Macabre and Monstrous
Engage in eldritch horror, monster terror and a forest of fright with short horror stories by the trio of We Aren’t Dead Yet.
In Emily Armstrong’s debut Fell Plumes, space truckers Lark and Mech think they've scored the payday of a lifetime when they agree to transport mysterious crates to a remote facility at the edge of the known cosmos.
In Salvager's Loop, veteran salvager Corven decides to make one last scrapping run when he boards a derelict starship deep in uncharted space, but he soon discovers the ghostly void-lost vessel is caught in a nightmare outside of time.
Bestselling author Sapha Burnell hits as hard as a road flare and liquor bottle with The Lamia, and Whiskey and Sinners Blood, two bone chilling stories based in the mythpunk Judge of Mystics universe.
Caleb Mauthisen runs magic-less and wounded through the streets of Vancouver from a terrifying Lamia, a woman cursed as a half snake, half human monster with a lust and hunger of the damned.
Descend into madness with Carolee, the Fae Queen’s assassin in an origin story twice as twisted as the obsidian knives Carolee inflicts on the unworthy in the Judge of Mystics Saga. How did Carolee go from mother of one to murder?
KS Bishoff frightens in Harvest of Horror with a malevolent demon tree hungering for souls, replacing its victims with eerie doppelgangers nurtured in the old gourd patch. As paranoia sweeps the community, fingers point at a lurking bogeyman. Tenya, burdened by mounting suspicions, races against time to unveil the truth hidden beneath the boughs of the sinister tree. Can she uncover the horrifying secret before the imposters usurp every last soul?
Macabre and Monstrous: A Horror Anthology of Eldricht Space, Myth Monsters & Forest Frights is a science-fiction, fantasy and mythpunk collection of short fiction which will unsettle, frighten and terrify… then lead you through the darkest part of the night to early dawn.

About the author
Sapha Burnell
11 books38 followers“Sapha is like a young Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion.”
— David Roomy
Cyberpunk + Mythpunk converge in my emotive works dubbed ‘a breathtakingly beautiful discovery’ (Kevin Hogan on Usurper Kings) and ‘an insane diabolical rollercoaster’ (RL Arenz III on NEON Lieben) and had one reviewer say they "didn't know a work of science fiction could be so beautiful". A true -punk, I teethed on images of the Berlin Wall falling down, challenge norms like bricks under sledgehammers and intertwine queerness and faith to envision a world on the brink of dystopia we can usurp and heal.
Steeped in divergent cultures, I spent years in humanitarian work, before dedicating my life to writing, editing and publishing. A member of The Writers Union of Canada, I lead weekly writing and critique streams on Twitch and across social media as usurperkings.
My two main writing series are the cyberpunk Lieben Cycle, with #1 book NEON Lieben and the god/mythpunk series Judge of Mystics Saga, starting off with Char & Ash and Son of Abel.
