Encyclopocalypse Publications Releasing Horror Novel Lineup Including Mick Garris Book ‘These Evil Things We Do’

Founded by Saturn and Rondo Award-winning writer/producer Mark Alan Miller (Nightbreed: The Director’s Cut, BOOM! Studios’ Hellraiser comics), Encyclopocalypse Publications is set to publish the award-winning novels Our Lady of the Inferno and Headcheese, along with Mick Garris’ These Evil Things We Do, the sci-fi horror epic The Megarothke, and Michael J. Seidlinger’s My Pet Serial Killer, Bloody Disgusting has learned.

Set against the backdrop of 1980s Times Square, Preston Fassel’s Our Lady of the Inferno tells the intersecting stories of two deadly women: Ginny Kurva, a brilliant but troubled prostitute caring for her younger sister; and Nicolette Aster, a safety inspector at the Staten Island landfill who moonlights as a serial killer. The book won the 2019 Independent Publisher’s Gold Medal for Horror and was named one of the ten best books of 2018 by Bloody Disgusting.

Jess Hagemann’s Headcheese is an epistolatory novel set in the world of amputee fetishism, following a wide array of disparate characters who fall under the sway of Captain Hook, a benevolent cult leader who establishes a new underground religion dedicated to self-amputation; the book won the 2019 Independent Publisher’s Bronze Medal for Horror.

These Evil Things We Do is a collection of Garris’ novellas, plus a new work entitled Free. Each Twilight Zone-style story functions as a morality tale focusing on the capacity for human evil, often with a supernatural twist, and includes such fables as an unsatisfied housewife whose impromptu vacation has unexpectedly tragic consequences and a game of mental chess between an unfaithful teacher at an English boarding school and one of his charges, a deluded child savant.

Brad Ashcroft’s The Megarothke is a post-apocalyptic horror saga set in a world where humanity has inadvertently orchestrated its own demise at the hands of the titular cybernetic entity, and a last-ditch suicide mission into the recesses of the Earth to reclaim society from it.

The Dexter-inspired My Pet Serial Killer follows the misadventures of Claire, a deranged grad student who finds, confronts, and psychologically manipulates serial killers into becoming her human “pets,” forcing them to do her bidding.

These books are now available for preorder on Amazon and via Barnes and Noble and will be released in paperback and ebook on March 22nd.
