The New York Times calls GHOST STATION from S.A. Barnes “space horror at its best”

“Relentlessly creepy and fantastically atmospheric, S.A. Barnes’s GHOST STATION shows that no matter where humans go, our brains can be our worst enemy. No matter what she’s showing, Barnes makes the reader feel as if doom is just around the corner, and that constant tension makes it hard to put this book down.”
The New York Times


Available now from Nightfire


The adult debut from Julie C. Dao, critically acclaimed author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns, will release from Podium in October!

Dracula’s Lucy Westenra like you’ve never seen her: “This dark and sexy Gothic romance is the first book in a duology that retells Bram Stoker’s Dracula, featuring a beautiful Lucy with Vietnamese heritage and other BIPOC cast (a Chinese-Dutch Dr. Van Helsing! A Black American cowboy Quincey Morris!). Think trailing dresses, carriages on cobblestone streets, longing and lamplight, hands meeting in the shadows, dark dreams blooming in the silvery mist. It is passionate, bloody, ferocious, and full of yearning, and it is my favorite thing that I have ever written.”—Julie C. Dao
