You drink craft beer and wear handmade clothing, so why settle for mass-produced books? All of our books are 100% certified artisanal. In fact, our books are written by expert wordsmiths in batches of as little as one at a time. Think about that when you buy a book from us - consider that one person, with his or her own hands, spent a long time handcrafting that book you'll soon be enjoying, and that it was made just for you.

Our books are more than just ink on paper - they're experiences. Every word of every book is specially handpicked for its nuance and meaning. Those words are placed into their corresponding sentences with as much precision and craftsmanship as you'd find in a Swiss watch.

Now look at their covers. There's an old saying: "You can't judge a book by its cover." Our titles turn that saying on its head. If the covers of our books are any measure, then our books are pretty darn good. Indeed, they are.

Ours are books you'll love keep, read, and re-read - that's what they're meant for, and that's why we make them. Don't be surprised if, years down the road, you take one of our titles from your bookshelf and you feel like you're visiting an old friend. Great feeling, isn't it? That's what drives our passion for everything we do.

Insist on quality. Insist on Darkwater Syndicate.

Happy Monday! We hope you've had a good weekend. As for us, we've been super busy these past few days. We're hard at work prepping the sequel to our award-winning horror anthology, Shadows And Teeth.

In case you haven't been following our blog, the inaugural volume of Shadows And Teeth has earned high praise and critical acclaim despite only having been published a little under four months ago (April 30th, 2016). What makes the series unique is that readers get to see what cultures all over the world consider frightening. The runaway success of our horror anthology is why, we think, so many great writers want to participate on the sequel. Indeed, we've been getting submissions from so many talented horror writers, that we can barely keep up. But this is a good thing, as it allows us to pick from the cream of the crop to ensure you get the very best in horror. We love it too, because we get to read a lot of great stories!

Volume two is shaping up to be a real doozy of a horror anthology. As before, the book will present a cast of international authors. It'll have everything its predecessor had, and then some: more scares, more horror, more suspense, more of the stuff that keeps you up at night.

But be forewarned, this isn't for the faint of heart. Shadows And Teeth has been known to cause anxiety, jitters, and sleeplessness. If you're up to the challenge, we recommend you bring a night light and plenty of batteries.

What's more, this isn't a shotgun approach to horror: we don't believe in packing the book cover-to-cover with a bunch of bite-sized horror morsels. You'll get ten hand-picked novella-length stories, each giving you something substantial to slake your horror appetite.

Keep your eyes peeled for volume two of Shadows And Teeth in early 2017. Until then, take care as you reach into these dark places, for the things here bite, and you may withdraw a hand short of a few fingers.
