Ahead of the release and online book launch of their new anthology, B is for Beasts, The Horror Club speaks to Peter and Leanne Blakey-Novis, publishers of Red Cape Publishing, about the book, its launch, horror in general, among other things. Have a read below:
Tell me about your A-Z of Horror series? Why did you decide to do it? Were there any difficulties?
Peter: At the end of 2019 we launched a four-part series of anthologies (The Elements of Horror) which were really well received. We were coming up with various ideas for a small series to release in 2020 but we wanted to cover so many sub-genres that the entire alphabet seemed to fit better!
Leanne: It was quite difficult to come up with categories for each letter. For some letters we couldn’t decide between options, such as Vampires, Viruses, Voodoo, and for some letters it was hard…

Firstly, we’re rather impressed with ourselves for keeping these fortnightly posts on time! These last couple of weeks have all been focused on the A-Z of Horror series and building up momentum ahead of the release of B is for Beasts, which came out today!
We’ve received some great reviews for this book already on both Goodreads and Kendall Reviews.
“The second release in Red Cape Publishing’s “A-Z of Horror” anthology series is all about Beasts. And these aren’t your run of the mill horror beasts you might expect. Each of the thirteen shorts in this collection present unique creatures which are sure to get under your skin.
In these pages, you’ll find snake-people, giant moths, hungry creatures of the woods, a deal on a cottage which is too good to be true, and even a kaiju monster! I’ve always loved monster stories – whether the beasts are legends or supersized versions of creatures we see every day – so I had high expectations for this book and am happy to say I did not leave disappointed. The variety of beasts presented kept this anthology fresh from start to finish, and there wasn’t even one story where I felt the creature of terror was a done to death idea.”
We will be hosting an online launch this evening via Facebook and you can join in the competitions and giveaways here
In other news, we have added new interviews and reviews to this website as well as a Press Room for press releases (ours and those of other authors). It’s worth keeping an eye on that page for news of upcoming releases, and if you have a book coming soon that you’d like included in the Press Room just drop us an email at redcapepublishing@outlook.com
I love anthologies. There is something very satisfying about being able to dip in and out when each story in only quite short. Morning coffee break, soak in the bath. Eating my lunch in the garden. Bus ride to town (if we can ever actually do that again).
It is the reason why I always have an antho on my Kindle that I can access at any time.
C is for Cannibals from Red Cape Publishing was always going to tick many boxes for me. Whilst some might be put off by the Warning! Graphic content!, that kind of thing just makes me rub my hand together in glee!!! If it is sick and twisted I am all over it. Bring on the fucked-up gore level. I loved Hannibal, cannibals don’t phase me.
So the first story I decided to dip in and read (oh yes, I don’t necessarily…

Welcome to the first post in my ‘Small Press Spotlight’ series where, each post, a different independent publisher will be interviewed. Please spread the word and help our smaller publishers thrive.
Peter talks about what goes into the day to day running of an independent publisher, how Red Cape Publishing goes about finding its authors, the ‘book to audiobook process’ and much more.
I hope everyone enjoys reading about Red Cape as much as I did and that this post might steer you their way next time you have that urge for something creepy. There’s certainly a wide variety on offer, something to please every type of horror reader.
There’s a couple that have caught my eye and I’ll be purchasing a few e-books in the coming days, so look for my reviews on some of these gems in the coming weeks.
