WILLIAM by Mason Coile has received fantastic press in the weeks leading up to its publication. For The Minnesota Star Tribune, Maren Longbella raves: “[M]emorable…The alternating short and shorter chapters keep the action tearing along, rather like cuts in a movie, as the temerity to meddle with existence undoes most of the characters...Is it the absence of something that creates the dissonance or is it the presence of something evil? By the end of WILLIAM you will have the answer. And then you'll want to read it again.” The book was featured on Reader’s Digest’s “61 Best Horror Books to Read in 2024,” Book Riot’s “10 Chilling New Horror Books Out September 2024,” and other must-read round-ups from Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Gizmodo. G.P. Putnam’s Sons will publish the novel on September 10, 2024.

SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS by Kailee Pedersen published to fantastic reviews this week. From Los Angeles Times, Heather Scott Partington writes: “Pedersen’s grisly tale joins many distinct threads together into a terrifying end. SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS is remarkable in its keen barbarism, the author’s blending of the ordinary violence of rural life with the gravity of a Chinese myth. Her characters live ‘only for the ferocious hunt, the glorious betrayal. The suffering of others is its own delicacy,’ she writes — ‘more pleasurable than that of even raw flesh.’” Meanwhile, a review in Paste Magazine calls SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS “a masterclass in measured horror storytelling” and an “astonishing feat, a horror debut that announces Pedersen as a major new talent in the genre and in fiction at large.” St. Martin’s Press and Titan Books (U.K.) published SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS on August 20, 2024.
