New Deal Announcement – MELON HEAD MAYHEM

Today we are announcing the acquisition of a new novella by author Alex Ebenstein. Melon Head Mayhem will be published Summer 2023 as the first title in our upcoming Killer VHS Series.

In Melon Head Mayhem, a found video tape brings a local urban legend to life, inflicting movie monsters on real locations in a creature feature reminiscent of the classic VHS horror era.

Alex Ebenstein is a horror and other dark speculative fiction author, and the founder and owner of Dread Stone Press, an independent small horror press.

More details about Melon Head Mayhem, and our new Killer VHS Series of novellas, will be released in the coming months.
