Congrats to @natcassidy.bsky.social, @toddkeisling.com, @pfracassi.bsky.social, and @patrickbarb.bsky.social, whose titles were all named a 2025 Ingram Horror Editorial Selection today!
On a year-end list with only 23 titles, we published 4 of those titles. It's been a good year for indie horror!

It is with a saddened heart that I have decided to withdraw from attending Books by the Banks in Cincinnati this weekend (11/16).
Given how sketchy traveling across the country is right now, I can't risk another weekend of delays or cancellations for one day at a festival.
