(W) Clay McLeod Chapman “Clay McLeod Chapman is one of my favorite horror storytellers working today.” — Jordan Peele A murderous artist is haunted by the spirits of those he has killed in this surreal and chilling supernatural revenge novella. From the acclaimed author of Ghost Eaters, and perfect for fans of Joe Hill and Delilah S. Dawson.At sixty-six years old, Winston Kemper has always been a nonentity. No one notices him. His simple existence barely registers for those who come into contact with him. Some call him feeble-minded. He is a janitor at the local church, a groundskeeper by default, and that’s it. No friends, no family. When he’s done with work, he returns home—a remote, single room apartment located above a garage—and that is where his true work begins.Winston Kemper is a collector of voices, and his magnum opus—The Butterfly Girls—is a sprawling epic of untapped imagination. It has no single canvas, no particular frame. It is everywhere—scribbled on the walls, the floor, and countless notebooks.Winston is creating a fantasia which exists in words, images and blood. As part of his 'art' he has been murdering forgotten women. Poor souls who slip through the cracks of society, who no one’s looking for. Mothers, sisters, daughters to someone, but no more.Winston takes their lives, their voices. But now he can hear them. They whisper to him. They talk of revenge. Winston Kemper might not believe in ghosts, but he is about to learn they are very real. And they are very, very angry. A surreal and dreamlike novella about the ghosts of our past and the dangerous, obsessive pursuit of art, from the true master of horror. (CJ Leede, Maeve Fly)

Shot as an erotic historical drama by Tinto Brass, the version released theatrically in 1980 was notoriously altered in post-production editing by producer - and Penthouse magazine publisher - Bob Guccione, who added hardcore sex scenes featuring Penthouse Pets that had been filmed separately. Written by Aaron Shaps, editor of the 2023 Ultimate Cut of the film, Caligula: The Official Story of the Film traces the film’s history, from the original concept drafted by Roberto Rossellini, through the difficult production, cinematic release and resulting legal battles to have the film declared not obscene so it could be screened in mainstream cinemas.

(W/A/CA) Michael DeForge Razor-sharp short stories from the greatest contemporary comics stylist In All the Cameras in My Room, Michael DeForge's hilarious and horny approach to comics fiction never disappoints. In “Figure Skating,” a star athlete’s impossible feats captivate the world, turning a simple skater’s rotation into a catalyst for national paralysis. While in “Holiday Special,” a narrator tells us about his favorite Christian holiday special that bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain bald-headed-boy-and-his-dog classic. No matter the conceit, characters in All the Cameras in My Room stretch and flatten and spiral around each other and burrow deep into the folds of a reader’s brain.
