The Crawling Moon
Queer Tales of Inescapable Dread
The Crawling Moon: Queer Tales of Inescapable Dread is an anthology of gothic depravity, horror & perversion. It contains queer horrors both psychological and supernatural, gory and cerebral.
And more importantly, we're hoping it will scandalize you. It features a cover by Cronan Kobylak, interior illustrations by Matthew Spencer, and a story game by Maxwell Lander. If we’re lucky, it will also contain some unnerving interior design work by Jordan Shiveley.
