can no longer be contained.
Terrifying, bitterly funny, and tragic, A Song For The End is a breakneck, bloodsoaked tale of truth, lies, consequences… and Rock N Roll.
Edgar Allan Poe's death remains a mystery even today.
There are many theories as to what killed him. Some people believe Poe's death was caused by suicide, some believe murder, others consider cholera to be the leading factor, or hypoglycaemia, rabies, syphilis and even influenza. Whatever happened to him, Poe was found in a delirious state and wearing clothes believed to be belonging to someone else. In the days before his death, he was heard to be calling out for Reynolds, a man to which no one knew of Poe's connection.
This book does not tell you the truth in what happened to Poe. That will remain, forever, a mystery.
What this book does is bring together some of the biggest names in horror - from the mind behind the horror anthologies Masters Of Horror and NEXT DOOR - to tell
THEIR
version of what happened to Poe in his final moments. Expect gore, expect black humour, expect sex, expect violence, double-crossing and murder most foul... Expect pure fiction as we let our imaginations run riot.Including work from:

Just how much are we shaped by the entertainment that scares us?
Author, blogger, podcaster and lifelong fan of genre Kit Power sets out to answer that question with a collection of essays that take on the works - and events - that scarred him as a child and young adult. Stephen King’s IT. Hellraiser. The Thing. The Wasp Factory. Jeff Wayne’s War Of The Worlds. Hillsborough. Welding childhood recollection with adult insight and analysis, Power digs deep into his personal reactions and feelings as he attempts to understand his continued fascination with the genre - and the emotion - of Horror.
Collecting the first three years of his work for the 12-time BFS nominated review site Gingernuts Of Horror, with each essay revised and expanded, My Life In Horror Volume One represents one fan’s journey through genre - an autobiography via the medium of pop culture.

An electrifying anthology of new horror stories by award-winning masters of the genre.
Twenty-one brand-new stories of the ominous and terrifying from some of the horror genre's most talented writers. In 'The Dead Thing' Paul Tremblay draws us into the world of a neglected teenage girl and her younger brother and the evil that lurks at the heart of their family. In Gemma Files' 'Bulb' a woman calls in to a podcast to tell the terrifying story of why she has escaped off-grid. And Rio Youers' 'The Typewriter' tells in diary form of the havoc wreaked by a malevolent machine. Infinitely varied and beautifully told, New Fears 2 is an unmissable collection of horror fiction.
If you are expecting a neat, predictable set of stories TURN BACK NOW
If you want horror but hate bizarro or getting “the feels” THEN STEP AWAY
This collection of tales is what happens when one man’s art meets 12 authors fiction, and when writers are free to ignore their genre of choice and typical story conventions.
12 eye-challenging op-art designs were used to inspire these 12 mind-bending stories, which contain everything from futuristic sci-fi to fantastical comedy, and heartfelt life musings to near-cosmic nihilism.
This is VISIONS FROM THE VOID
Sure, the stories and essays are his - 21 pieces culled from the very best of his fiction and nonfiction work of the last four years, including previously unpublished work - but as to the rest...
Kit Power has no idea who (or what) K-POX is. Or The Ministry of Information, come to that. He doesn't know what The Information War is/was, or when it is supposed to have happened. He has no idea at all why a book that appears to have been sent from the future is so insistent that his stories hold the key to recovering the history of that time.
Kit suspects it may all just be an elaborate prank of some kind.
Still, it probably wouldn't do any harm to read it. Just in case...
Matt Shaw has called upon some of the biggest names in horror to put together an anti-Christmas anthology of horror and weirdness!
