Description: THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOTHTwenty-five women and non-binary writers from the worlds of Horror Fiction and Illustration drag the blackened heart of Classic Gothic Horror out into the open, sculpting a sleeker, fiercer beast and recasting the legacy of our original Gothmothers in a chilling contemporary light.Within the walls of an arcane modern art gallery...into the blackest burrows of the animal kingdom...tableside at the world's last restaurant on the eve of the apocalypse...from the deep American South to the depths of a hostile sea, a cornucopia of nightmares awaits.In Somnio features eighteen vibrant, unique stories; each brings a new perspective to our inherent love of Gothic Horror and what those vital elements of terror still have to tell us today.

"If this is the start of what Tenebrous Press has to offer, I can't wait to see what they come out with in the future. Breathtakingly beautiful...unlike anything I've read before. [Editor] Alex Woodroe has hit the ball out of the park with this collection." - Holley Cornetto, HorrorTree
"Gothic Horror remains one of the most difficult yet rewarding genres to explore. Tenebrous Press' In Somnio is a delightfully unsettling surprise, [featuring] modern voices bringing the brightest light to one of literature's darkest genres...a worthwhile collection certain to have something for any Gothic Horror lover." - Katelyn Nelson, Killer Book Club
"In Somnio [is rife with] atmosphere. I could feel the humidity...the sensation of being surrounded by forests...I could smell the musty dirt and sea salt...all the while keeping a close look over my shoulder-just in case. This is a book you can immerse yourself in." - Robin Knabel, Unsettling Reads
