Where the Silent Ones Watch
William Hope Hodgson’s writing life spanned fourteen years,during which he published novels and stories of the adventurous, the fantastic, and the horrific. Best known, perhaps, for his novel The House on the Borderland, Hodgson wrote several other landmark weird works, including The Boats of the “Glen Carrig,” The Ghost Pirates, and The Night Land, as well as dozens of short stories. He explored places in the ocean where realities overlapped, described the horrors of a house built beside a gap between dimensions, and transported readers to a desolate future, where abhuman monstrosities prowl. He displayed imaginative visions of staggering scope unlike any others in literature.
In this anthology, twenty-seven authors and poets visit Hodgson’s worlds and concepts to dig deep into his mythologies and delve into fresh mysteries in unexpected times, locations, and interpretations. Whether or not you’ve read Hodgson’s works, these visions of Hodgsonian horror will lead you into strange, liminal, and frightening new landscapes of the weird and fantastic.

Discontinue if Death Ensues: Tales From the Tipping Point
Edited by Carol Gyzander and Anna Taborska
Authors: Carol Gyzander, Lee Murray, Cindy O'Quinn, Anna Taborska, Kyla Lee Ward
The five authors were fellow nominees for the Bram Stoker Award® for Superior Achievement in a Short Story in 2021--the first time in HWA history that all the nominees in a category were women! They became friends during the process and discovered they shared a similar approach to writing women's stories.
The authors, from countries all around the world, decided to write an anthology of stories revealing what happens when the abuse of the environment and of women reaches a tipping point: changes and mutations occur, with a subtle shift in the power dynamic.
Fifteen horror stories and five poems about women and written by women.
