Upcoming book release: BEDFELLOW
It broke into their home and set up residence in their minds…
Check out the disturbing cover for Jeremy C. Shipp’s Bedfellow, a bold and original tale of horror that will stick with you long after it’s over.
Bedfellow is available November 13th from Tor.com Publishing. From the catalog copy:
When the… thing first insinuated itself into the Lund family household, they were bemused. Vaguely human-shaped, its constantly-changing cravings seemed disturbing, at first, but time and pressure have a way of normalizing the extreme. Wasn’t it always part of their lives?
As the family make more and greater sacrifices in service to the beast, the thrall that binds them begins to break down. Choices must be made. Prices must be paid. And the Lunds must pit their wits against a creature determined to never let them go.
It’s psychological warfare. Sanity is optional.

The Atrocities is out today!
The summoning spells finally worked, and my gothic novel THE ATROCITIES is out today!
You can order the book on Amazon, or wherever books are sold. You can also ask a demonic hedgehog to recite the entire tale into your ear while you sleep.
Thanks in advance to everyone who reads the book. You are the reason why I share my stories.
And here are a few blurbs, to whet your most macabre of appetites:
“If I had to narrow down The Atrocities to just a few words, I would choose: surreal, beautiful and grotesque…. It’s got the dread of Shirley Jackson mixed with the funhouse terror of Hieronymus Bosch.” — Outlaw Poet
“Any fans of haunted houses or strange families will thoroughly enjoy reading this short novel.” — Booklist
If Agatha Christie had fallen through a Lovecraftian Portal, and then penned a locked room mystery, with illustrations by William Blake, the result might resemble the vast estate, ‘The Atrocities,’ and its family, in this stunning Gothic panorama.” — Mallory Heart
“A haunting, grotesquely beautiful, atmospheric work of Gothic horror, The Atrocities didn’t play out quite as I expected, but it’s those final twists that elevated it from memorable to unforgettable.” — Bob Milne, Beauty in Ruins
New review at Shotgun Logic
Check it out, peeps. Shotgun Logic has posted a lovely new review of my horror release IN THE FISHBOWL, WE BLEED.
“When it comes to groundbreaking fiction Jeremy isn’t just marching to the beat of his own drum, he’s dancing frantically to the groove of a band of mariachi clowns.”
