Jenna Cha's haunting cover art: in a sickly smoky green barren wasteland, a monolithic head emerges from the ground, spilling countless desiccated corpses from its mouth, a glowing light in the back of its throat; a single figure hovers beside the head, curled in a fetal position

Sure, we could keep talking up our incredible lineup of titles for 2026.

Or we could let badasses like @michaelwehunt.bsky.social & @haileypiperfights.bsky.social do it for us🖤☠️

OLYOKE by @endwellian.bsky.social is 1 of 9 titles in the Tenebrous 2026 Book Club!

Subscribe:
store.tenebrouspress.com
Blurb by Hailey Piper: "An intriguing mosaic. OLYOKE comes steeped in the dark strangeness and wry dread of a classic Vertigo comic. Endwell blends the scope of weird histories with the scurrying of small human lives, caught like insects in time's ever-clinging trap." Blurb by Michael Wehunt: “Vincent Endwell’s OLYOKE lures you into the crevice between Weird fiction and Appalachian horror, where something inscrutable yet warm has been gestating. You will come back different—burned in a great fire, perhaps serenaded by a Dolly Parton impersonator—but you never have to think of your old self again. If that isn’t a resin—I mean reason, oh God, the book has infected me, too!—to recommend this unique melting pot of horrors, I don’t know what is.”

If you've never read CROM CRUACH, this isn't marketing hyperbole: there really isn't another book in existence quite like it. Just ask @horrorsong.blog 😀

And then grab a copy for yourself: store.tenebrouspress.com/products/cro...
Blurb from Joe Koch: "CROM CRUACH startled me. We might need to invent a new genre for them, like Anarcho-Folk Splatter or Lyrical Black-Metal Horror. If you don't want to read a novella-length poem mixing ancient occult horror with modern communal politics that's efficiently and viscerally detailed in glorious lines like, ‘Lynda was missing her head, Cora, and she was singing,’ well then, I really don't know how to help you.”
