Shroud Magazine publishes speculative fiction with a dark orientation. In addition, Shroud features original art, film, music reviews, and articles that illuminate the thin veil between reality and fantasy.
It is our goal to introduce the wonder and thrill of speculative fiction to a much wider audience. To that end, we have enlisted some of the top names in dark fiction to fill our pages. Our fist issue alone featured rare and original work from Michael Laimo, Tom Piccirilli, Stephen Mark Rainey, and Tim Waggoner. In addition, our inaugural issue also included an insightful interview with horror master and award-winner Brian Keene. But that’s not all, we have received 100s of submissions from talented lesser known writers and artists and we are confident that Shroud will play an integral role in the development and discovery of new powerful voices within the genre.
Shroud believes that the audience for well-crafted fiction is growing substantially, and with it, the need for additional ways to quench the growing thirst for horror literature.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

“While some may find scholar S.T. Joshi's claim in his introduction that Pulver “can take his place with that of the masters of our genre” (including Poe and Lovecraft) a trifle hyperbolic, all will agree that Pulver is a writer to watch. (Dec.)” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Whatever your expectations may be, check them at the door. Pulver has a truly unique style for the horror genre, and this collection of short stories is a perfect vehicle for this sort of style . . . Pulver is an original.” - Rick Kleffel’s The Agony Column
THE UNTAMED is available for order from your local comic shop. Find us on Diamond Previews on pages 285 and 286. But don't take our word for it, take Clive Barker's:
Thanks for wanting to be my friend! Feel free to say hey anytime. I'm running a contest right on my blog-- go read the first chapter of my next horror novel and post a comment, and you may win a free book! It's a great way to see if you like my work! You can read it here, or www.longcrazyroad.blogspot.com.
Thanks! Seriously- keep in touch! I'm not a fan of friend armies. I love to get to know fellow artists, authors, readers, anybody!
"Some writers one admirers and others make one want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I'm grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a creature." - Thomas Ligotti
