We've signed Greg Sisco and his collection SOMETHING'S GOTTA KILL YOU - cover reveal and release date coming soon!
This is a wicked short story collection full of Greg's acerbic wit as well as one of the greatest short stories we've ever read - SUMMERS WITH ANNIE (from the now out of print anthology WORST LAID PLANS). Check out his amazing novel IN NIGHTMARES WE'RE ALONE in the meantime.

Cover wrap by Matthew Wildasin
Interior formatting by R.J. Benetti

“Lots of creeps and chills, but just enough laughs to lull you into a false sense of security. These stories will make you want to get a preemptive rabies shot. Or five!”

-Thomas J. Misuraca, writer/playwright of If You Read This, You Will Die and Geeks! The Musical!

“At turns delightful, horrifying, and hilarious, this collection of creature-feature stories will entertain fans of such classics as Tales from the Crypt, The Twilight Zone, and Zombeavers. Read it while petting your dog. Or not.”

-Dana Hammer, writer of The Cannibal’s Guide to Fasting and Red Wings, a forthcoming movie from EMA Films

“A macabre and terrifying collection of nature’s monstrosities, in which Baughfman reminds us that, sometimes, we are the prey.”

-Kevin David Anderson, author of Night of the Living Trekkies and Try Not to Die in Roswell and Beyond

"A veritable Whitman's Sampler of slithering, scurrying, slobbering sickness… I'm just now noticing that funny look my dog's been giving me. Great, now I have to call a pet exorcist.”

-John Busser, playwright of Annnd Scene (of the Crime) and Children’s Letters to Satan

"Illustrates perfectly that nature can be both beautiful and brutal. Perfect short campfire stories to remind us we were never top of the food chain!"

-Jacquelyn Priskorn, playwright of Barn Wood and Blue Roses and The Rot

“This book is a blood-soaked love letter to the natural world.”

-Theresa Halvorsen, author of River City Widows and Warehouse Dreams

“Will leave you bloody from the animal savageness prowling through the pages. This is the Halloween bag of literary treats you’ve been craving.”

-Max Evans, author of Escape to Butterfly Ave and Where’s Pops?

“A collection of ferocious tales that will definitely bite and won’t let go. It will have you rethinking our relationship with the wild.”

-Travis Williams, playwright
