Inspired by specially curated mixtapes, Bev Vincent and Brian Keene present two new spine-chilling novellas... As a blizzard descends upon the sleepy town of Bayport, Rhode Island, brothers Joey and Frank Shaw investigate the mysterious disappearances of several townsfolk. After the discovery of strange tunnels, tunnels that only Joey can see, the trio suspect something is lurking beneath the snowbound town. Something burrowing. Something hungry. And it looks like Joey might be next in The Dead of Winter. Did you imagine the world vanishing to a flood or a comet, the hand of God or nuclear war? What if it started with something as innocuous as the Berenstain Bears, and something known as the Mandela Effect? Barricaded in a seedy motel room, one man makes sense of love, loss, and life as the end of the world looms. Do you see what he sees? Do you know what he knows?

"Southard''s work bends the mind and punches the gut. His chilling tales offer all the carnage and chaos horror fanatics lick their chops for." ― Kristopher Triana, Splatterpunk Award-winning author of Gone to See the River Man "Southard writes true blue collar characters who are achingly real and endearing, and monsters that absolutely terrify. While one might note echoes of Richard Laymon, Southard''s voice is all his own, and he uses it to deliver a compelling and powerfully enjoyable read." ― Mary SanGiovanni, author of Beyond The Gate "Wesley Southard''s writing thrums with uninhibited energy that''s both infectious and entertaining. Discovering Wesley''s work has been a joy, and you should seek out his books too. He''s definitely a writer to watch." ― Jonathan Janz, author of The Siren and the Spector and Exorcist Falls "Southard writes with an intensity not seen since the original splatterpunks.

"When Henry was a child, something terrible happened in the woods behind his home, something so shocking he could only express his grief by drawing pictures of what he had witnessed. Eventually, Henry''s mind blocked out the bad memories, but he continued to draw, often at night by the light of the moon. Twenty years later, Henry makes his living by painting his disturbing works of art. He loves his wife and son, and life couldn''t be better--except there''s something not quite right about the old stone farmhouse his family now calls home. There''s something strange living in the cramped cellar, in the maze of pipes that feed the ancient steam boiler. A winter storm is brewing and soon Henry will learn the true nature of the monster waiting for him down in the darkness."--Page 4 of cover
