Dark Prints Press presents its first horror anthology:
Imagine the world has ended, that all but a small portion of Earth’s population has been wiped out.
You have never had time to find out why.
Your energy is spent on surviving – skewed weather patterns, crumbling buildings, starving creatures, and humans mercilessly hunting their own kind. You left the confines of your home long ago, alone, searching for remaining shreds of humanity.
Then, one day, you finally stumble upon a small group of survivors who wish you no harm. They have something to share with you. Something to help you survive. Stories, modern fables, of how to avoid the nightmares you hadn’t even considered.
These stories and more, from across the world, are collected within these pages, told by survivors just like you, to help with ‘Surviving the End’.

Dark Prints Press presents its first dark crime anthology:
Too often our crime-solving heroes do just that – solve crimes. But what about the ones who get away – the grifters who con and don’t get caught, the criminals who play cat-and-mouse games with the law only to disappear into the unknown? What goes through their minds, or the minds of their victims and pursuers? What legends do they leave behind, both inspirational and terrifying?

by Andrew J McKiernan
