Nefarious Bat Press

Thanks, Eryn. Music to my ears this evening :)

Honoured to be reading out the prologue to Phengaris for this event at the weekend, amid this stellar bunch.

Cover of TC Parker's The Nine O'Clock Horses & Other Stories, showing a black horse's eye and muzzle in closeup against a dark background

The Nine O'Clock Horses has been out on ebook for a couple of weeks - and is now available in paperback too!

So: can I tempt you to a collection of Magnus Archives-ish horror shorts?

Feat. urban legends, autophagia, folk horror parodies, transflormation... & more!

A white person's hand - Shauna's, in fact - holding up a copy of TC Parker's A Press of Feathers against a grey bedspread that, now I look at it, seems oddly reminiscent of some of the ones you used to see everywhere in teen boys' bedrooms in the 80s... Book cover itself is deep red, and shows 4 images in a frame: a Natural History Museum-esque illustration of an oversized bird; an illustrated cross section of a human head and neck, minus skin (with tendons etc showing); a daguerreotype of a woman in Victorian-style dress and hat; and a giant, bestial hand that seems to break the frame and reach for you through the cover

Relaunched Feathers paperbacks have landed in the Batcave... and they're glorious!

Ooooh. Nicely done. Check it out.

She's a beaut! Drew creating their own wonderful cover for this one. We are so excited to get it out into the world next October!

Cover reveal image of Drew Huff's THE EXODONTISTS - a book cover on a graded green background Cover shows a sketch of 4 tall, translucent humanoids with long, spindly limbs and glowing gold eyes holding pliers and reads: "The Exodontists: A Horror Novel" Background text reads: "Coming October 2026 from Nefarious Bat Press"

📣 COVER REVEAL! 📣

We're very, very happy to reveal the cover for @drewhuff.bsky.social's THE EXODONTISTS - out Halloween '26!

Not quite so prestigious, but I hear we're the favourite to take this year's inaugural UEFA Small Press Award

(We thought TC being British meant we were out of the running, but thankfully Shauna's Irishness saw us through)

I read Phenagris by @anna-orridge.bsky.social last night. A delightful slice of horror wrapped up in a novella. Took me no time time devour. It pulls no punches, drawing in some truly difficult themes.

Highly recommend!

Aw.
So grateful for this recommendation.

Blurb for A Press of Feathers from Ross Jeffery, reading: "WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MIX DAVID CRONENBERG, CLIVE BARKER AND ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S THE BIRDS... A STUNNING READ" - Ross Jeffery, author of Juniper and Only The Stains Remain

We're both really proud of this one - and are delighted to have a chance to lavish a bit of attention on it

So, if Clive Barker meets The Birds in a haunted house is your cup of tea (per Ross Jeffery!) - we'd love you to give it a read :)

Enter: designer extraordinaire @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social, whose updated cover really brings out the Silence of the Lambs x The Shining x The Yellow Wallpaper vibe of the story

(We love Kealan)

Feathers came out back in 2021 - but, like so many indie releases, it slipped a bit between the cracks

We think it deserves a second go :)

New cover for TC Parker's A Press of Feathers Cover has a maroon background, with 4 framed central images Clockwise from top left: - Victorian-era portrait of a giant bird - medical illustration of a human head, side-on, skinless with muscle etc visible - Victoria-era white (likely English) woman posing for daguerreotype - a clawed human hand, covered in dirt, breaking the frame to reach out towards the audience

FEATHERS has had a makeover... and we couldn't be happier!

(A quick 🧵)

Seasonal Batcave bargains end tonight! Get 'em while you can 🦇📚💙 ⬇️

I could not be more excited for this “grief-stricken Prometheus” to hit your shelves.

@claymcleod.bsky.social says it "destroys you from the get-go, then has the audacity to resuscitate you with a simple flip of the page [...] decimating and resurrecting readers, chapter after chapter, with an ache that just keeps us coming back for more"

And we're pretty fond of it too :)

It's "mesmerizing, with a quiet but profound sense of dread” (says @rachelharrison.bsky.social);

"a gripping, yet somber apocalyptic novel filled with the occult, the roaming dead, and disparate relationships mended and strained" (says @aijiang.bsky.social)

this is one of my favourite reads of the year (i was a touch late to the party), if not the number one. read it, it'll make you cooler, more attractive, all that jazz*.

* actually guaranteed

A screenshot from Libro.FM showing All the Hearts You Eat by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, narrated by various narrators, is half off. It has vampires and is set by the sea, as demonstrated by the oceanic colors and the fanged creature rising from the waves

LibroFM has a bunch of books discounted, BUT ALSO linking your account to an indie bookstore (either local or a long-distance relationshop) sends some of the sale their way instead of Bezzy Boy 🖤

also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀

I heartily endorse this blurb ;-)

(It's a great fucking book.)

Thank you so much!

Thank you! We're a queer press, have a whole load of queer books on sale/discounted this week ⬇️ - and can confirm, we abhor AI :)

Thank you :)
