Book Description
"From her amazingly visceral opening of Let There Be Light to her final haunting echo in the book’s epilogue, Burnell’s voice jumps off the page, much like a microphone-wielding circus MC standing centre ring. [Usurper Kings is] a work of breathtakingly beautiful discovery." Kevin Hogan Sapha Burnell’s stellar poetry collection inspects the feminine through time. From act I’s genesis and the search for meaning within the hunter gatherer mindset, to the existential singularity of a transhumanist future, Usurper Kings is a mind bending cerebral and emotionally rebellious series of poems. Infinitely feminine, mighty and sometimes rebellious, the essence of Usurper Kings is the search to remember feminine might and discover the power to take it back.

Book Description
Engage in eldricht horror, monster terror and a forest of fright with short stories by the trio of We Aren’t Dead Yet. In Emily Armstrong’s debut tales, space truckers Lark and Mech think they've scored the payday of a lifetime when they agree to transport mysterious crates to a remote facility at the edge of the known cosmos. Veteran salvager Corven decides to make one last scrapping run when he boards a derelict starship deep in uncharted space, but he soon discovers the ghostly void-lost vessel is caught in a nightmare outside of time. KS Bishoff frightens with a malevolent demon tree hungering for souls, replacing its victims with eerie doppelgangers nurtured in the old gourd patch. As paranoia sweeps the community, fingers point at a lurking bogeyman. Tenya, burdened by mounting suspicions, races against time to unveil the truth hidden beneath the boughs of the sinister tree. Can she uncover the horrifying secret before the imposters usurp every last soul? Bestselling author Sapha Burnell hits as hard as a road flare and liquor bottle with The Lamia, and Whiskey and Sinners Blood, two bone chilling stories based in the mythpunk Judge of Mystics universe. Caleb Mauthisen runs magic-less and wounded through the streets of Vancouver from a terrifying Lamia, a woman cursed as a half snake, half human monster with a lust and hunger of the damned. Descend into madness with Carolee, the Fae Queen’s assassin in an origin story twice as twisted as the obsidian knives Carolee inflicts on the unworthy in the Judge of Mystics Saga. How did Carolee go from mother of one to murderer? Macabre and Monstrous: A Horror Anthology of Eldricht Space, Myth Monsters & Forest Frights is a science-fiction, fantasy and mythpunk collection of short fiction which will unsettle, frighten and terrify… then lead you through the darkest part of the night to early dawn.
