Today we are announcing the acquisition of The Other and The Spare, two new novellas by Annie Neugebauer…
“Neugebauer’s The Extra is an exquisite and anxiety-inducing work of horror that had me vicariously stressed the heck out along with the protagonist. Worth every white hair it gave me.”
— Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing but Blackened Teeth
Ten people head out on a backpacking trip, but the first night eleven set up camp. Everyone remembers everyone else. Who is the extra?
“Neugebauer’s The Extra is an exquisite and anxiety-inducing work of horror that had me vicariously stressed the heck out along with the protagonist. Worth every white hair it gave me.”
— Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing but Blackened Teeth
“The Extra is exceptional in every way: Extra unnerving, extra eerie, extra tense. Annie Neugebauer pedals in the same alpine paranoia as John Carpenter’s classic The Thing, manifesting a sense of dissociative anxiety that only mounts with every turn of the page.”
— Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
“Annie Neugebauer spins a disturbing tale of paranoia, identity, and horror packed with twists you absolutely won’t see coming! Highly recommended!”
— Jonathan Maberry, author of Burn to Shine and Cold War
