  The story revolves around a Bostonian painter named Richard Upton Pickman who creates horrifying images. His works are brilliantly executed, but so graphic that they result in the revocation of his membership in the Boston Art Club and he is shunned by his fellow artists. The narrator is a friend of Pickman, who, after the artist's mysterious disappearance, relates to another acquaintance how he was taken on a tour of Pickman's personal gallery, hidden away in a run-down backwater slum of the city. As the two delved deeper into Pickman's mind and art, the rooms seemed to grow ever more evil and the paintings ever more horrific, ending with a final enormous painting of an unearthly, red-eyed and vaguely canine humanoid balefully chewing on a human victim. A noise sent Pickman running outside the room with a gun while the narrator reached out to unfold what looked like a small piece of rolled paper attached to the monstrous painting. The narrator heard some shots and Pickman walked back in with the smoking gun, telling a story of shooting some rats, and the two men departed.

  A "genuinely scary" horror debut written in "prose so beautiful you won't want to rush" about a boy who transforms into a monster, a monster who tries to be a man, and the people who love him in every form he takes (Ana Reyes) 
   
     
   
  Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago's lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family's decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family's communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life. 
   
    
   
  A thought-provoking meditation on grief, acceptance, and the monstrous sides of love and loyalty, Gerardo Sámano Córdova blends bold imagination and evocative prose with deep emotional rigor. Told in four acts that span the globe from Brooklyn to Berlin, Monstrilio offers, with uncanny clarity, a cathartic and precise portrait of being human.

  In Dedra L. Stevenson's first horror thriller, a young woman unleashes a terror in the form of a dark entity upon her life. Unlike Stevenson's work in Fantasy Fiction and Courtroom Drama, The Skinwalker: Resurrection promises psychological thrills like no other—a dark spirit, a possession, a hidden identity, a love story, the mighty tribe of the Navajo, and a finale that will surprise you. 
    
  Shortly after the discovery of a mysterious book of witchcraft spells in her home, Carmella unknowingly invites something sinister into her world, a long-deceased Navajo skinwalker, and this skinwalker wants to walk the Earth in human flesh again. The witch's faithful servant follows each step that Carmella takes as he serves his Mistress. 
    
  Slowly but surely, she falls prey to the darkness, and only the tribe is left to help her. With the support of her friends and the man that she loves, she is taken to the reservation and a traditional ceremony ensues. Carmella becomes the mortal captive of Haseeya, the Skinwalker witch, and the tribe must ask for the help of an ancient force from the stars.

  Lena Wrace - Duplicity and...

  Mary Amelia St. Clair was born on the 24th August 1863 in Rock Ferry, Cheshire.  
   
  Her father was a Liverpool shipowner who, after being made bankrupt, became an alcoholic and died whilst May was still a child.  The family then moved to Ilford, just outside London and, after a solitary year of education, May was required to stay home and help look after her older brothers, four of whom were suffering from fatal congenital heart disease. 
   
  Despite this difficult start May was determined to pursue a literary career. From 1896 May wrote professionally to support herself and her mother.  By the turn of the century she was producing not only poetry volumes but short stories, novels and some non-fiction.  She was an active feminist and supporter of the Suffrage Movement, her literary talents help to shred ideas that the suffragists were driven by sexual frustration because of the shortage of men.  
   
  Her 1913 novel ‘The Combined Maze’, the story of a London clerk and the two women he loves, was highly praised by many, including George Orwell, while Agatha Christie considered it one of the greatest English novels of its time. 
   
  In 1914, she volunteered to join the Munro Ambulance Corps on the Western Front in Flanders.  Although her time there was short-lived the experience was later reflected in both prose and poetry. 
   
  She published several poetry volumes as well as writing early criticism on Imagism and several poets of the movement.  Her novels were now also influenced by modernist techniques and her supernatural short stories are increasingly seen as valuable additions to the genre.  
   
  From the late 1920s, she suffered from the onset of Parkinson's disease, and her writing career was effectively over. 
   
  May Sinclair died on the 14th November 1946.  She was 83 and buried at St John-at-Hampstead's churchyard, London.
