The Gothic Puzzle Box, A Conversation with Ande Pliego

What Pliego builds in The Library After Dark is less a locked-room mystery and more a labyrinth where the architecture itself remembers, each corridor a mirror reflecting the protagonist’s buried history and the lies she has told herself to survive.

The Demoness Review (2025): Indie Horror‘s Strangest Succubus

Andrew de Burgh‘s The Demoness is an indie horror oddity that blends supernatural dark comedy with eighties slasher charm.

S.A. Barnes Interview: From Space Horror to Dark Academia Romantasy

Claustrophobic space stations. Corporate corruption bleeding into deep space. A doomed luxury cruiser lost for decades, its halls still wet. S.A. Barnes built a devoted readership on sci-fi horror that traps you in the dark with nowhere to run.

Now she’s swapped the wreckage for a dusty university library. But don’t mistake the change of clothes for a change of temper.

Ande Pliego’s The Library After Dark Review: Locked Room Horror Done Right

Ande Pliego builds a locked room out of childhood fears, fairy-tale shadows, and the toxic residue of preserved secrets. The Daedalus Library will hold you hostage. The prose moves like a faulty elevator. You will not escape unchanged. This is how you face the thing that terrified you first.
