A dark speculative fiction anthology of ecological delights and nightmares. In each piece, Nature prevails, it triumphs, one way or another, with teeth, claws, vines, tentacles, or more over human exploitation. Prose and poetry are equals here, giving you decadent, violent, and elegant delights. Dark humor and dark tales for dreams of a better tomorrow. All speculative subgenres are included, from literary horror, extreme horror, psychological horror to dark science fiction and new weird. Beloved authors of horror, science fiction and new voices all raised in a cautionary chorus for ecological awareness. Life must always find a way.
All proceeds go to The Nature Conservancy.
The LGBTQ+ community is a wondrous spectrum in which gender identities and sexual orientations, or lack thereof, are not only accepted but celebrated. It is in this spirit that the diverse authors of We’re Still Here: An Anthology of LGBTQ+ Horror composed thirteen thought-provoking, emotion-inspiring, and highly entertaining tales. This book follows last year’s successful We’re Here anthology, which raised an agreeable sum for the Trevor Project. And we hope to do the same this year. So, sit back, relax, enjoy some dark, disturbing, and scary stories, and know that you’ve made a difference.
From government experiments to telepathic vultures, alien invasions and a forest revolution, some of the best authors in indie horror have come together to deliver disturbing tales to raise money for the Humane Society International. Prepare for feral women, killer felines, maggots and human farms to invade your nightmares.
All proceeds from this book will go to The Humane Society International.
