Hungry Shadow Press Has Shut Down
A Farewell to Hungry Shadow Press: A Sad Day for Indie Horror
At Horror Tree, we’ve always been passionate about supporting and celebrating the vibrant world of independent presses that bring speculative fiction to life. It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Hungry Shadow Press closing its doors. Under the guidance of Brandon Applegate, Hungry Shadow Press was making a name for itself in indie horror, publishing a few fantastic anthologies and quite a few drabble of both innovative and chilling works by both seasoned and emerging authors.
The decision to shut down, as detailed in the official press release below, is a reflection of life’s unpredictable challenges rather than a lack of passion or creativity. We understand the immense dedication it takes to run an independent press, and while we are saddened to see Hungry Shadow Press conclude its journey, we fully support Brandon’s decision to prioritize his family during this time.
To Brandon, the authors whose voices were amplified by Hungry Shadow Press, and the readers who were captivated by their stories—we extend our deepest gratitude. Your contributions have left an indelible mark on the indie horror community. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and look forward to seeing what comes next from this talented group.

Hungry Shadow Press Shutting Down, Current Projects Rehomed or Cancelled, No New Projects
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the closure of Hungry Shadow Press.
Over the past few years, we have published some of the coolest indie horror books out there filled with stories by some of the best horror authors, established and new, in the game. However, due to numerous family emergencies that have changed how I will have to spend my time over the coming months and years, I will no longer have the time and resources necessary to continue to run the press.
Patrick Barb’s anthology And One Day We Will Die: Strange Stories Inspired by the Music of Neutral Milk Hotel will now be published by Patrick himself, fully funded and ready to continue on schedule without my involvement.
Vault of Shadows is unfortunately cancelled. I have notified all the submitting authors for whom I have contact information.
Thank you to everyone who has supported HSP projects over the last few years. It has been an honor and a privilege.
