We are excited to announce Nat Cassidy’s Rest Stop and Joshua Millican’s Teleportasm are both nominated for Novella of the Year at the This Is Horror Awards.
“If you’re looking for a read that’s equally entertaining and horrific, you MUST pick up one of Shortwave’s Killer VHS books, specifically Teleportasm.”
—Anna Dupre, FearForAll
Four friends unearth a unique videotape unlocking new frontiers of sensation through teleportation, inadvertently opening doorways into cosmic terror. Results vary drastically when copies (and copies of copies) hit the streets. Elsewhere, on a dead version of planet Earth, a woman crisscrosses North American on a motorcycle following a cryptic message like a beacon: SNAPS WAS HERE.
The universe may be unraveling, but it's a small price to pay. Because teleportation feels good. Really, really good.

Praise for the series:
“The modern day Goosebumps for adults.”

Joshua Millican graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Creative Writing. He became a nationally ranked slam poet and served as Editor-in-Chief of the legacy horror website Dread Central. Joshua is the author of Deeper Than Hell, Septum, and a non-fiction collection of interviews called The Dreadful Years. He also wrote a novelization of Richard Elfman’s cult film Forbidden Zone.
A series of books where movie monsters come to life and old VHS tapes summon long-buried evils. You’ll probably survive, as long as you remember to be kind and rewind.
