People often say that there are no such things as monsters. They are wrong. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other unnamable horrors co-exist with us. Watching us. Using us. Preying upon us.

Welcome to Pinebox, a sleepy little East Texas town with a lot more than its share of trouble. Whether it's the haunted diner luring weary travelers, the unexplained 'alligator attacks", or the crone who just might be hexing neighborhood kids, trouble always seems to be hidden just below the surface. Buried, but not forgotten.

Join Editor Matt M. McElroy and unearth these tales of rural horror from a dozen voices of the macabre:

• Jason L Blair
• Preston P. DuBose
• Trey Gorden
• Derek Gunn
• Jess Hartley
• Shane Lacy Hensley

and nbsp;No other story has touched as many hearts and endeared itself into the American fabric as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Often toted as America's First Fairy Tale, this heartwarming classic has been made and remade again and again across every medium known to man. The themes are timeless, the characters themselves beloved.

and nbsp;But like all fairy tales, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has one foot planted in the fantastic, and the other foot planted in blood. Explore the darker side of Oz...the parts too terrifying or obscene to be told as bedtime stories.

and nbsp;Here are 19 tales by some of today's hottest Indie writers peeling back the emerald layers of the land of Oz and revealing the pink, bloody flesh beneath. Some of the people and places you may recognize from your childhood, but you won't believe what happens to them.

and nbsp;Shadows DO fall in the Emerald City, and where they are their darkest is where you will find the true terror of Oz.

"This is, first and foremost, an anthology of horror stories. And readers looking for something different in a horror collection, a collection that achieves this not only through the unique background of Oz but through a variety of tales and story modes, will find a sinister pleasure in these excursions over the rainbow."

--M-BRANE SF

and nbsp;"Shadows of the Emerald City, JW Schnarr's 19-story anthology about the dark side of Oz, offers a sense of Oz's continuing expansiveness as well as a satisfying number of characters that yearn to be part of the enchanted land."

--Senses Five Press

and nbsp;"JW Schnarr hit it out of the park with this collect of macabre, dirty, perverse, corrupted stories. I have never paused while reading to say, That is so f'd up! so many times before while reading an anthology. And I meant in the nicest way possible. Though, nice is not a word to be used with this anthology...ever. 5/5"

--Jennifer Brozek, Apex Book Company

and nbsp;"The bloodstained yellow brick road begins and ends somewhere close to the concrete of Calgary, Alberta! Definitely a solid collection that reminds you that there is a lot more than ooze and awe's in the Scary old land of Oz."

--Steve Vernon, Author of Maritime Monsters

"...a breath of fresh air into the horror genre that goes back a hundred years to find the most underutilized creatures in the genre. This is definitely a book to round out any horror library..."

A wide-ranging and friendly journey through H.P. Lovecraft and rsquo;s tales of cosmic terror and wonder, the Tour de Lovecraft is the ideal companion to the work of the twentieth century and rsquo;s greatest American horrorist.

Kenneth Hite has spent decades reading and re-reading Lovecraft and his heirs, slipping through their forests of verbiage to discover the solid literary ground beneath. With his game designer and rsquo;s eye for structure and connection, in this book he reveals the threads and themes that run throughout Lovecraft and rsquo;s masterpieces. The Tour de Lovecraft alternately ambles and careens through all fifty-one of the Master and rsquo;s horror tales in chronological order from and ldquo;The Tomb and rdquo; to and ldquo;The Haunter of the Dark, and rdquo; offering cheerful opinion, incisive literary criticism, playful speculation, and the occasional unhinged rant. It and rsquo;s a response to Lovecraft, and to his occasionally humorless critics, that offers you Edmund Burke and rsquo;s Gothic perspective on Cthulhu side-by-side with and ldquo;The Haunter of the Dark and rdquo; considered as Grail quest.

and mdash; John Scott Tynes, creator of Delta Green, from his Foreword

and ldquo;Simply put, Ken Hite knows his stuff. If you have any interest in Lovecraft beyond Cthulhu kitsch, you owe it to yourself to read this. and rdquo;
