A group of teenage friends thinks it's a good idea to hang around in a graveyard, while a young thief gets more than he bargained for when he breaks into a local property. We’re given a first-hand account of struggles in the aftermath of a post-apocalyptic event and the reminiscences of a musician with a very unusual talent. A woman wakes with no memory of who or where she is… and also no pulse, then we’re flung through space to a planet where a grave discovery is made—one which has deadly repercussions… Ladies and gentlemen, these are the Zombies!, a collection of stories by award-winning and #1 bestselling author Paul Kane (Hooded Man, Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, Before, Arcana, The Storm), including a brand new short novel, one of his popular Dalton Quayle novelettes, and a steampunk poem. With an introduction by award-winning and bestselling author Brian Keene (The Rising, City of the Dead) and cover art by Dominic Harman (The Hellbound Heart, Cabal), this is one book that simply refuses to lay down and die!
Cover Reveal!
The premier release from Midnight Machinations, our mystery/thriller imprint, will be released this summer. Keep an eye out for Walking Shadow by Mickey Lewis.
A killer is targeting TV and Film extras on various productions throughout the South West of England. The murderer leaves a macabre marker at each scene of crime — a VHS video nasty, while the murders themselves mimic the killings depicted in the tapes. While the police are drawn into both the seedy world of nasties and the hierarchical system that thrives in the film industry, the killer remains one step ahead. It’s an A-Z kill list, and the cops are on a race to stop the slayings before the murderer can chop their way through the 39 titles on the banned files, from Absurd to Zombie Flesh Eaters...
Book Highlight
Nightmarishly good!!
“I went into this one blind and I came out pleasantly surprised! A truly original story that takes on several themes. Parts of it feel like a thriller or true crime fiction but it takes a sharp turn and you see where the horror comes in! The characters are well-written and the story was extremely well-paced! My favorite parts were when the story dives into the occult and some of the nightmarish imagery left me shook! This was my first book by Salkovic but it certainly won’t be my last! I highly recommend this book!”
—Joshua Marsella, author of Scratches and Severed, Amazon Review
Gorgeous prose for terrifying events!
“…His writing blew me away, particularly for a first novel. The book is absolutely beautifully written with Salkovic turning a particularly thoughtful phrase here and there and bringing his book to visceral life. It's a mind-trippy, head-mess of a horror tale that defies description. At times evocative of Stephen King's down-home tales of evil, it can turn on a dime and toss the reader uncertainly into an acid trip of horror. For horror readers who particularly like the surreal side of the genre, this book is highly recommended.”

Help her open the door. It wants to come through…
First, the dream. Now this message from the mouth of a stranger. It was too much of a coincidence for Nate Carver, and has him dropping everything to help a woman he hasn't even thought about in eight years, not since the overdose that almost took Cathy Deveraux's life.
The prison escape of Thomas Elbert stirs up memories for Detective Alec Palmer, and the man's death raises questions. Why would a catatonic convicted killer suddenly wake up and escape, only to commit suicide days later? Or was it murder? And what connection did he have to Nate Carver, a man on the run with a daughter he never knew he had?
All roads lead to Boston, where, in their search for answers, they will be drawn into the dark world of the occult and mysticism. Of parallel worlds and alternate realities. Of doors that open onto other times and other worlds. Of dreams that won’t be denied.
By the time they realize they are merely pawns in a much bigger game, a game where the fate of the world is at stake, will it be too late?
