The Great Northern Sweet Water Raid
by Gene O’Neill

In the latest tale from the acclaimed Cal Wild mythos, the San Jo Kid is released by The Company after serving nearly three years frozen and lifeless for smuggling. He soon learns that his freedom will come with some strings…

After being reunited with his enhanced animal companions--the crazy mastiff, All-American boy and the talking steed, Crazy Horse--Kid assembles a motley team of outlaw specialists to pull the biggest heist of his career. In the tradition of great westerns, Jo and his team will make what may prove to be a final stand as the mystery of the Great Northern Sweet Water Raid is revealed.

Brood XIX
by Michael McBride

Two years after the disappearance of her young daughter, Vanessa is living a solitary, hollow life. Refusing to accept that her child is gone, she lives alone, an enshrined mud teddy bear—the last thing given to her by her daughter—serving as a constant reminder of her loss.

The discovery of the remains of a young girl in a local swamp seems to bring the search to a tragic end. But hope can be found in the strangest of places… When the teddy bear suddenly erupts with insect life after years of dormancy, Vanessa sees it as a sign. With help from her deputy brother, she will discover the secret behind her daughter’s disappearance …and Brood XIX.

Crowley’s Window
by Gord Rollo

Abby Hawkins was never normal. Born with a birth cowl—a rare birth defect thought to predict psychic abilities—she is haunted by horrible visions. Shortly after her 13th birthday, Abby’s parents call in the mysterious Crowley to help their daughter. His interventions rid her of the visions…and her eyes.

Now a beautiful young lady, Abby Hawkins works as a fortune teller in a traveling Carnival. When, she receives a powerful vision—one depicting the abduction of a little girl, she becomes the sole witness to the crime. Only a young police officer believes her bizarre story, and with his help she embarks upon an investigation that will ultimately reunite her with ghost from her past and bring her to the hellish threshold of Crowley’s Window.

SECRETS
by
J.F. Gonzalez

Book Three in the Lettered Series

From J.F. Gonzalez, author of FETISH, SURVIVOR, and THE BELOVED, comes a locked-room tale of deceit, perversity, and murder.

HALF-SICK OF SHADOWS
by
Graham Masterton

From one of horror fiction’s true masters comes a trio of tales inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s classic poem, "The Lady of Shalott". The book features three stories–including an original written for the collection–printed together for the first time and heavily illustrated throughout.

Camelot

When his eccentric and beloved wife is "Mirrorized" and absorbed into another world beyond the mirror’s glass, a devoted husband races to free her. To do so, he must unravel the mystery of Shalott in this erotic, surreal update on the legend.

Reflection of Evil

While investigating a construction site, a trio of historical surveyors stumble upon the ruins of the fabled Shalott. When they decide to pilfer the famed mirror from the site, they soon discover the horrible truth behind the enduring myth of the doomed lady.

Half-Sick of Shadows

An architectural writer living in a large New York apartment block spends his evenings watching his neighbors' lives unfold. When a beautiful woman moves into the apartment directly opposite–one who spends each night admiring her nude body in a full-length mirror– he soon becomes infatuated. He decides that he will stop being a voyeur and confront her in person, but sometimes it’s better to admire from afar.

Book is 5 x 8 with 12 full-page illustrations and color frontispiece.

DIFFERENT SEASONS
by
Trever Palmer

Such a perfect place to live....
 
The residents of the idyllic little mountain town of Pikes Field, Kentucky love their church bingo and fear the hand of God. Everyone knows everyone, and serious crimes are unheard of.
 
By the light of the first full moon, the terror begins….
 
January

The first victim is a young man working his way through college.  The last bits of his corpse are surrounded by wolf tracks.
 
February
 
A rejected woman reaches her final orgasm with the help of a creature that God didn’t spawn.
 
Now, as each full moon rises, so does the body count. A killer stalks the once-safe streets of Pike’s Field, and it’s up to the local sheriff to stop him.

A werewolf has come to town, and its blood lust will not be sated.
 
Sideshow Press—publisher of Black Ink Horror—is pleased to announce the first release from our new novella line. Trever Palmer’s Different Seasons is a gore-drenched, erotically-charged homage to werewolf fiction and horror cinema ripe with pitch-black wit non-stop horror carnage.  Each edition is lavishly illustrated with full-page art.
