Today on The Seventh Terrace—a review of Darkest Hours: Expanded Edition, plus an interview with the author.

“It’s about being a total and complete fuckup and outsider. And there’s some gnarly gore too if that’s your thing.”

On June 11, 2021, Journalstone will release Darkest Hours: Expanded Edition. This definitive version includes:
• A new foreword by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror)
• Author notes for all 16 stories (newly revised)
• 17 essays on horror cinema
Visit Night Worms for an exclusive cover reveal (art by Mikio Murakami).
Pre-order directly from JournalStone.

On Saturday, May 8, Cult of Cinema‘s Aaron Pynn will host a conversation between Mike Thorn (author of Shelter for the Damned and Darkest Hours) and Jamie Blanks (director of Urban Legend and Valentine).

“Thorn gives us a slow burn story that shows a kid spiral as the shack he loves hooks its tentacles into him and begins to distort right from wrong.”

Mike Thorn returns to Losing the Plot talk about his latest novel, Shelter for the Damned (Journalstone) but he also has a rerelease of his short story collection Darkest Hours coming out and a new collection, Peel Back and See, out towards the end of the year! Wild!

“Many of the stories in this collection concern the topics of academia (with academics being alternately portrayed as buffoonish or somewhat sinister) and drinking/drunkenness; the two are most amusingly combined in the clever ‘Speaking of Ghosts.'”
