After a last-minute price hike from the web host of over 300%, I decided to move the Broken Eye Books site to a new host and rebuild. And the former host pissed me off in other ways, so this was equally fueled by spite. New site is up, though incomplete. Will be filling it back out in coming weeks.

TODAY!

Boy, am I grateful to my fellow Roanoke, VA, dark fantasy & horror scribbler R.S. Belcher: I’m so glad he found my just-released TRAIL OF SHADOWS worthy of these kind words.

Out now from @slgable.bsky.social ! ➡️ bit.ly/SpiderBookor...

Also on @netgalley.bsky.social! bit.ly/SpiderNetgal...
“Mike Allen’s Trail of Shadows is a tense, tight, and constantly surprising novel. A hike down the Appalachian Trail into a realm of shadows and surreal horror, it will keep you up late, and it cements Mike Allen as a horror and suspense writer to keep your eye on. I can’t recommend it enough.” —R. S. Belcher

Trail of Shadows, our latest book from Broken Eye Books, by @mythicdelirium.bsky.social, has a duplex cover (which simply means color printing on the interior covers as well). This one showcases a wonderful topological landscape illustration of the astral realm, from the talented Kirsty Greenwood.

This overflowing cornucopia of a StoryBundle explores all the permutations of the horror novella, providing 22 tales of terror penned by 21 authors, ranging from career grand masters to up-and-comers making their debuts. These morsels include 18 standalone novellas and short novels, plus the anthology A Sinister Quartet, which holds four more novellas. You'll find pulse-pounding thrillers and slow-burning noir, supernatural and psychological terror, narratives mind-bending and straightforward, the bloody and the subtle, even dark humor. For those who love a good scare, horror can be comfort food, a thrill ride of the soul that's completely under your control, even as the words on the page make you feel shiveringly otherwise. There's fuel here for many an enjoyably sleepless night. * * * For StoryBundle, you decide what price you want to pay. For $5 (or more, if you're feeling generous), you'll get the basic bundle of four novellas in .epub format—WORLDWIDE. • The Kraken Sea by E. Catherine Tobler • Obsecration by Matthew M. Bartlett • Bishop by Candace Nola • Family Solstice by Kate Maruyama If you pay at least the bonus price of just $20, you get all four of the regular novellas, plus 15 more books, for a total of 19 (or really 22 since A Sinister Quartet contains 4)! • 12 Hours by L. Marie Wood • Joey Leonard's Last Horror Movie Marathon by Kevin Lucia • King of the Bastards by Brian Keene and Steven L. Shrewsbury • Beneath Ash and Bone by D. Alexander Ward • Children of Fire by Chris DiLeo • Catfish Lullaby by AC Wise • Pretty Marys All in a Row by Gwendolyn Kiste • The Unicorn Killer by Candace Nola • Taboo in Four Colors by Tim McGregor • Small Gods of Calamity by Sam Kyung Yoo • A Sinister Quartet by Mike Allen, C.S.E.
