The Coachman by Samuel Clark

A classic Victorian era ghost story, The Coachman sees Christian Harper, a depressed antiquarian dealing with the loss of his job and fiancé. He is given a second chance, to catalogue the library of a mansion house in the countryside, near the village of Redhills, with enough financial and societal reward to end his worries.
And all the time watched by the family's personal coachman, who never talks, never gives up stalking his prey. He wanders Redhills like its jailer. It is said he can give you what your heart most desires, but at what price?
Lincolnshire author Samuel Clark's other works include “La Feé Verte (The Green Fairy)” (2016, Tenebrise Books) , The Dragoness of Lime House, and The Legend of Spring Heeled Jack.
Sea Terrors by Jon Arnold, Jo M. Thomas and Michael S. Collins
Jo M. Thomas provides a future diary that foretells of a family tragedy which hasn't happened yet. Michael S. Collins gives us a killer dead fisherman wrecking havoc on a pleasure cruise down the River Clyde. Jon Arnold solves the Brexit issue by going all Dario Argento. Other Side Books prevents a tribute to the old Hammer Horror portmanteau films.
Euro 2016 by Jon Arnold
A Welshman recounts the glorious summer of 2016 (well, for Welsh football fans at least) when his national side bucked the odds and made it to the Semifinals of the European Championships. Along the way, a little thing called the Brexit vote happened and you can see, in real time, how the political and sporting winds seemed interwined even as they tried to distance themselves from each other.
Jon Arnold was the co-editor of Shooty Dog Thing: 2th and Claw. His work has appeared in books including Shooty Dog Thing, both Outside In volumes, Time Unincorporated 3, the You and Who series, Shelf Life, The Twelve Doctors of Christmas, Terrors of the Theatre Diabolique as well as in innumerable fanzines and on websites such as The Two Unfortunates and Winterwind Productions. He’s also an occasional contributor to the Reality Bomb podcast. I think he might be a Doctor Who fan, but he rarely mentions this. Current projects include his proofreading business and collaborating on radio scripts. Jon previously wrote a book on Euro 2016 for Other Side Books, and contributed to The Second Christmas Book of Ghosts.
FML Weekly by Justin Jessel
Low on self-confidence? Need to find the inner you? Fed up of Glengarry Glen Ross?
Well, worry not, but this is the book for you.
Week by week of the year, American self-help guru Jessel leads you to becoming the better you. Learn how to understand the inner self in this world of turmoil.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a satirical book which lampoons the loud, frequent market which is the Self Help handbook. Indeed, I would go on record that the advice in FML Weekly, some of which will kill you, is still less damaging than that in far too many actual Self Help "therapy" books. And Jessel's book at least has talking head advice from a Velociraptor.
INTERESTING ASIDE: FML Weekly was at one point an Amazon best seller, selling more than some of the books it was spoofing.

"There they were. Footsteps coming up behind him. Light footstep. Children perhaps, but why would children be out on a night like this? Laughing children. Glanced around in every angle. No tell tale shadows. Just the sound. Of threatening feet. Chasing feet. Running footsteps. He was in no doubt though. Children. Many children. Running. Running after him! Light and fast. Gaining on him. His heart pounded. He tasted fear. Knots in the stomach. A cold sweat. Breathing issues. He turned and ran. He wasn’t sure what he was running from. He ran as fast as he could. As if, his life depended on it. From every angle, he heard the footsteps chasing after him.
Henry ran. Between streets he’d know well in better light and weather. Didn’t know where he was. Still he could hear the footsteps. Directly behind him. In front of him. All around. "
A Dark Neon Dying by Jon Kaneko-James
A far future where science and the occult have grown together.
A rainsoaked, lightless planet at the edge of the solar system.
An ancient inhuman evil.
New Paris is the jewel in the crown of the Galacta Corporation: recreating historic cities on the terraformed moon of Europa.
Their chief attraction is the Performance Artists: glamorous adventurers who exploit the constitution to make the illegal legal.
Renard and Ducoult were the stars of the scene. Now Renard has returned from retirement, financially desperate and fatigued with his former life.
Ducoult is a broken woman. Disfigured at the finale of her and Renard's greatest caper, and paralyzed by trauma, she hides in the City's poorest district with her clockwork family.
But the world hasn't finished with them yet. A final job. A good deed for the wrong reasons. Something terrible flitting at the edge of human consciousness. Renard and Ducoult will be drawn together in a fight that will either save New Paris, or unleash a horror on uncountable worlds.
Jon Kaneko-James is an Early Modern Historian who studies the social history of the Supernatural. He has read Tarot cards for a living, worked in Soho nightclubs and met his wife on his last night as a (terrible) DJ. When not writing, he currently works at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
Gran Friendly Tales by Michael S. Collins
My gran, a vociferous reader but someone who hates horror, once asked me why I never sold any books that were more Gran Friendly. Here, in honour of her 85th birthday in 2022, we produced Gran Friendly Tales, which is a collection of short stories safe enough for any gran to read. Or any honorary gran.
