Almond-eyed celestial, the filial daughter, the perfect wife. Quiet, submissive, demure. In Black Cranes, Southeast Asian writers of horror both embrace and reject these traditional roles in a unique collection of stories which dissect their experiences of 'otherness, ' be it in the colour of their skin, the angle of their cheekbones, the things they dare to write, or the places they have made for themselves in the world. Black Cranes is a dark and intimate exploration of what it is to be a perpetual outsider. Praise for Black Cranes "A varied and fascinating collection of monsters, full of dazzling landscapes and writers to watch."-E. Lily Yu author On Fragile Waves "As haunting and versatile as the Chinese erhu, the stories in Black Cranes pluck and bow the strings of the Southeast Asian experience with insightful depth and resonance." -Tori Eldridge, author of the Lily Wong series "The preconceived notions of both the authors' identities and of the limitations of the horror genre itself will be smashed to pieces, to the delight of readers." -Library Journal "A bloody-toothed smile hidden behind the hand of propriety and social expectation."-Pseudopod "Resonates with bold originality throughout." -Space & Time Magazine "The beauty of this collection is in the diversity of the voices and the individuality and uniqueness of each story coming together in one book." -Tor Nightfire "Lyrical and haunting prose... This is dark, reflective fiction at its best." -Tomes and Tales

In Unquiet Spirits, Asian writers of horror reflect on the impact of superstition, spirits, and the supernatural in this unique collection of 21 personal essays exploring themes of otherness, identity, expectation, duty, and loss, and leading, ultimately, to understanding and empowerment.

The Evolution of Horror in the Twenty-First Century examines the intimate connections between the horror genre and its audience’s experience of being in the world at a particular historical and cultural moment. This book not only provides frameworks with which to understand contemporary horror, but it also speaks to the changes wrought by technological development in creation, production, and distribution, as well as the ways in which those who are traditionally underrepresented positively within the genre- women, LGBTQ+, indigenous, and BAME communities - are finally being seen and finding space to speak.

A horde of criminally good horror writers took a walk down the mean streets of crime. Their task: to make your blood run cold, to scare you witless and to make your skin crawl. The rising dread of a good mystery doesn't need anything supernatural to keep you on the edge of your seat. But put the two together - crime fiction and horror - and all sorts of nasty business can come out of the woodwork. Sometimes literally. The stories herein include urban monsters, outback ghosts, contemporary lawyers, near-future police, and Victorian era mathematicians. Our Damnation Games are played by 19 Aussie, Kiwi and international authors: Gemma Amor, Joanne Anderton, J. Ashley-Smith, Alan Baxter, Aaron Dries, Gemma Files, Geneve Flynn, Philip Fracassi, Robert Hood, Gabino Iglesias, Rick Kennett, Maria Lewis, Chris Mason, Lee Murray, Cina Pelayo, Dan Rabarts, John F.D. Taff, Kyla Lee Ward, Kaaron Warren.

“Well-conceived goals, when acted upon, can prevent you from getting distracted and wasting time on other less vital tasks. In short, they give you direction, and get you there faster.” In this chapbook, Lee Murray—the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of the Taine McKenna series and editor of Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women—lays out a systematic approach to establishing a vision and setting goals that help aspiring authors build sustainable and long-term careers. Drawing on the experience and techniques that guided her own rise as an author, Goal Setting (Literally) features Murray’s best advice for scoping out your creative career, setting goals you’ll actually hit, and charting your development as a writer. Most importantly, she asks two fundamental questions many writers ignore: what does success really look like for you, and how are you going to get there? Whether you’re a new writer planning a pathway to take your career to the next level, or a fan of Murray’s fiction searching for a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the way Murray built an extraordinary career, this chapbook is a peek into the mindset and philosophy of one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed writers of fantasy and horror.

The willow is femininity, desire, death. Rebirth. With its ability to grow from a single broken branch, it is the living embodiment of immortality. It is the yin that wards off malevolent spirits.

In Tortured Willows, four Southeast Asian women writers of horror expand on the exploration of otherness begun with the Bram Stoker Award-winning anthology Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women.Like the willow, women have bent and bowed under the expectations and duty heaped upon them. Like the willow, they endure and refuse to break.With exquisite poetry, Christina Sng, Angela Yuriko Smith, Lee Murray, and Geneve Flynn invite you to sit beneath the tortured willow's gravid branches and listen to the uneasy shiver of its leaves.

In this dimly lit world, among the scattered voices and meaningless chatter, Renata Pavrey’s whimsical collection invites us to glide through twilight in a park, to return from the letterbox with a much-awaited letter, to dance with fireflies, to savor the tang of orange zest, or run our fingers lovingly across the spines in a bookcase. Eunoia is a state of positivity which reflects a well balanced mind exhibiting goodwill and kindness. Engage, uplift, nurture, outshine, ignite, and astound – Eunoia is a celebration of the things we do. Pavrey offers a quotidian that is both familiar and surprising through verses that cover a range of topics from pets to plants, sports and food, and aim to bring attention to the things that light up our days, however trivial they might seem to others. The Japanese senryu and French villanelle, blank verse and acrostics, nestled alongside rhymed poetry, cinquain, limerick, ode, soliloquy, epistolary, tanka, and vers libre. Everyday topics addressed through classical verse.

The spirits of the dead exist, and they want to communicate.First appearing in the late 1800s, spiritualism became a religious movement that swept the nation. Under the assumption that the dead live on in the afterlife, spiritualists believed that contact with the dearly departed was not only possible, but something those who crossed over longed for. Contact was usually made through a medium, a person who claimed to have the ability to speak with the dead.There Is No Death, There Are No Dead tackles all aspects of the spiritualist movement: from the true believers to the nay-sayers, the hoaxes to hauntings, the real mediums to the scam artists. Includes new work from some of the most talented and respected authors in the horror and dark fantasy genres, featuring stories from Gemma Files, Helen Marshall, Kathe Koja, Lee Murray, David Demchuk, Lisa Morton, Gwendolyn Kiste, S.P. Miskowski, Seanan McGuire, Catherine Lord, Chesya Burke, Nadia Bulkin, Michelle Belanger, and Laird Barron.The dead are speaking. Will you hear?
