Denver Horror Collective Announces Southwestern Horror Anthology‘ Frontiers of Fright,’ Highlighting A New Take on Western Horror Stories

Posted on by

Denver, Colorado—Denver Horror Collective (DHC) announces their newest publication, an anthology of horror stories set in the Southwest, Frontiers of Fright: A Southwestern Horror Anthology, showcasing a diverse selection of emerging and established authors from around the world. The book is set to launch on Thursday, October 31, 2024, in both e-book and print format and will be available through Amazon.

Frontiers of Fright, edited by DHC Steering Committee Member and Horror Writers Association, Colorado, co-chair, A.E. Santana, features a variety of eerie and bizarre stories that move away from traditional Hollywood shoot ’em ups and range from hair-raising stories from when the West was young to modern tales of terror.

“Frontiers of Fright is a true campfire horror. That howl is more than the wind and the devil not just in the dust. This is a great collection of creepy tall tales for the change of seasons.” — V. Castro, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of The Goddess of Filth and The Haunting of Alejandra

“Newcomers and veteran authors come together in Frontiers of Fright: A Weird Western Anthology, edited by A.E. Santana. Weaving tales of outlaws, gunslingers, and more with dark, mysterious twists, I marveled at the imagination and got lost in the Southwestern settings and characters, all of it under a big, endless, ever watching sky.”  — John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Requiem and Ghost Heart

“Wonderfully creepy! These unsettling tales set in the iconic southwest throughout history feature a fascinating range of ferocious creatures—exactly the types of stories I love. You’ll find nightmarish visions haunting these pages in scenes spanning the vast desert, looming wilderness and supernatural unknown.” — KC Grifant, author of Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger and Shrouded Horror: Tales of the Uncanny

“Frontiers of Fright assembles eighteen tales that examine the brutality and beauty of the Southwest. These barren landscapes, cavernous mines, and craggy mountains house heroes, villains, and creatures both new and ancient. Threaded throughout is a ravenous hunger demanding to feast until only sun-bleached bones remain.” — Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and The Dead Spot

Reviews of THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR

Posted on by

A list of some of the reviews of THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR!

Publishers Weekly:

“A superior anthology with a fascinating origin story…[that] demonstrates the compatibility of Jewish tradition, history, and folklore with the horror genre.”

Bookishly Jewish:

“Marginalized writers are taking back the genre, using it to confront some of their own demons and show the world the horrors they personally experience. Instead of making me feel nauseous and sick, these stories inform and empower.”

Midwest Book Review:

“Each tale comes steeped in a background of Jewish lives and traditions. Each holds a powerful key to understanding the varied sources of horror in adversities that challenge heart, soul, and spiritual wellsprings alike.”

Horror Addicts:

“A dark, informative and entertaining read…it carries the weight of one of the oldest traditions in the world.”

HorrorNews.Net:

“The Jewish Book of Horror beckons a vast audience to enlighten, entertain and terrify…This collection of dark, ancient and contemporary mayhem can be equally enjoyed with an initial perusal and returning to the promised land time and again.”

Unsettling Reads:

“There were so many real life horrors mentioned in many of the stories in the collection, which added another layer of emotion for me… There were moments when I knew I was reading a fictional horror collection, but it was hard to differentiate the fine line between the truth of the past and the creative fiction of the authors.”

One-Sentence Reviews:

“The best anthology I’ve read all year!”

The Horror Tree:

“An anthology well worth reading.”

Horror Addicts Reviews THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR

Posted on by

“The Jewish Book of Horror, ed. Josh Schlossberg (pub. Denver Horror Collective) is a dark, informative and entertaining read. I was drawn to this book because I was wondering how can a people, who have endured so much during the history of the human race, create fictional horror and I also wanted to know what was different about ‘Jewish’ horror compared to standard offerings.”
