DUSK DEFENDS THE LIGHT FROM THE DARK. SOMETIMES... Life is nothing if not constant change. And these changes force us to make terrifying choices that will lead us into either the light or the dark. Dusk is this tipping point, where things go well, or where they go very, very bad. Suspended in Dusk II continues the legacy of editor Simon Dewar's anthology series. Volume II includes the disturbing work of seventeen extremely diverse voices from the horror and speculative fiction genres. -- Teenage boys navigate the Dark Web where diabolical games of life and death await...-- A woman stalked by shadows gets answers she doesn't want to hear...-- Ghost hunters commune with malevolent spirits seeking vengeance on the living...-- A family confronts a Maori legend that's less myth and far more terrifying truth...-- A young man explores a love that continues to gnaw long after it's gone...-- A group of adults encounter childhood fears that will not die...-- And so much more. Suspended in Dusk II is introduced by Angela Slatter and includes fiction from Ramsey Campbell, Stephen Graham Jones, Bracken MacLeod, Damien Angelica Walters, Alan Baxter, Paul Tremblay, Sarah Read, Christopher Golden, Nerine Dorman, Dan Rabarts, Gwendolyn Kiste, Benjamin Knox, Annie Neugebauer, J.C. Michael, Letitia Trent, Paul Michael Anderson and Karen Runge. Confront your change. But you must first survive dusk. Praise for Suspended in Dusk II: "Simon Dewar's second installment of the series really delivers. This collection has thrown together a multitude of quality writing that begs to be read. There is darkness in the margins of each page, smudges of black ink threatening to swallow the reader when they aren't expecting," - Brian Bogart, Kendall Reviews "Suspended in Dusk II grabs you by the throat from the very first story and does not let go. I honestly can't overstate how good this anthology was. There are some very heavy topics in the stories but...not a single one is played merely for shock value or cheap emotion." - Gracie Kat, Sci-Fi & Scary "I appreciated the large amount of diversity in this book; from the foreword it became clear that individuals of all shapes of life were given the chance to contribute, and I feel that's largely absent in anthologies these days." - Red Lace Reviews Proudly presented by Grey Matter Press, the multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated independent publisher. Grey Matter Press: Where Dark Thoughts Thrive

EXPOSE THE DARKEST OF SECRETS AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLDStart with an isolated island in the rainswept North Atlantic, add an enigmatic community of hostile inhabitants, throw in the body of a fugitive found dead by mysterious causes, combine with an ages-old supernatural curse that has lethal implications, and garnish with a secret so horrifying it is best left unspoken, and you've got the recipe for the dark feast that is The Isle.A deadly menace threatens a remote island community and every man, woman and child is in peril. Sent to the isle to collect the remains of a dead fugitive, US Marshal Virgil Bone is trapped by the forces of nature and the will of man.As the body count rises the community unravels, and Bone is thrust into the role of investigator. Aided by a local woman and the town pariah, he uncovers the island's macabre past and its horrifying connection to the killings.Some curses are best believed.Sometimes the past is best left buried.And some will kill to keep it so.Praise for The Isle"With The Isle, John Foster makes a twenty-first century contribution to the tradition of the New England Gothic, taking his lawman protagonist off the coast of the mainland United States to visit a small island in the North Atlantic whose inhabitants might have settled there from one of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Puritan fantasies. Himself riven by guilt over past misdeeds, U.S. Marshall Bone encounters a community on whom the sins of their ancestors continue to exert a very terrible and a very real force. Fast-moving, gripping, it's a tale straight from Old Man Atlantic's barnacled treasure chest." - John Langan, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Fisherman"Brooding and claustrophobic, one hell of a scary ride. You won't soon forget your visit to The Isle." - Tom Deady, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Haven"Dripping with claustrophobic malice, crawling with dread and otherness, The Isle is a journey into places best left alone. A chilling, disturbing, compelling tale." - Alan Baxter, award-winning author of Devouring Dark and Manifest Recall"John Foster masterfully weaves New England folk horror into a hard-boiled murder mystery to form a wholly original and gripping novel that will keep you guessing as the dread builds like a tide rolling over the rocky shore. Strange rituals, hidden histories, and dangerous paranoia intersect on The Isle in ways that turn northeastern peculiarity into something uniquely horrific and thoroughly engrossing to read." - Ed Kurtz, author of The Rib from Which I Remake the World and Nausea"If you're the kind of person who seeks out hidden places with awful histories, then this book is for you. You'll feel the damp and the chill, you'll hear the shrieks and the inhuman mutter, you'll see those children and their awful games. Read it in a safe place." - Karen Heuler, author of The Inner CityProudly presented by Grey Matter Press, the multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated independent publisher.Grey Matter Press: Where Dark Thoughts Thrive
