New Deal Announcement – SLEEP ALONE

New Deal Announcement - SLEEP ALONE

Today we are excited to announce the Bram Stoker Award nominated Sleep Alone by J.A.W. McCarthy is coming to Shortwave in January!

In Sleep Alone, merch girl Ronnie is trapped cleaning up after a band of hungry succubi, leaving bodies in the wake of their shows, until a mysterious disease devouring succubi from the inside out starts infecting its members.

“J.A.W. McCarthy is a spectacular rising star in the horror genre, and Sleep Alone is a fantastic entry in her indelible and growing body of work. This fast-paced and creepy tale will rock your world and keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommended!” —Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author
