Those Who Live Long Forgotten
Edited by Ben Kasson and James Bojaciuk

Myths never die.
They cough away into obscurity, and settle into the comfortable spot just beyond our vision.
You would never believe the little girl with the too-big smile is the queen of vampires, no, no. Nor would you believe that the two semi-homeless women who list around New York in time with the tide are the remains of the two great monsters, out for revenge. You certainly wouldn’t believe the master detective spent his final days in a cramped, black-ops prison.
No, you wouldn’t believe a word of it.
Featuring all new stories by Ro McNulty, James Bojaciuk, Gabrielle Friesen, and Pedro Iniguez, as well as a glimmerglass flash by Nick Wisseman and a selection of classic myths and stories which inspired the present authors.

Ro McNulty
Cover by Jason Behnke
“It was like something from the fringe of a bad dream, fraying the edges of the waking world and leering in.”
Do you hear it?
The scraping footstep up the stair…
Do you see it?
The shadow on the wall, large and human until you glance above the neck…
Wolton Scarp is a ghost of a town, rotted by industrial chance, and its sins are scraping ever closer. In the center of this destruction are the Dyers, a family rotted outwardly by the destruction of their town and inwardly by the force that toys with their memories and pasts. Leon Dyer never remembers the same thing twice; Ryan Dyer is desperate to escape, to find his mum; Carla, Leon’s girlfriend, is hounded through her sleep by strange visions and crescent bruises.
As the otherworldly increasingly enters their lives, they begin to plot their escapes.
But guilt never lets go that easily…
In this ambitious and electrifying debut novel, Ro McNulty emerges as the heir apparent to the throne of British Horror–taking his bows from M.R. James, J. Sheridan Le Fanu, & Arthur Machen. McNulty guides us from modern village to long-past town, down roads to rough neighborhoods and up into the city, every step hounded by the monstrous march of hoofbeats.
The Horror Crossover Encyclopedia
Robert Wronski Jr.
Cover by Axel Medellin
Remember when Abbott and Costello met Frankenstein, or when Freddy met Jason? Remember when all the monsters met for a mad, mad party, or when Scooby Doo met Mr. Hyde? Remember when Hellboy punched out a Great Old One or Sherlock Holmes staked Dracula?
This book is dedicated to chronicling these stories: recording the myriad easter-eggs and hints that tie together modern horror and prove the universe to be nothing more than a thing of fright. The Horror Crossover Encyclopedia is a reference guide of fictional crossovers within the horror genre, using a “six degrees” methodology.

Hannah Lackoff
The world is a museum of fragile, curious things. In this collection of eighteen of her very best stories, Hannah Lackoff takes us on a guided tour of the marvelous: a ranch which held out, for years, believing the apocalypse had consumed the world (and the man who discovered them); twin sisters inseparable by eye or death; the life of a queen and the many lives of a mirror, mirror on the wall; wrong numbers on restaurant wall and a small cabin in the woods, near your home, where the dead never dare to stay dead.
Hannah Lackoff, like so many great authors before her, settles in with the bones of old stories, clichéd tales, and urban legends and builds them into her exhibits. They are alive again, and demand your attention.
Step into her museum, won’t you? We promise they don’t bite…
