Split Scream Volume Two E-BOOK

SPLIT SCREAM has a new home at Tenebrous Press! The second volume of editor Alex Ebenstein's acclaimed series is back in print, featuring two novelettes:

The Shivering World – Cynthia Gómez

Nayeli's brilliance should be enough to outshine the darkness she longs to leave behind, but she fears she'll never get further than what her unstable mother can provide: a sofa bed in a garage. She's determined to transfer to a good college and get out, but the men in her life-a violent neighbor, a greedy landlord, her mother's predatory boyfriend-stand in her way. Only once she encounters the supernatural, a being she suspects to be La Llorona herself, does Nayeli begin to truly see the power she is capable of. But at what cost? The Shivering World is a Faustian bargain in a place of poverty and gentrification, where supernatural terrors meet the horrors of escaping to a new life.

What Ate the Angels – M. Lopes da Silva

Non-binary ASMR artist November discovers the sound of a giant heartbeat beneath Los Angeles, which only they seem to hear. When their vore-loving partner Heather, a City Hall archivist, grows ill and can't get the healthcare she needs, they believe they will find a solution through the thrum. November journeys underground, through abandoned Prohibition-era tunnels, to the den of a creature born from the fabric of the city itself: oil, bones, chemicals-and souls. What Ate the Angels is queer body horror full of dread and pulpy, throbbing filth.

"The combined stories are a beautifully organic Latinx experience. Delicious and terrifying and takes you to literal depths you won't expect."
