Welcome to Dark Arts Books...

Founded in 2006 to produce unique "sampler" anthologies which each featured multiple stories by four authors, Dark Arts Books has gone on to issue single author collections and novels as well from some of finest writers in modern horror. We've published seven anthologies, been written up in Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, Cemetery Dance and Rue Morgue, and been nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. To solidify our position as a serious, highbrow press, we staged the first-ever World Horror Convention Pajama Party in 2008!

The Night Mother, the sequel to John Everson's 2012 Bram Stoker Award finalist NightWhere, is now available for pre-order! The Night Mother will be released in both e-book and trade paperback on June 1, 2023, however, only the e-book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

A pre-order for autographed copies of the trade paperback is available on John Everson's website here.
