S.C. Mendes

“What in the world did I just read?!” - Sarah McCarthy, Netgalley
Hungry for a disturbing mystery?
The Little Season is part splatterpunk, part horror thriller, and totally bizarre!
Talons is a new restaurant looking for food tasters, and Jordan Carter jumped at the chance to join the focus group.
However, the qualifying questions embarrassed him. The first appetizer was a stale piece of bread. And worst of all, Jordan felt sick after the meal.
When Talons offers him double the money for a second tasting, he agrees and shrugs off the illness as a coincidence.
After the second meal, though, he’s convinced something is wrong. Daily nightmares and concerning voices culminate in Jordan vomiting blood. Doctors can find nothing physically wrong with him, and medical tests determine the blood isn’t even his.
Feeling scared and alone, Jordan dives into a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, astrology, crystal healing, secret societies, and new-age "science to unravel Talon's ancient secret.
Warning: If you can get past the first chapter, you're gonna have a good time
Early reviews
"S.C. Mendes can write the most disgusting horror, but has great characters that always remind you tomorrow is never a guarantee, but there is hope." - Dorie Koch, Netgalley
“At first I was like… I don’t think that this will be for me, I just didn’t vibe with it. But the more I read the more I couldn’t put it down, and when I read the last page I was like WHAT!!! I wanted more to the story! Fast paced, short little novel that you will either love or hate.” - Haley Carter, Netgalley
“I love the artwork throughout this book. It's a fun splatterpunk read for people who like other writers in the splatterpunk/ extreme horror genre like Nikki Noir.” - Destini Doss, Netgalley

A Botanical Daughter

Noah Medlock

It is an unusual thing, to live in a botanical garden. But Simon and Gregor are an unusual pair of gentlemen. Hidden away in their glass sanctuary from the disapproving tattle of Victorian London, they are free to follow their own interests without interference. For Simon, this means long hours in the dark basement workshop, working his taxidermical art. Gregor's business is exotic plants—lucrative, but harmless enough. Until his latest acquisition, a strange fungus which shows signs of intellect beyond any plant he's seen, inspires him to attempt a masterwork: true intelligent life from plant matter. 
 
 
 
Driven by the glory he'll earn from the Royal Horticultural Society for such an achievement, Gregor ignores the flaws in his plan: that intelligence cannot be controlled; that plants cannot be reasoned with; and that the only way his plant-beast will flourish is if he uses a recently deceased corpse for the substrate. 
 
 
 
The experiment—or Chloe, as she is named—outstrips even Gregor's expectations, entangling their strange household. But as Gregor's experiment flourishes, he wilts under the cost of keeping it hidden from jealous eyes. The mycelium grows apace in this sultry greenhouse. But who is cultivating whom?

"Who killed her?" asked Reynard. 
"A grim reaper," said the Necromantor. 
"Lancelot, why did you kill her?" said Mortimer, turning on his son. 
"It wasn't me! Why does everyone always blame me when they see a dead person," protested the Necromancer. 
"Because you are usually the killer, you psycho," said Mortimer. 
"I am not guilty now," said the Necromancer. 
"It wasn't him the reaper spoke, he had a deep bass-baritone-sounding voice," said the Necromantor. 
"I can't go that low," said Lance, the Necromancer who was a light tenor.

Lure

Tim McGregor

"Immersive and utterly compelling, Tim McGregor's Lure will stab you in the heart with a hook and plunge you deep into the blackest depths where sunlight cannot follow. A monstrously inventive seaside fable of tradition, adolescence, and loss."Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke 
In the chapel of a forsaken fishing village on another world's shore, the seawashed bones of old gods hang from the rafters. 
When a new god drifts into the bay, the menfolk fear nothing as they reach for their spears; but capturing Her may be their last act of reckless bravado. Her very presence brings dissent and madness. Her voice threatens to tear the starving, angry community apart.  
Setting a siege of relentless horror against the backdrop of brine and blood, Lure blurs the line between natural disaster and self-destruction. 
"Tightly told, with great tension and pacing; an eerie tale with great social commentary. It's fantastic and stands apart from the crowd." Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below 
Tim McGregor is the author of Hearts Strange and Dreadful, the Spookshow series, and a handful of other titles. Taboo in Four Colors comes out in November. Tim lives in Toronto with his wife, two kids, and one spiteful ghost. He can be reached at timmcgregorauthor.com
