There’s no better way to celebrate the end of the year than with a seasonal mixtape with The Best of Indie Horror: Christmas Edition! Whether you love it or loathe it, Christmas brings out the best and worst in many people the world over — thus, lighting a fire in the bellies of storytellers who wish to strike warm fuzzies or tantalising terror in reader’s hearts. You won’t find the warm fuzzy feeling here; that’s not what we do!

This anthology will dance readers through an array of styles and horror sub-genres, including bizzaro through the looking glass of unique Christmas ornaments; such treats always come with a price. Discover the dark secrets between the Claus’ and Krampus that you’ll never forget. There’s a touch of sci-fi when a lone worker discovers a hidden department in a derelict store. There are family horror tales of obsessive tradition, reunion, and mayhem. This edition promises something festive to satisfy a cornucopia of horror pallets.

In this invite-only anthology, KJK Publishing presents 11 new tales of frightful festive horror shenanigans from: Matthew V. Brockmeyer, Eric Butler, Matthew A. Clarke, David Owain Hughes, Lex H Jones, Kevin J. Kennedy, Zoltán Komor, Patrick Reuman, RJ Roles, Veronica Smith and Steve Stred.

Don't forget the milk and cookies, and be good kids — someone is always watching. Those damn elves are not to be trusted!

From established authors, to people putting pen to paper for the first time.
Books of Horror presents its inaugural Community Anthology.

Hell, you don’t exactly want to be caught up alone with them yourself! This one has no boundaries.

Now, here we are with volume two—some authors will be familiar, while others will be brand new. Collected within this book are stories that span the wide genre that is Horror. Crack open the book and delve in, if you dare.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Satan’s little girl is a deadbeat parent, too.

Want to guess what your weird neighbors are really up to?
Or why half the kids in the neighborhood have vanished?

Ever wonder how that nice little family survived that horrific break-in attempt?
Here’s a hint: it’s from another world entirely.

An incomprehensible monstrosity who channels its destructive power through the defenseless…
A private investigator who knows just a little too much about the undead…
A woman desperate to marry the man she loves even as an unthinkable apocalypse looms….
An abused girl who’ll do whatever it takes to save a persecuted shapeshifter…
A spurned spouse who finds the cure for infidelity….
A mother who defies Hell itself to save her son…

Come and meet these monsters, and the things they do for love.

Comprising Volumes 4 to 6 of the bestselling "MONSTERS" horror anthology series, the WHAT MONSTERS DO FOR LOVE trilogy spans over one hundred stories by an international team of bestselling, award-winning, and visionary authors, offering a treasure trove unforgettable tales about monsters (of both the human and inhuman varieties) that range from the deceptively whimsical to the heartbreakingly terrifying, and everything in between.
