Secrets in Scarlet Interview

Josh and several other authors were interviewed by the guys at Drawn to the Flame podcast about their stories in the newest Arkham Horror anthology, Secrets in Scarlet. Go check it out here!

Gaslight Ghouls Out Now

The Kindle edition of Belanger Books’ newest anthology, Gaslight Ghouls, is now available to pick up. It contains a great line-up of stories, including Josh’s contribution, “A Killing Thought”, which sees Holmes and Watson return to the scene of one of their most infamous adventures in pursuit of a foe unlike any they have faced before.

Far from the warming glow of London gaslight, in the remotest villages, on high hilltops, in forgotten valleys, and ancient caverns, a scream can echo for miles without reaching a sympathetic ear.

Age old beliefs hang in the air like the morning mist, in places where the old ways and the older gods may be forsaken but are never forgotten. Bound in secrecy, sealed by blood, the traditions of ages past bubble up from the slumbering dark earth, crying out for a return to the old ways, and there is always someone listening. Someone, or some thing…

Into this landscape comes Sherlock Holmes, casting the light of reason and modern logic wherever he goes. Can the Great Detective prevail against centuries of ingrained superstition and ritual? Can the modern science of deduction overcome belief in the oldest of evils?

Can Sherlock Holmes, in twelve new tales by modern masters of horror, triumph over superstitions, new and old, and the ghoulish monsters and madmen who exploit them?

When former career criminal Westlake finds himself semi-zombified and shuffling towards Atlantic City, he freaks out. He’s supposed to be dead, after all. Kidnapped, he becomes part of a savage gladiator-styled show for the amusement of a heartless overlord. Lucky for him, ex-cop Estela Ramirez and her crew of mishap heroes are already on their way to save him and stop the horrors being inflicted on the humans in good ol’ AC… if they can figure out a way to fly a plane there, that is.

An expert thief outwits foes old and new to defeat a sinister summoning, in this hair-raising noir-thriller from the bestselling world of Arkham Horror

Adventuress Countess Alessandra Zorzi has a new vocation: reacquiring the occult artifacts she stole to put into the safer hands of Miskatonic University.

With her new apprentice, Pepper Kelly, Zorzi tracks the infamous Zanthu Tablets to Paris. But the city is rife with spies and the countess has many enemies.

When Pepper is kidnapped, it becomes clear that someone is out for revenge.

Zorzi must rescue her apprentice, find the tablets, and prevent an old enemy from summoning an army of vengeful ghouls from the depths of the catacombs. Stealing relics is a lot harder the second time around…

Shadows Over Avalon Out Now

18thWall Productions’ newest anthology, Shadows Over Avalon, is now available! It features a wonderful line-up of stories, including Josh’s tale of lycanthropy and cosmic horror, “Soothes the Fire”, in which the cursed knight, Sir Marrok, is all that stands between the legacy of Camelot and the horrors of the Outer Darkness…no matter how much he might wish otherwise…

Despite Merlin’s arts, the stars are right over Camelot.

When King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, he established more than a nation. He established an ideal. Where righteousness and learning could thrive. Where valiant knights battled evil. Camelot, the incorruptible dream.

From beyond the stars and before time, something stirs. Spoken of in the Necronomicon, eldritch gods make their influence known. Awakened by loathsome constellations, they arise from sea-locked tombs and turn men’s minds from outer spheres. The Mythos, the corrupting nightmare. 

The nightmare spreads. Troupes of actors travel the land in patronage to a king draped in yellow, monks turn their service to a god dreaming in the sea, and living storms stalk the winters. How knights such as Gawain, Percival, Ascamore, and Lancelot respond will save or damn all things…
