Amazing movie. It’s so insane that it’s easily one of my favorites from the franchise.

Vincent Price in House of Wax saying, "I'm going to give the people what they want: sensation, horror, shock."

Saturday morning cartoons are great, but Saturday morning *books* may be even better. Especially if they’re about mummies, like our latest horror anthology is. And it’s ready for immediate download. www.cateyepress.com/store/p/mm-e...

Modern Mummies: A Horror Anthology (eBook) — Cat Eye Press LLC

They’ve been dead for centuries, but all that changes right now. Mummies are front-and-center in the second anthology from Cat Eye Press. But these aren’t typical mummy horror stories from centuries ...

Anyone looking for some food horror inspiration?

Or maybe just a whole bunch of cracked teeth? 🥴

Surreal digital painting of a slice of thick cherry pie, dripping thick ropes of cherry juice. It also resembles a wolf skull, with gleaming teeth around the fruit area as a slightly open jaw filled with cherries.

Okay, I know I’m supposed to be reading House of Leaves but I took a break and read The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica. Just popping in to say I highly recommend it. Also, Tender is the Flesh!

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

It's Prime Day... so please consider buying your books direct from (ideally indie) bookstores and publishers today, instead of from the Big River that's gouging us all into penury

We'd love you to grab one of our books, from our estore or as a signed paperback

But really: any indie is good :)

BREAKING NEWS: they cracked the code and deciphered what this mummy had to say. Unsurprising (to us) it said: “READ MODERN MUMMIES!”
