Split Scream Volume One

SPLIT SCREAM has a new home at Tenebrous Press! The first volume of editor Alex Ebenstein's acclaimed series is back in print, featuring two novelettes: The Guts of Myth – Carson Winter It's 1973. British-American thug Byron is tasked with finding the occultist Allosaurus D'Ambrosere, given only handwritten instructions and two hateful associates. Where they're going, they'll find blood red skies, obsidian towers, and a deep thirst for violence. But will they find the man who calls himself the Golden King? The Guts of Myth is Weird horror that snaps like hardboiled noir with vistas lifted straight from Beksinski. The Mourner Across the Flames – Scott J. Moses The world is a salt-ridden dystopia. Bharath, an exile given to hallucinations, is ordered to escort an emaciated mourner across the barren flats. The journey reveals the existence of a monster, evolved to live in the After among the remaining humans. But which is worse—the monster new to Bharath, or the humans who robbed him of his love? The Mourner Across the Flames is a grief-stricken tale of spiraling delusion held afloat by enduring love. "SPLIT SCREAM feels like a sleek, bullet-sized iteration of the ACE Doubles I devoured back in the day. Winter and Moses go hard with transdimensional Lovecraftian body horror and far-future Pulp." - Laird Barron, The Imago Sequence, The Croning
