    Doghouse

    Enter Moodley… if you dare.

    From acclaimed horror writer Christian Francis comes a razor-sharp, blood-soaked novelization of the cult horror-comedy Doghouse — the film that turned the zombie genre on its head.

    When a group of mates heads to the remote village of Moodley to help their recently-divorced friend blow off steam, they expect beers, banter, and maybe a bit of peace. What they find instead is a town abandoned… except for its new inhabitants: bloodthirsty, mutated women with one goal: total male annihilation.

    Explosive, outrageous, and darkly funny, Doghouse takes a chainsaw to gender tropes and never lets up. Francis digs deeper into the madness, giving readers brutal action, wicked satire, and brand-new scenes not seen in the film.

    Perfect for fans of Shaun of the Dead, The Evil Dead, and dark British humor, Doghouse is a must-read for horror aficionados and cult film lovers alike!

  • Beneath Perfection

    Beneath Perfection

    In the desolate Nevada desert lies the tiny town of Perfection. Population: 14. Life moves slowly in this forgotten speck on the map, until handyman duo Val McKee and Earl Bassett decide they’ve had enough of the dead-end town and hit the road. But before they can escape, they discover a grisly series of deaths… and something strange lurking underground.

    As mysterious tremors shake the earth and people start disappearing, Val and Earl uncover the terrifying truth: giant, carnivorous worm-like creatures are tunneling beneath the surface, hunting anything that moves. Cut off from the outside world, the residents of Perfection must band together to outwit the relentless monsters, now dubbed “Graboids,” using only their wits, limited resources, and an unhealthy amount of dynamite.

    Fast-paced, suspenseful, and darkly funny, Beneath Perfection brings new depth to the cult horror-comedy classic, delivering thrills and laughs while exploring the resilience of a community under siege… right beneath their feet.

  • In The Mouth of Madness

    In The Mouth of Madness

    Sutter Cane’s Most Anticipated Novel Has Arrived

    In the Mouth of Madness is the long-lost novel fans have been waiting for.

    Readers of his earlier books (The Hobbs End Horror, The Thing in the Basement, The Breathing Tunnel, and The Whisperer of the Dark) will recognize his signature blend of psychological terror and cosmic dread.

    Sutter Cane has always been a figure shrouded in mystery. Critics have called his writing “dangerously immersive” and “deeply infectious.” Although sales records are incomplete or missing, many believe he has outsold every living author.

    The story follows John Trent, an insurance investigator assigned to find Sutter Cane after his sudden disappearance. What begins as a simple missing person case soon spirals into a nightmare. Trent learns that Cane’s fiction doesn’t just reflect reality — it may shape it.

    This fall… will you read Sutter Cane?

    ‘QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST YA BOOK I HAVE EVER READ, NO… IT DEFINITELY IS! This book was so beautifully crafted, and visually descriptive that I felt as if I was IN Cromwell Woods myself. I’m a horror fan, but Christian has a way of crafting a story like no other author, and in my opinion, his storytelling abilities rival that of Stephen King.’

    David W Adams – Author of The Dark Corner Literary Universe

    ‘This is a YA novel and packs a punch. First off the cover grabbed me right away and the contents within lived up to the hype. The characters were all so well written and you come to care for each one. The story itself was very well written and brought on some scenes that are very memorable. The visuals in the mind movie were depicted as well as any movie on a screen. I will say some parts made me sad where others kept me glued and turning the pages with lightning speed. And that ending…score.’

    Sugar C – Goodreads

    ‘A quick, scary read with some great characters, a town on the edge of a spooky wood, and missing people who are soon forgotten by the town’s residents. What is going on, and how will a group of teens convince the adults to take them seriously? With a few unexpected turns, this story will keep you gripped until the end! Highly recommend.’
