Original Horror

Firestorm Books

A virtual event to celebrate the release of "Death in the Mouth: Original Horror from People of Color."

In this anthology, Sloane Leong and Cassie Hart bring you an incredible range of stories and illustrations that celebrate the voices of those overlooked to show you the terrifying and exquisite scope of what horror can be. Death in the Mouth is a collection of horror stories and art showcasing BIPOC storytellers from around the world. You’ll read stories featuring grotesque manifestations of dread, the enveloping sludge of grief, and the insectoid itch of deep-seated fear. Embodiments of mania and displacements of faith. Harrowing ecstasy and debilitating hope. Transgressions of the body, the spirit, and the community. Unique and terrifying alien mythology from the future. Quiet, creeping absurdities. Weird urban legends from secondary worlds. Sloane Leong is a cartoonist, illustrator, writer, and editor of mixed indigenous ancestries.
