Today we are excited to announce the acquisition of two new novellas by CLASH Books Editor-in-Chief, Christoph Paul, The Haunted House That Swallowed the Universe and Mummies and Sorcerers in South Boston.

Both novellas are standalones, and both will be publishing in one Double Feature volume.

In this Double Feature, aliens take enslaved humans back to an uninhabitable Earth to retrieve technology in an abandoned mansion only to realize it’s a haunted house, and then a Steven Spielberg-hating YouTuber has to figure out how to stop a mummy from taking over his neighborhood in South Boston.

The Haunted House That Swallowed the Universe and Mummies and Sorcerers in South Boston will be published in spring 2026 in paperback and eBook. A cover reveal and pre-orders are forthcoming.

This book has been retitled EVEN THE UNIVERSE HAS NIGHTMARES: A DOUBLE CREATURE FEATURE.
