Announcing the launch list of our new horror imprint—Run For It!
We’re thrilled to announce the first three titles coming out on our new horror imprint, Run For It.
In Summer 2025 we’ll publish My Ex, the Antichrist by Craig DiLouie, the Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive, Episode Thirteen, and The Children of Red Peak. Here he brings his signature horror style to a novel about how sometimes you need to save the world from the antichrist, even if you used to date him. It’s what we all love about the genre cranked up to eleven, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix. You can find Craig on Facebook at /Craig.DiLouie or on his website: craigdilouie.com.
In Fall 2025 we’ll publish Moonflow, the debut horror novel of three-time Hugo Award nominee Bitter Karella. Full of eldritch horrors and brain-matter splatter galore, Moonflow is a gloriously irreverent psychedelic trip of a book, perfect for fans of Gretchen Felker-Martin, Alison Rumfitt, and Eric LaRocca. This is an intense rollercoaster of a novel about the weirdness and malleability of gender and the horrors of sisterhood, but it’s also pure, daring fun. You can find Karella on X @bitterkarella or on her website: bitterkarella.com.
In Fall 2025 we’ll also publish I’ll Make a Spectacle of You from debut Beatrice Winifred Iker and Electric Postcard Entertainment. This is a macabre, blood-curdling horror novel featuring folk monsters, powerful secret societies, an indelible protagonist, and lots of murder set at a fictional HBCU. The blend of folk monsters, secret societies, and old-school slasher vibes will be perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Alyssa Cole. You can find Beatrice on Instagram @beatricewinifrediker or on their website: beatriceiker.com and Electric Postcard Entertainment at electricpostcard.com.
Stay tuned for more upcoming releases and check out the descriptions of these books below!
My Ex The Antichrist by Craig DiLouie
1998: A punk band is formed by Lily Lawlor and Drake Morgan. Drake inspires faith in some. Fear in others. Lily is a believer.
1999: A Battle of the Bands ends in a riot that claims the lives of nine teenagers.
2010: At the height of her pop punk fame, Lily walks into a police station and confesses to murder.
Now: For years, the band has refused to talk to the press about the night of the riot, Lily’s confession, or anything to do with Drake. It’s been over a decade, but Lily has finally agreed to an interview. And the band is following her lead.
What follows is a startling oral history, a story of prophecy, death, and apocalypse. A story about love and love lost. A story about the antichrist. Maybe it’s all true. Maybe none if it is.
Either way, this is their story. And they’re sticking to it.
Moonflow by Bitter Karella
They call it the King’s Breakfast.
They say one bite and you can understand the full scope of the universe; one bite and you can commune with forgotten gods beyond human ken, gods best left undisturbed. And it only grows deep in the Pamogo forest, where the trees crowd so tight that the forest floor is pitch black day and night.
Sarah makes her living growing mushrooms. When a bad harvest leaves her in a desperate fix, the lure of the King’s Breakfast is too strong to resist. Her only guide is Andy, the most annoying man in the world. But the deeper they go, the weirder things start to get. And at the heart of the forest, what they find will change their lives forever.
I’ll Make a Spectacle of You by Beatrice Winifred Iker
Zora Robinson is a first-year grad student at the prestigious HBCU Bricksbury University, studying the cultural impact of hoodoo and conjure in Black Appalachia. Soon she learns about a tales of a beast roaming the woods around campus and, with the help of her friend and a library assistant, sets out to learn more.
As she delves into the sordid past of Bricksbury, Zora uncovers a defunct secret society known as the Bees that once operated on campus but was driven into obscurity among rumors of disturbing initiation rituals. But soon, relics of the society begin to haunt Zora’s dreams, and an unsettling discovery in the woods forces her to wonder if the organization ever disbanded at all.
When students start disappearing from campus, no one but Zora seems to remember them existing at all. Could it be a serial killer, or is it related to the stories of the beast in the woods? And how do the Bees fit in? With her world closing in around her, Zora must uncover what is real and what is folklore before whatever is in the woods takes the people she loves.
