NEW RELEASE: The Nightmare World by JG Faherty
Twenty-five years ago, Officer Robert Navarro vanished when he followed a bloodthirsty demon through a supernatural portal.
Now he's back.
When former police chief Bill Furman shoots the Boogeyman in a child's closet, he expects to find a body. Instead, the monster disappears and a man long believed dead steps out of the darkness with an impossible story.
Robert has spent more than two decades trapped in a nightmare world, hunting the creature that stole his life and nearly destroyed his family. And he knows one thing for certain: The one Bill killed wasn't the only one.
A second monster is loose in Moonrise Cove and it's out for vengeance, leaving a trail of blood, terror, and mutilated bodies in its wake. As the town spirals into panic, Bill, Robert, and Robert's son Ken must join forces with a rogue FBI agent protect the town and the people they love from an evil that can use any dark space as a doorway between worlds and turn any home into a slaughterhouse.
But to stop the slaughter, they'll have to do more than survive the night.
They'll have to take the fight into the monsters' world.
And once they cross over into the Nightmare World, they may never come back.

NEW RELEASE: Blood Alchemy by Kurt Newton
Possession... Obsession... Unnatural Desire...
A children's book illustrator. A rescued dog.
An alchemist with a dark secret.
Two lovers separated by thousands of years.
Past and present collide.
Alison is a children's book illustrator. With a deadline looming, and her husband away on a job assignment, Alison adopts a male dog from the local animal shelter for creative inspiration. Soon afterward, Alison is visited by erotic dreams of Khalid—an alchemist with a dark secret—and in these dreams, Alison is Sahlah, his wife.
A novel of romance and terror about two lovers separated by a thousand years, brought together by a dark force that's waited centuries to live and breathe… combining past with present, dreams with nightmares, and fate with circumstance to create a harrowing tale of possession, obsession, and unnatural desire.

Quantum Corsets Queer Imprint
Welcome to Quantum Corsets, Lycan Valley’s newest imprint featuring queer fiction written by queer authors.
What is Quantum Corsets?
‘Quantum’ references significant energy and momentum
‘Corsets’ represents empowerment and self-expression without constraints
‘Queer’ is intended to be all inclusive of the LGBTQ2+ community and fluidity, while rejecting restrictive labels and challenging societal norms
Quantum Corsets Content
Quantum Corsets will publish horror, dark fiction, mystery, thriller, suspense, cultural, and mixed genre novels, novellas and collections for adult, young adult and middle grade readers.
We are not looking for pure romance or porn. These elements may be present as appropriate within the story, but should not be the main genre.
Although Pink Triangle Rhapsody focused specifically on the gay male experience, the anthology would fit in perfectly with Quantum Corsets and is a great sampling of the energy, self-expression and queerness we’re looking for with this imprint.
Own Voices Only
While Lycan Valley acknowledges and accepts that writers can create believable and compelling characters unlike themselves, Quantum Corsets will publish Own Voices only (others may still submit to Lycan Valley during open submission periods).
This means all Quantum Corsets authors have a shared identity with their main characters and the story comes from authentic perspective, experience and understanding.
Open Submission Period
Quantum Corsets will open to public submissions for novellas beginning February 1 and closing June 30. Guidelines and addition information can be found on our submission portal.

Any and all additional funds raised beyond this will be used by Lycan Valley to directly pay authors and illustrators for on-going projects.
