Thoroughly enjoyed watching this one last night, a souvenir from Argento's store of the same name. And pleasantly surprised to find my Italian's now good enough to watch without subtitles.

We love seeing our books appear in other countries! Here are some recent ones: Ken Greenhall's ELIZABETH (Portugal), Naomi A. Hintze's YOU'LL LIKE MY MOTHER & Robert Marasco's BURNT OFFERINGS (Spain), and Roy Fuller's FANTASY AND FUGUE (Italy). All, of course, still available in English on our site!

Great to see that folks are enjoying Attila Veres's new book as much as we did! We fully expect some of these stories to appear in Year's Best volumes and on shortlists for award consideration. Don't miss out: grab a copy on our website! www.valancourtbooks.com/thisll-make-...

Our fifth release by the great Lisa Tuttle is now up for preorder! LOST FUTURES (1992), originally part of the cutting-edge Dell Abyss line, is the story of a woman who suddenly finds herself living several lives simultaneously in different realities. www.valancourtbooks.com/lost-futures...

Rue Morgue Magazine has a glowing review of Attila Veres's new THIS'LL MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER: "The book contains six tales ... and most should be serious contenders for awards this year ... You will laugh, cry, shiver, and beg for mercy. No mercy will be bestowed. This is first-rate horror!"

Very sad news! We just learned that Valancourt author Thomas Tessier (RAPTURE, FINISHING TOUCHES, and THE NIGHTWALKER) passed away recently. We were honored to be able to republish those three classics of horror recently and are saddened to hear of his passing. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

We've been keeping this one under wraps, but looks like the cat's out of the bag. Elizabeth Engstrom's '80s horror classic WHEN DARKNESS LOVES US is coming to the big screen next year! deadline.com/2026/04/emil...

New review of Attila Veres’ THIS’LL MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER over at Bloody Disgusting, check it out!

Attila Veres' new collection, published by @valancourtbooks.bsky.social is unsettling and highly original. Haunts you and crawls under your skin.

New at @bloody-disgusting.com, I reviewed Attila Veres' new collection THIS'LL MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER, featuring one of the single most upsetting stories I've read in a long while. The others are great too! Out now from @valancourtbooks.bsky.social!

Elaborate death scenes galore. Southern Gothic with a vicious edge. Richly atmospheric, elegantly written, fiendishly gory. Gross-out horror of the most entertaining sort. @valancourtbooks.bsky.social have pulled out a very gruesome plum. My review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/05/gloa...

If you haven't already got your copy, Attila Veres's stunning new collection, THIS'LL MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER, goes on sale officially worldwide on Tuesday. The ebook is up for sale on Amazon now, and the paperback is on our website and all worldwide Amazon sites. Don't miss this collection!

Attila Veres' The Black Maybe was one of the best modern cosmic horror short story collections I've ever read (and I do cosmic horror for a living). Pretty much an auto buy 👇👇👇

Found this four-volume 1801 Gothic on ebay at a bargain price. Today the books arrived and I found out why they were a bargain: someone had ripped 75 pages out of the middle of volume one. 😞 I feel like one of Dante's circles of hell should have been reserved for the defilers of books....

#SFinTranslation coming up in 4 days: Hungarian #horror by Attila Veres, tr by the author, from the excellent @valancourtbooks.bsky.social ! www.valancourtbooks.com/thisll-make-...

We have a couple of $2.99 Kindle deals going now for books that you probably missed the first time around. F.L. Green's ODD MAN OUT, basis for the classic 1947 film, is a terrific thriller, while Stephen Walton's NO TRANSFER is a deeply weird '60s horror novel set at an ultramodern university.

I saw there was something about women in horror trending, don't know why, but in that context I was reminded of this book. A cult favorite for a long time, when I finally got to it, I could see its reputation was deserved. Weird and fascinating. Only book we got from Samson, who died too young.

Super stoked to check out this new Paperbacks from Hell reprint from @valancourtbooks.bsky.social. I’ve been wanting to read it for years (the ANIMALS ATTACK! genre is a favorite), and it was rare to see even a cost-prohibitive copy available anywhere.

I ❤️ Valancourt

A Louvre guard is suddenly unsettled by the arrival of Linda Blair.

Juvenile angst focussed through the prism of the ‘Jamesian’ ghost story. Another class act from @valancourtbooks.bsky.social. YA star brings adult complexity to a classic tale of rural terror. A folk horror parable from the Age of Aquarius. Full review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/07/sun-...

How about a $2.99 Kindle deal? This month, grab Stephen Walton's '60s horror tale NO TRANSFER at a bargain price, a story of strange goings-on at an even stranger elite university. On sale on Kindle worldwide thru 3/31! www.amazon.com/No-Transfer-...

The worst kind of evil is the one you never see coming. A nightmarish satire of hometown terror. Replace every traditional value and you’ve truly got Hell in the country. Another horror classic of yesterday from @valancourtbooks.bsky.social. My review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/06/dark...

The Black Maybe by Attila Veres Quite brilliant. A top tier weird/liminal fiction collection that deserves wider reading Veres sits alongside Anders Fager and Stefan Grabiński in @valancourtbooks.bsky.social catalogue of great short story writers #weirdfiction #wyrdwednesday #SFinTranslation 🩸📚💙

Later, when one of the monsters cranked up the volume, the party really got going.

Weird nuns, explicit sex, an eerie tower in overgrown woodland. A neat reissue of Bernard Taylor’s classic tale of the occult, 1970s style, courtesy of @valancourtbooks.bsky.social. Ideal snapshot of an old school horror writer in peak form. Full review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/08/orde...

A rabbi’s son is murdered by a street gang, only for the killers themselves to be murdered afterwards by a hulking, superstrong assailant. Could it be the mythical golem? Crammed with engrossing cabalistic detail and rising to moments of high nightmare. Quality repub by @valancourtbooks.bsky.social

Up for preorder, a new reprint of Hilda Lewis's THE WITCH AND THE PRIEST (1956), which Dennis Wheatley called "one of the best novels I have ever read about witchcraft." Not available in UK/Commonwealth due to rights restrictions. www.valancourtbooks.com/the-witch-an...
