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 currently closed to new submissions. We hope to begin accepting new manuscripts early 2011. Please check our submission guidelines or simply contact us for more information.

We also invite authors to participate in our horror short story contests. Visit HorrorWritingContest.com for more information.

Forever Zombie: A Collection of Undead Guy Tales

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 Death You Take with a simple click of the mouse. (Interested zombies may need someone to read the story aloud to them...) You can also visit the Forever Zombie website. Forever Zombie is also available through Amazon and other online bookstores.

"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

Dark Moon Digest: The Horror Fiction Quarterly

If you don’t own a nightlight, now’s the time to invest in one.

That’s because the first frightening issue of Dark Moon Digest - The Horror Writer’s Quarterly is in the works. Dark Moon Books is proud to present this new and exciting publication geared toward horror fans and authors alike.

Published four times per year, this 100 plus page magazine will be a solid addition to any horror enthusiast’s library. Each issue will contain several short stories (many of them from new and emerging authors) that will tingle your spine and heighten your senses. Issues will also include horror poetry, columns, book reviews, contest information and more. Issue #1 will be available by October 2010.

Dark Moon Digest will be available in e-publication format as well as hard copy. (Cover prices have not been established, but we intend to keep these as low as possible.) We just want to create a new marketplace for horror writers as well as a new venue for horror enthusiasts.

And now, better check to see if you have a nightlight that’s working…
