This is not your cookie-cutter horror collection. Stephen Graham Jones has taken nightmarish visions from his fevered imagination and crafted them into pieces of literary genius. If the absolute fear doesn't sweep you away, his lyrical and haunting prose will. As Joe R. Lansdale states in the introduction, "You need this book. If you like anything close to horror, and also like your stories to have elements other than just standing in the darkness with a bloody knife, you have the right book. Enjoy."

Does holding your breath for two minutes during the scariest part of a horror movie invite the terror in? Just ask the kids who go to the local theater in "Thirteen." In "Doc's Story," even the most beloved family tales have teeth—that's what happens when you're born into a werewolf pack. And a father doesn't have to think twice when he's given one chance to make the ultimate sacrifice in "Snow Monsters."

In these fifteen stories, Jones coaxes our greatest fears from the shadowy corners of our minds, and we can't turn away.

"With razor-sharp prose . . . he pummels us in a full-court press of discomfort, paranoia, and a desire to keep the lights on." —Pantheon Magazine

"Jones is a true master of the horror short story. Inventive, quirky, unexpected and masterful." —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times–bestselling author

To the rest of the world, a random tsunami is but one disaster among other events to speculate over. Unbeknownst to most of the world, the disaster is but a single ripple caused by a clandestine experiment in the South Pacific. For one newly arranged rescue team, their mission to rescue researchers will lead them to confront terrors mankind was never intended to meet, and unravel an enigma that may be the extinction of life as humanity knows it.

Buy A Fold to Extinction and uncover the events that will change our world forever.

Ghostly Performances at the Crescent Theater!

Prepare for an encore of terror! The Gulf Coast Paranormal Team faces their most dramatic haunting yet.

Rookie investigator Cassidy's psychic visions are a powerful gift, but when her paintings accidentally rip open a portal to the past, she unleashes more than just forgotten memories. Ghosts clamor to be seen, to be remembered, and their desperate pleas echo through the veil.

Eager to prove herself to the seasoned Gulf Coast Paranormal crew – Midas, Sierra, and Joshua – Cassidy dives headfirst into the team's latest case: the notoriously haunted Crescent Theater. A century-old tragedy has left its chilling mark, threatening to close the theater's doors forever. But as they delve deeper into the theater's shadowed history, Cassidy's eagerness to fit in might just push the team into a supernatural spotlight they never anticipated.

Can the Gulf Coast Paranormal Team uncover the truth behind the Crescent's spectral residents before a new owner is forced to shutter the curtains on a performance that refuses to end?

A pulse-pounding, terrifying rollercoaster ride of a supernatural thriller—a remarkable debut novel from a blazing talent that will keep readers spellbound

Sooner or later, the dead catch up. . . .

Judas Coyne was a collector. The bizarre, the unusual, the grotesque: A cookbook for cannibals. A used hangman’s noose. A snuff film. Usually the objects were sent by the black-clad fans who made his metal band a legend and made him rich.

But this time, when his personal assistant told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude didn’t think twice. But he should have. Of all the ghosts around him—the abusive father, the battered, resentful child Jude once was, the bandmates he betrayed, Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and dumped—this new one means to haunt him all the way to hell.

His new acquisition—delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box—is Anna’s vengeful stepdaddy. Martin Craddock swears he’s going to settle up with Jude for ruining his daughter’s life. Craddock is everywhere: on the other side of the bedroom door; in Jude’s restored vintage Mustang; outside his window, on his television screen. In his hand , a gleaming razorblade swinging from a chain.

And now the jaded rock star who’s seen it all, done it all, has never been so afraid. . . .
