Afraid to Feel
Psychological Horror
“It’s not the memories,” I explained. “Something is wrong with this house. It’s cursed or haunted or maybe something even worse than that. It killed Mom and Dad, and then it killed Mark.”
Alex Tucker’s slow-burn horror novella, Afraid to Feel is a fascinating plunge into emotional paralysis and the cost of silence. Told through the worn-out perspective of Cory Gardner, a tired father and withdrawn husband, the story reveals what happens when a man raised to suppress every emotion finally opens his mouth. In therapy, Cory reveals a belief that his world is artificial, that he lives inside a simulation. This fractured view of reality leaves him detached from his wife, his children, and from life itself.
Tucker, an HWA writer known for his atmospheric short fiction, delivers a novel steeped in tension and dread. Cory’s memories bleed into the present. His childhood secrets do more than haunt. They infect.

Phantasmagoria
Psychological Horror
A slow burn psychological horror novel, Josh White’s Phantasmagoria tells the story of Anna, Miguel, Corentine, and Stephen—four sufferers of terrifying sleeping disorders who find themselves at a remote wellness retreat. But Aeron Hall, a bloodcurdling mansion nestled in the mountains of old coal country, is an unusual location to gather the sleep deprived. From the stained glass windows that watch the patients like eyes to the harrowing wail erupting from the caverns underneath, the mansion is chiseled from the essence of nightmares.
Then new, increasingly personal horrors begin. Thunderous knocks erupt from bedroom mirrors. A statue moves in the moonlight. Mattresses ooze blood. Threatening messages are scrawled on paintings. Shadowy figures beckon and unleash tormented screams in the night. Is a sinister presence demanding penance for the patients’ sins, or is the house playing tricks on their exhausted minds?
Combining the surrealism of Jac Jemc’s The Grip of It with the tortured psychological horror of Daniel Kehlmann’s You Should Have Left, Phantasmagoria offers a haunting exploration of loss, grief, and atonement told through the alternating point-of-views of the novel’s four main characters. The novel questions the nature of hauntings and poses that houses—no matter how horrific their past—can never truly be as haunted as people.
3 Stones for the Nixie
Cosmic, Gothic & Occult
It’s 1989. Robert Baastad, his family, and friends navigate their seemingly ordinary lives in Øyerstad, a village nestled deep in the forests and cornfields of Indre Østfold. Robert races through the streets on his Apache bike, his little brother Fredrik pedalling furiously behind on his BMX. They are the Hulk and Spider-Man, famous football stars, and the highest-paid actors—whoever they want to be. They fly past the gas station near their house, their grandparents’ home, and across the road, abandoning their bikes as they dash toward the kiosk. It’s Saturday. Scattered houses stand silent across the Haugen fields, framed by golden corn, blue skies, and vibrant green grass.
They are oblivious to the darkness that lies beneath. Mysterious deaths, disappearances, and vengeful spirits stain hidden layers with blood red, grief-stricken black, and the sickly brown of rotting flesh. Something watches from the depths of the forests, lurks in the shadowed hills, and peers out from soulless windows. Something stirs beneath the surface of the bottomless Nixie pond.
Something dark is waiting. Watching.
