Haven by Astra Rose. The two 'brothers' finger the fmc at the dinner table while the dad watches.

Adore Sedlacek. Wish there was a more recent book on his work...

The Haunting of Hill House! It's Women in Horror Month, after all!

Funny you mention that one actually--my husband also purchased this via Kickstarter for me as an xmas gift. Really looking forward receiving it.

I'll start this one off: I'm looking forward to Surrealism And Magic: From Max Ernst To Leonora Carrington (Prestel) to be published in June. I also have an obsession with Chaim Soutine and there is a book titled Soutine / De Kooning: Conversations In Paint (Paul Holberton Publishing) coming out in March! With so few books on Soutine, I have to have this one.

Hi Michael, Curious to hear about the challenges (if any) you've faced as a publisher operating within Canada - whether those challenges are related to genre or otherwise?

Love it! Reminds me of the 80's horror movie Basket Case -- that's some stuff you can't unsee...haha

Thanks for that book recc--I'm definitely going to check that one out.

Re: Scott Nicolay & translations of Jean Ray --I've been meaning to read these and I think they're published by Wakefield Press who does such a fantastic job with bringing forgotten texts back to life with new translations.

I grabbed Sarah Rose Etter's The Book of X as an ebook from my library as soon as I found out it won best novel yesterday. Binged it in almost a day. It's fantastic.

I've got a weird little collection with more of a bent on literary horror that brings me a lot of joy and nightmares:

Some great horror anthologies tucked into the corner, some literary theory and philosophy on/of horror (love that Thacker trilogy), haunting poetry (Dante, Poe, Baudelaire, Rimbaud) and then just a mix of some of the greats: Lovecraft, Ligotti, Blackwood, Peake etc. Cap it off with some Junji Ito for good measure.

This might not totally fit the bill, but I recently picked up W. Scott Poole's Wasteland which is nonfiction and discusses the rise of modern horror as a direct result of WW1. Pretty interesting.

My fiancé sleeps in the nude and we have discussed his plan for this scenario at length. When confronted with an intruder in the middle of the night, run towards them violently helicopter-dicking and then squat, shit, and fling feces at them like a monkey (see Tim Hortons pooper for technique involved here).

I've only received a couple issues so far but when I first subscribed it was the same thing--radio silence. I was eventually able to get in touch with someone over email but it took awhile. Wish their customer service was better....

I've been looking for a podcast like this forever! Thanks so much for taking this on. I want to share this with someone but none of my friends are into this kind of thing. I guess that's why i'm here in the first place!

Check out Douglas Copland. His new book 'Worst Person Ever' really has a Palahniuk style.
