Books, Books, and More Books!

As Hannibal from The A-Team famously said, ‘I love it when a plan comes together!’. In our case, we love it when some books come together and this week saw the completion of a number of titles.

A few days ago we released the digital version of the fourth issue of Cauldron of Chaos, featuring short stories, artwork, interviews, book and movie reviews, artist features, and giveaways. Sadly, the cover artist, Gary Becks, passed away before we could go to print so we have included a special memorial piece in his honour. Available digitally exclusive to Godless here. Print versions of all four issues can be found on Amazon… Issue One, Issue Two, Issue Three, Issue Four.

Arriving on Kindles a day ahead of release, R is for Revenge, book 18 in the A-Z of Horror series, is OUT NOW! Paperback will be available from tomorrow.

R is for Revenge is the eighteenth book in an epic series of twenty-six horror anthologies. Between these pages you will find a collection of thirteen shocking tales from some of the greatest independent horror authors writing today. From avenging spirits to nature’s wrath, abused youths to jilted lovers, R is for Revenge brings a brutal and heartbreaking selection of horror tales that will satisfy the human desire for vengeance.

And for something a little different, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming release from Chisto Healy, 196 Days Later (in dog years). Aimed at teens and young adults upwards, this is a unique twist on the zombie genre you won’t want to miss. Available to pre-order now for Kindle and other readers.

Life on the streets is tough but it’s going to get a whole lot harder very soon. When Sam, Rory, Daisy, and Gina, a motley bunch of stray dogs, attempt to rescue Rose from an animal testing centre, they inadvertently unleash a new virus into the world. Facing new threats from the now rabid humans, as well as the changes which Rose has undergone, the group must rely upon each other in order to survive. Food is scarce, danger lies around every corner, nobody can be trusted. 196 Days Later is a unique take on the zombie genre, filled with courage, adventure, love and horror.
Suitable for ages 13+

I enjoyed reading this collection of short stories. Can you imagine driving to your death after riding with a hitchhiker? A child goes out to play and is never seen again. Spirits who torment the living and spirits who are enticing. Each story is well written and gives graphic descriptions of haunted places and the wraiths. 5 STARS
