I, Phone by S.A.  Writes
Rate this book
Clear rating
There is something disquieting about the object you are probably holding right now. It knows your sleep patterns, your insecurities, your 2 a.m. search history. It has seen you at your worst — bathroom, gym, existential crisis — and it has never once ...more

Blizzard of the Century by Jk Thomas

J.K. Thomas drops a yeti into a snowbound Alaskan town and lets nature — both human and otherwise — take its course. *Blizzard of the Century* is creature horror at its most elemental: a record-breaking storm, an avalanche that severs Winter Haven fr ...more

The Black Dust Rises by Razvan-Gabriel Popa
Rate this book
Clear rating
There is a moment in every compelling fantasy when the world itself becomes the thing you fear most. In Răzvan-Gabriel Popa's *The Black Dust Rises*, that moment arrives early and never relents. The black dust — volcanic ash reimagined as something s ...more

Sanctuary at Sea by Stuart Smith
Rate this book
Clear rating
The difficult trick with a sequel is not to repeat what worked but to deepen it. Stuart Smith understands this, and *Sanctuary at Sea* arrives as a markedly more confident, more textured novel than its predecessor — which was already a strong opener. ...more

Mia by Bernard  Leo Remakus
Mia
by Bernard Leo Remakus (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Bernard Leo Remakus has written a book that will frustrate readers looking for what its genre label promises — and quietly reward those willing to accept what it actually delivers. *Mia* is marketed as a military thriller, and while the architecture ...more

Golem by Kim Aaron
Golem
by Kim Aaron (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Kim Aaron sets his thriller on the Shackleton moon base, where a mining machine begins behaving in ways its programming cannot explain — turning a controlled lunar environment into a pressure cooker of paranoia and pursuit. The premise borrows its na ...more

The Last Sanctuary of the Living by Stuart Smith
Rate this book
Clear rating
Stuart Smith plants his zombie apocalypse along the windswept English coast — Deal, Walmer, Dover Castle — and the setting alone distinguishes this from the genre's American-dominated landscape. Sydney Carter is a reluctant everyman thrust into leade ...more

The Rising by Stevie Hostetter
The Rising
by Stevie Hostetter (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
Stevie Lynn Hostetter writes horror the way a poet handles grief — with precision, imagery, and an understanding that what haunts us most is what we have buried without proper ceremony. *The Rising* is set in a New Orleans that breathes through every ...more
