This publisher is interested only in literary fiction. When I go to their website and search on horror these five books pop up: https://twodollarradio.com/collection...
They look more literary than horror to me, but maybe they will be of interest.

This small Ohio publisher came to my attention because they published Scott Bradfield's fifth novel: The People Who Watched Her Pass By, a book that looked interesting enough for me to order. Scott Bradfield came to my attention for his werewolf tale: "The Dream of the Wolf", which I can't recommend, but also can't forget.

Anyhow, if you check out Two Dollar Radio and see anything striking in their inventory, I hope you will share your observation here.

Bill Hsu (billhsu) | 1786 comments Two Dollar Radio has put out some excellent books in the last few years. Their books that I've read aren't all tagged "horror" (whatever that means), but are all dark and disquieting.

I really enjoyed N.J. Campbell's Found Audio. Kind of a dark noir with cassettes.

Not a fan of Colin WInnette's Haints Stay. Too much western, not enough acid. The same author's recent The Job of the Wasp is awfully fine though.

I'm also not a fan of Berit Ellingsen's Not Dark Yet.

Jeff Jackson's Mira Corpora is one of those fascinating, dark, disorienting dream narratives. Highly recommended.

My favorite Two Dollar Radio book is Nicholas Rombes' The Absolution of Roberto Acestes Laing. Another dark uncanny noir novel about lost films; I wrote earlier: "Really enjoyed its sheer obsessiveness, play with framing devices, and the general creeping unease in the open narratives."

Dan Wow, you read widely, Bill! Thank you for giving me so much to consider.

I wish ANY of the books you mention came in Audiobook form. It's what I have most time for now. I listen while driving a lot these days because I am in nursing school and have to devote most of my reading time to that effort.
