Season's Bleedings, edited by Roma Gray, cover art by Stephen Cooney

The Holidays: A time of family, laughter, gifts, eggnog, toasted marshmallows - and terror!

As our own version of a 'Secret Santa', we asked some of our favorite horror writers to craft their best tales of murder and mayhem featuring each other. No one knew who was writing about who, only that someone out there was plotting their literary demise. And, as one might expect, some of these authors got a little carried away, not only brutalizing their selected victim, but also attacking a few other writers along the way.

When you read these stories, you will see why we think the holidays area scream...

Drowning in Gore

Have you heard the way the water moves? The slow drift of a thousand rivers, the mist of the waves, the fall of rain, the weight of fog on your flesh. Do you know its secrets? Ancient and primordial the waters rise and fall all around and deep within us all, driving and deep. What dwells within? What does it whisper when we're not listening, how does it swirl in the wrinkles and folds of our flesh? What stories would it tell, full and swollen with thin blood and thicker matter, death and the years of man's brief history, wrapped in water's endless cycles. Go there with us now, listen to the words, see her dark secrets, taste of the salt and iron, drown in its gore.

Stories by: Toneye Eyenot, Essel Pratt, Kevin Candela, Richard D. Ramsey, Amanda M. Lyons, Donald Armfield, Tina Piney, Charie D. La Marr, Brian Barr, Justin Hunter, Kent Hill, Dona Fox, and Jim Goforth

Midnight Remains (2nd Edition)

The authors of J. Ellington Ashton Press have come to be known for twisted minds and warped stories through anthologies like Rejected for Content and Splat, but we’ve also been the home of subtler fair that cuts just as close to the bone-often to the very marrow. In anthologies like All That Remains and Midnight Remains, two anthologies that brought together some of the most renowned small press authors currently in print, authors found a voice in darker spaces. In this 2nd edition Midnight Remains returns, including newer JEA authors who have more than earned their place, forging fresh paths among the classic stories of the first.

Strange Dominion: Weird Tales of the Wild West

Listen to the wind blow, feel the cold of the night after the heat of the day, gather round the fire and sit close to keep out the things that lurk in the shadows. Do you feel it? The weight of a thousand tales waiting in the dark to be uncovered, wild stories about how the west was not always won, may never be. There are ghosts here, demons, monsters, broken hearts and rendered souls thick with dust and blood- nothing is ever certain. Have you seen the way the shadows quake and shiver outside the fire? Do you sense them waiting for you in the night? Do you dare to know their strange dominion, to hear their siren call?
