Lullabies for the Lost by Mia Dalia, Review
Mia Dalia’s Lullabies for the Lost brings musical horror to the Black Shuck Shadows list, with four short bursts leading into the novella Discordant. The shorts remix familiar devil child and cosmic horror ideas, while the novella channels Don DeLillo by way of Faust. A fun horror short story collection, though the novella is already sold on its own.
American Nightmare by Kelly McWilliams: Historical Horror of 1919 and the NAACP Spy Who Passed for White
Kelly McWilliams makes her adult debut with a historical horror novel about a white-passing NAACP spy investigating lynchings during the Red Summer of 1919.

Feed Review: Marco van Belle’s, Dearg Due Vampire Never Quite Bites
Marco van Belle’s Feed finally puts the Dearg Due, Ireland’s first vampire, on screen in a handsome indie horror.

Lionhearts by Dan Howarth Review: Horror With an Axe to Grind
Dan Howarth follows Last Night of Freedom with Lionhearts, a political horror novel about grief curdling into hate somewhere Northern and thoroughly let down. Our Lionhearts book review looks at Henry Oswald, the staccato prose, and an ending that turns a depressed landscape florid, charged and brutal. Bring paracetamol.
Hellcat Film Review: Brock Bodell Traps You in an Airstream
Brock Bodell’s Hellcat straps Dakota Gorman into a moving Airstream and lets Todd Terry talk at her for 91 minutes. Hope Madden reviews a single location horror thriller that mines its premise well before the third act gets contrived. Lean, mean and effective, hokey practical FX and all.
Blacktail by Scott Hawkins Review: A Wolf, a Sleeping God and the End of Human Exceptionalism
Scott Hawkins ends an eleven year wait with Blacktail, a folk horror revenge novel told entirely by animals, in which a grieving half-breed wolf sets out to wake a sleeping Forest God and finish off the human race. Our review looks at the language of the Hunt, the squirrel death cult of Car, and why this eco-horror odyssey earns every one of its five stars.
