David Simmons is a rising star in horror fiction, and in Fetty on the Switches, Simmons shows readers the wide range of emotions, fears, and humanity he is capable of conjuring in his stories. This is an incendiary, disturbing, funny, and raw collection that you will not leave unscathed. And if you’re like me, you will put this book down as a newly minted David Simmons fan. This is not easy to digest; it will gross you out, make you think, and make you laugh, sometimes all on the same page.Continue Reading

Review: Eat the Light by Andrew Najberg

Wicked House Press (April 2026)
Reviewed by Adam Allen

I’m a sucker for a good post-apocalyptic horror story, whether it’s zombies, aliens, or some kind of disease, and Andrew Najberg’s Eat the Light will absolutely scratch that itch for readers. It is a brutal and gritty survival story that does not hold back in the slightest.

This lends a constant sense of mystery and urgency throughout the novel, keeping the pages turning quickly.
