Hack House by Joe Sacksteder

Ever since they’ve been working on the Losada family’s historic Victorian house, the six members of the Lotus Painting crew have discovered something worse than manual labor. Brooding over minor annoyances, increasingly prone to fits of rage, their days and nights are troubled by strange visions and new appetites. Dieter turns to self-harm, Curtis starts stalking the Losada’s teenage son, Pete becomes obsessed with researching the house’s venomous past, and Mikey—kicked out of his mom’s place— shacks up in the attic of the Hack House.

If they knew about the painters that preceded them on the job, the crew that only lasted a single day—the fire, the self-inflicted burn—then maybe they’d look for work elsewhere. As the crew’s contagion spreads to the four members of the Losada family, they find themselves besieged from within and without, home improvement devolving into home invasion over the course of one blistering Michigan summer.

Gore-Geous by Alexandra West

From the author of Films of the New French Extremity, The 1990 Teen Horror Cycle, and co-host of the Faculty of Horror podcast comes Gore-Geous: Personal Essays on Beauty and Horror—a collection of essays where West seamlessly blends the genres of the personal essay and film criticism, examining gender norms, beauty standards, and cultural expectations. Gore-Geous: Personal Essays on Beauty and Horror is a journey through the overlapping darkness of the beauty world and horror films including Cat People (1942), The Witches (1990), Carrie (1976), Black Swan (2010), Audition (1999), Under the Skin (2013), American Psycho (2000) and Ready or Not (2019) among others.

Leopold’s Labyrinth

Leopold’s Labyrinth puts the reader at the center of a story where they take shape as a recluse residing in the digitally-constructed environments of the future—the cybergothic landscape of the 2020s. It is Sunday evening and they just have begun their pilgrimage into a holy labyrinth, in the hopes that they will come upon new artifacts that radiate a simultaneously corporeal and astral aura. The reader is a miner who mines this place for its meaning. Leopold’s Labyrinth is a funhouse turned video game for readers. They must interact with textual artifacts, deduct meaning, and grapple with the complex human issues turned upside down and inside out. You will perhaps not read a more interactive and fascinating novel this year.
