Dark Moon Books

Dark Moon Books is the newest imprint from Stony Meadow Publishing. Our plans are to publish a minimum of two books per year. The genre is horror. That's right. We need more scary stuff to keep us up late at night! Subject matter will include everything from vampires and zombies to werewolves and witchcraft.

Our first two scheduled books will be from Stan Swanson and should be available later this year. We are now accepting submissions. Please check our submission guidelines or simply contact us for more information.

We also invite authors to participate in our first zombie short story contest. You can find information on the contest (including deadlines) and how it all works here.

Forever Zombie: A Collection of Undead Guy Tales

Scheduled for release this fall will be this collection of zombie short stories from Stan Swanson. Not your typical blood and gore zombie tales, even non-zombie fams should enjoy these stories. With twelve tales with lots of tongue-in-cheek humor, you won't want to miss this one. You can check out one of the short stories, Every Breath You Take with a simple click of the mouse. (Interested zombies may need someone to read the story aloud to them...)

"Forever Zombie caught me by surprise. There is a sinister humor here reminiscent of Edward Gorey, and a playfulness that echoes Roald Dahl. It's a curious mix, but it works great. Trust me: whichever way your pleasure tends, whether it's a subtly placed bit of characterization or a deliciously plotted twist ending, you're going to find something to love here. Forever Zombie is a hit!"
--Joe McKinney, Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead

The Chronicles of Max Blood - Zombie Hunter

This one is scheduled for a winter 2009 release. And if you enjoyed Stan's writing style in his collection of short stories, you will thoroughly enjoy this one as well. Join Max Blood and his gang of sidekicks as they set out trying to do their share in ridding New York City of zombies. The Chronicles of Max Blood - Zombie Hunter. Right here, right now!

The Dark Moon Anthology:

A Collection of Zombie Short Stories
