Sam Sattin is Lovecraft for the Snapchat set, an author who understands that horror is nuance, friendship is technicolor, and there are few things more pleasurable than roaring down the highway in a living truck. Do not read this at night. Do not read this alone. But read it. Now.”—Sean Beaudoin, author of ​​Wise Young Fool and ​​The Infects“Imagine if ​​Halloween had been written by The Kids in The Hall instead of John Carpenter and you start to understand the wild, mesmerizing mash up that is ​​The Silent End. Monsters and monstrous fathers, missing mothers and young love—somehow all of this and much more fits wonderfully into this book. It manages to be scary and sweet and very, very fine. Sam Sattin is a talent and this novel is a joy.”—Victor LaValle, author of ​​The Devil in Silver and ​​Big Machine“I dreamed I climbed into a 1950s sci-fi rocket ship with Thomas Pynchon, Charles Dickens, H.P. Lovecraft, Jonathan Lethem, Rabelais, and the crew from Monty Python. The ship didn’t launch—we went nowhere—but by the time they let me out, my hair gone white and my face locked forever in a skeleton’s grin, I’d had so much fun and terror and tragedy and delight, I was ready for the booby hatch. You can’t dream my dream, but you can get everything it gave me. All you’ve got to do is read Samuel Sattin’s ​​The Silent End.”—D. Foy, author of ​​Made to Break“Even coming in knowing The Silent End is going to be a different kind of story didn’t prepare me for the incredible creativity I soon discovered. The writing adds artistic flair to what you could call a thrilling monster ride for teenage geeks who find the courage to confront their worst nightmares…I will anxiously await the next story by Mr. Sattin and loudly encourage others to enjoy this one of a kind journey into his imagination.”—Timothy C. Ward“A creeptacular novel written in the style of Stephen King and which reminds me strongly of The Tommyknockers….It’s a masterful combination of horror as well as Young Adult literature which is likely to leave readers scared of their own shadows for a week. After all, you never know what’s hiding in them.”—Bookie Monster (5 out of 5 Bookies)“Entertaining, provocative, and engaging…Whether you’re a child of the 1980s like me or just love a good coming-of-age adventure yarn, The Silent End is worth a look.”—Jed W. Harris-Keith, Freak Sugar“If you’re looking for a good horror novel, you’ll want to keep your eye out for this one.”—Tony ‘G-Man’ Guerrero, Comic Vine“Samuel Sattin has written a young adult novel that’s right over the plate for pop culture fans.”—Hannah Means Shannon, Bleeding Cool“Deeply melancholy, a little frightening…Samuel Sattin has written The Silent End for teenagers who are actually teenagers.”—J. Wilbanks, Galleywampus“A creepy, bizarre, nightmare-logic story which put me in the mind of the Alan Wake game or Stephen King’s work…The Silent End is an exceptionally well-written horror novel.”—C.T. Phipps, The United Federation of Charles (9.5 out of 10 stars)“The Silent End is a tale perfect for Halloween and geeks…an outstandingly fun read.”—James Floyd Kelly, GeekDad“Samuel Sattin’s The Silent End is smart yet accessible, creepy and hilarious, a vividly told novel both teens and adults will enjoy.”—David Gutowski, Largehearted Boy“Entertaining…A very imaginative horror story for all ages.”—Frank Michaels Errington, Cemetery Dance Online

    Lansdale puts a new spin on an old classic with this four-part adaptation of master storyteller Robert E. Howard's classic tale of terror _Pigeons from Hell_. Set in the deep south, _Pigeons_ tells the story of a damned house with a wicked past whose vile form casts a shadow of death on all who dare to enter. At dusk, as the sun slumps below the horizon, scores of pigeons can be seen flocking from the house in waning sunlight. The pigeons, they say, are the souls of the damned escaping from the very bowels of hell itself. Joe R. Lansdale (author of such works as _Bubba Ho-Tep_, _The Nightrunners_, and _The Drive-In_) is no stranger to comics, having worked on _Batman_, _The Lone Ranger_, _Jonah Hex_, and Robert E. Howard's _Conan_. He is joined by comics newcomer Nathan Fox. Together Lansdale and Fox are a powerhouse of visual storytelling, perfectly suited for the dark and dismal world of Robert E. Howard's horror classic _Pigeons from Hell_. **Legendary horror aficionado Joe R. Lansdale puts a new spin on an old classic!**

    They were abridgements, so shorter versions, of Gothic novels which made them very cheap. These tiny tales of terror were often set in dark castles, cursed abbeys, and haunted houses. This year’s collection is called the Cursed Edition because many of the places featured hold an imprint of something terrible that happened. Many also feature cursed buildings, houses - and people. Some people use the word ‘curse’ jokingly, but some religions, beliefs and cultures do believe that objects, places, and people can become overwhelmed by misfortune. It’s often thought that people can place curses on others, or on objects with the hope that harm and hurt will be inflicted. Whether or not you believe in curses there are those that not only believe in them but believe they can place them – so beware. In this collection you will find haunted and cursed hotels, an old woman who enjoys to knit quietly – keeping her dark secret guarded. There is a meeting with Robert the Doll – believe created with Voodoo, and of course there is a meeting with our dear friend Death. We hope that you enjoy this, our fifth Gothic Blue Book – The Cursed Edition featuring fiction by Maria Alexander and poetry Stephanie M. Wytovich.
