History leaves shadows—and sometimes, the monsters follow.

In The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Stephen Graham Jones unearths a chilling horror set on the Blackfeet reservation in 1912, where a Lutheran pastor’s rediscovered diary reveals the slow, haunting testimony of a man named Good Stab—a Blackfeet vampire whose search for justice is entangled in a history of massacre and memory. Through transcribed confessions, Jones crafts a powerful and unsettling American Indian revenge tale told with his signature mastery of horror.

Nicholas Pullen’s The Black Hunger follows John Sackville, a man awaiting death in his prison cell, haunted by the memory of a forbidden love and the monstrous hunger devouring him from within. As he pens his final testament, his story spirals through centuries and across continents—from ancient Scottish stone circles to the frozen wilderness of Mongolia—unearthing an ancient evil in a gothic tale of obsession, grief, and the price of immortality.
