In Margaret Tabor's UNITY PENFOLD (1980), a woman arrives home to find her house has vanished into thin air. Worse, there is no record of her kids' existence, or her husband's, or hers. Is it a bizarre prank? Is she mad? Or is it something much weirder? valancourtbooks.com/unity-penfold-…

A toast to one of my very favorite writers, the excellent Simon Raven, who died today in 2001. His vampire novel DOCTORS WEAR SCARLET is a classic and was one of Karl Edward Wagner's picks for best supernatural horror novel of all time. Check it out: valancourtbooks.com/doctors-wear-s…

The tourist who becomes obsessed with the tale of serial killer, John Christie. The neglected baby who takes its own revenge. The misguided scientist and his pet praying mantis. Excellent range of bone-chillers from a British horror maestro and more top work from Valancourt Books.

A happy birthday to Thomas Tessier, three of whose best have been reissued by Valancourt Books valancourtbooks.com/thomas-tessier…

The world of 1970s British book covers is sometimes a very strange place. Just spotted this one for Carl Jacobi's REVELATIONS IN BLACK, which we're publishing shortly. It's definitely creepy, I guess.

Attila Veres' THE BLACK MAYBE was a huge hit with readers, finalist for the Stoker Award, and Rue Morgue's Best Collection of 2022. We think it's one of the best horror collections in recent years. Which is why we're excited to announce there will be a second Veres book in 2025!

Still one week left to get these two great titles on Kindle for $2.99 worldwide! David Karp's ONE (1953) is a classic dystopian novel, and Robert Westall's ANTIQUE DUST (1989) is one of the best M.R. James-style ghost story collections.

Another exciting forthcoming release! David Wheldon's THE VIADUCT (1983), a haunting and surreal novel with echoes of Kafka and Samuel Beckett, was highly praised by Graham Greene, William Trevor, and critics, and became a cult classic. Check it out here: valancourtbooks.com/the-viaduct-19…
