Jeneva Rose steps away from thriller twists for Sometimes I Scare Myself, her first horror short story collection built from three dread soaked novellas. Ginger Nuts of Horror talks to her about Never Kill the Medium, The Nightmare House, All Curses Are Final, and why postpartum horror turned out to be the perfect ground for stories with no reckoning at the end.
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.
CC Adams returns with Where the Roaches Are, a horror short story collection set in a hospital where the real damage is social rather than supernatural. Echoes of Nigel Kneale, Mark Morris and Roald Dahl run through a book built to disquiet rather than terrify. Read the stories in the order Adams gives you, because the order is doing work.
