About DeAnna Knippling

DeAnna Knippling has a browser history full of murder, gore, and Victorian street maps. She has ambitions to have a secret room in the basement. She loves crows, cheese, chokecherry jam, and hot sauce, but not all at once.

You can find her in Colorado with her husband and daughter, or at her website, www.WonderlandPress.com, where she writes gothics and weird fiction as herself, mysteries as Diane R. Thompson, sci-fi detective noir as Dean Kenyon, and middle-grade adventure fiction as De Kenyon.

Someday, one of her pen names will murder one of the others, she’s sure of it.

The House Without a Summer: A Novel of Gothic Horror Mar 2, 2020

by DeAnna Knippling

( 103 )

$4.99

The year is 1816, in Northamptonshire. A red, spiderwebbed haze covers the sun. Temperatures drop, fields flood and freeze, grain rots on the stem. The people are starving, and even the wealthy and titled are affected by shortages. Sickness spreads as a red fungus overtakes fields, seals over windows, and infiltrates cellars.

On the way back from the Napoleonic Wars in France, Marcus, the younger son of the Earl of Penderbrook, returns to find his brother dead, the estate covered in fungus, and his father sinking into madness.

The last thing Marcus wants to do is be responsible for Penderbook; he wants only to spend the rest of his life playing cards, drinking, and seducing other men’s wives. But even the responsible life of an heir escapes from his grasp, as his brother’s body disappears, his father turns violent, and pale monsters horrify the countryside.

As Marcus pieces together the truth, he discovers a past more tainted with evil than he could have suspected.

From the family wine cellar to the folly behind the house—from the pond where he played as a child to the new cotton mill built along the stream—

None of what happens at Penderbrook is innocent.

And the monstrosities that have been committed may still be carried in Marcus’s blood…

A tale of transformation and terror, set in the year Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.

Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Queen of Stilled Hearts Aug 15, 2015

The real story behind the Alice in Wonderland books…

In 1854, young Miss Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson (also known as Lewis Carroll) met over a photograph. The photograph was a performance commanded by Alice’s mother, a woman with lofty aspirations.

One does not snub one of the best photographers in the United Kingdom, even if he is undead.

Across the world, the virulent infection has eased, and a cure of sorts has been created, keeping the undead under control, and preventing those who are Infected from turning. All is well.

Or is it?

The dreadfully shy Reverend Dodgson reaches out to Alice and her sisters to tell them a remarkable story—an innocent tale filled with magic and wonder. White Rabbits, Red Queens, and Mad Hatters abound.

But his tale contains dark secrets that might destroy the reputations of some of the highest people in the United Kingdom.

And Alice’s mother simply can’t allow her husband’s pet zombie to take liberties such as that.

An alternate history behind the background of the Alice in Wonderland books, and the tale within the tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Book 1 in the Alice's Adventures in Underland Series, followed by Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Knight of Shattered Dreams.

We’re all Infected here…

It says its name is Jimmy O'Toole and the man who dropped it is a sorcerer. You're holding a grimoire...although it used to be more than that.

It used to be a person.

You know your mom should be able to work this out. She's always been into magic.

You just have to live long enough to get the book home to her...

Welcome to the world of the succubus. She visits your dreams, or she visits your bed. She is sex incarnate: hot, irresistible, and oh so willing. Willing to seduce you, or to destroy you—whatever feeds her needs of the moment.

Join us in this collection of tales about succubi and their encounters with human lovers. Thirteen authors share their vision of the succubus, the legendary creature who feeds on sexual vitality and energy from her victims. Must an encounter with a succubus always be deadly? No—but it is always memorable, for the person she takes into her embrace has something she wants and cannot live without.

Revenge, redemption, loss, lust, desire and love are some of the places these stories will take readers as each succubus reveals a facet of her unique existence.

Genre readers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, fantasy and science fiction will find gems to delight in in this collection. Authors are a mix of new voices and established writers, including Mary Roberts Rinehart Award nominee Diana Pharaoh Francis, two-time Nebula Award nominee Jennifer Pelland, Deborah Teramis Christian, whose work has been considered for the Tiptree Award, and Laura Antoniou, whose Marketplace series has been lauded as setting the standard for contemporary SM erotic fiction.

As a deadly scourge overwhelms the continent, four survivors race to find a last exit out of Australia.

Up in the attic, a bedtime story outlives its storyteller.

A city boy visits his country cousins and stumbles on a terrifying family secret.

From a film set in the Arizona desert, to an overgrown rambling old house in the Florida swamps, to the dusty streets of a small Mexican town, the stories in this volume plunge the reader into the shadows of a world almost forgotten by modern fables of cold science and bright sunlight. They are the brushed over voices who call a warning to those who would comfort themselves in the thought that monsters aren’t real, and those things can’t happen here. Stories We Tell After Midnight Volume 2 offers up tales of revenge, of hunger, and of the horror that stalks you just beyond the glow of your cell phone light, but only to those who dare turn the page…

Ride through the sky with the Wild Hunt!

A fierce host rides across the winter sky at night
In wild pursuit of whoever crosses their path

Peals of thunder follow the horses as they gallop through the clouds
Fire flashing from their hooves

The baying of the hounds echoes across the sky
Their sharp teeth glinting in the light of the moon

The Huntsman blows his horn, and the Fae ride behind him
Their faces both beautiful and terrible to behold

When the nights are long and the winter winds howl, stay inside
Lest you cross the path of the Hunt...and become their prey

The Wild Hunt contains thirteen stories based on the wide and varied folklore of the Wild Hunt. In some tales, the leader of the hunt is Odin; in others it’s King Arthur, Herodias, or Herne the Hunter. Sometimes the riders are Fae; sometimes they are specters, or skeletons, or strange beasts never before seen by mortal eyes.

But no matter who the hunters are, you definitely don’t want to be the one they’re after...

Let the Wild Hunt begin!

Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Knight of Shattered Dreams May 28, 2019

by DeAnna Knippling

$2.99

The real story behind Through the Looking-Glass…

It was a Britain that had been overrun by a plague of zombies.

A Britain that had fought the zombies, not quite won, and yet declared victory.

The rabid dead had been mercifully put down. The less virulently infected were treated with a sort of fungal “tea” that kept their urges to eat their fellow men at bay. With a bit of effort and discipline, one of the Infected could be right as rain.

Oxford don and reluctant member of the undead Charles Dodgson has been banished from the Liddell household at the behest of Dean Henry Liddell’s wife, and forbidden the presence of her daughters. Dark accusations against Dodgson abound, fostered by their mother.

But years have passed, the girls have grown, and Mrs. Dodgson orders the girls to have their photographs taken—to display themselves on the marriage market—by one of the premier photographers of the time.

None other than Charles Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll.

But Alice does not wish to make things up with her old mentor; she does not wish to be put on the marriage market. What she wishes to is marry her childhood friend, Prince Leopold.

But the Queen does not approve.

All, however, may be moot, as the plague of the Infected once again rises, this time in a more virulent form, and carries away everything before it, like a flood.

A tale of gaslamps, dark fantasy, and gothic horror delights.

Part 2 of Alice’s Adventures in Underland. Part 1 is Alice’s Adventures in Underland: The Queen of Stilled Hearts.
