JEFF HILL'S DEAD WEEK
College. The week before finals. Winter break is looming, and everyone is a little bit more on edge than normal. The campus tabloid, Garbage Humans, has been exposing the lies that have kept its readers entertained and distracted all semester long. But its editor-in-chief is out for blood after a falling out with Greek row, the journalism college, and her friend group. The students are cramming, the booze is flowing, the parties are hopping, the secrets are spilling, and the bloodshed is about to start. Because the distraction their phones and their drama have been providing them since the fall semester began is exactly what the clown has been counting on. And the only thing scarier than a clown is one who plans on killing all your friends in publicly humiliating ways. This student body is about to be more body than student as the snow starts to fall, threatening to trap them all on a campus more preoccupied with looking cool than being smart.
Welcome to Dead Week. Hopefully no one important dies.
GORE 6: URBAN LEGENDS
PREORDER IS LIVE
The latest offering from Poe Boy Publishing, GORE 6 continues the tradition we've built: a Halloween anthology that feels like a blood‑slick handshake between urban legend, midnight folklore, and the kind of creeping dread that crawls under the reader’s skin long after the last page.
GORE 6 drags readers back into the October shadows with a collection of new nightmares inspired by the urban legends we grew up fearing. The ones told around campfires, whispered at sleepovers, and repeated as warnings no one ever quite believed… until now.
This year’s collection digs into the stories that cling to every town and city: the figure in the bathroom mirror who answers when you call her name, the phantom hitchhiker who vanishes before sunrise, the killer who hides beneath the bed waiting for the slightest dangling limb. Each tale twists a familiar legend into something feral, modern, and merciless, proving that folklore evolves, adapts, and hungers. Find it here!
In this gripping second instalment of the DI Bambridge series, Detective Inspector Bambridge and Detective Constable Lawrence face a chilling new case: six innocent lives snuffed out in a brutal cold-blooded murdering spree. Who were these victims? Why were they targeted? And who is the elusive killer behind it all?
Haunted by a past case, Bambridge is driven by a need for redemption, determined to capture the one criminal who slipped through his fingers. Meanwhile, Lawrence battles her own demons, returning from desk duty with the scars of trauma threatening to unravel her. As personal struggles collide with professional duty, the duo must navigate their own flaws and a relentless killer to uncover the truth.
Dark, addictive, and brimming with psychological depth, Six Victims pulls readers into a twisted web of crime, motive, and justice. Will Bambridge and Lawrence rise above their pasts to bring a murderer to justice—or become the next victims of their own failures? Find it here!

DEAD SOCIALS BY JEFF HILL
OUT NOW ON E-BOOK, PAPERBACK & HARDBACK
Disgraced reporter Jed Hollingsworth returns to his hometown of Sarah Falls to document the story of the worst school shooting in the history of the country. Except it’s the people who didn’t survive he’s interviewing, in preference to those who did. For he’s got no qualms asking the dead to tell their stories.
And when a friend reaches out from beyond the grave via social media, Jed knows there’s more to the story than he could have ever imagined. What dark secrets could possibly link this small town in the Midwest to a haunted mansion in upstate New York where every inhabitant has taken their own lives? This is a scoop to die for.
Dead Socials is a supernatural thriller that explores the world of mass media hysteria. Sometimes the most dangerous weapon is a cell phone. And the only thing more terrifying than ghosts are the people who killed them.
