| For Immediate Release Miami Lakes, FL – Shadows And Teeth, published by Darkwater Syndicate, will be the first volume in an annual horror anthology showcasing original stories by some of the best writers in the genre. The book is a collection of ten terrifying tales from an international team of authors as varied as the stories themselves – an executive producer from Los Angeles, California, two authors from the U.K., the “Queen of Croatian Horror,” and two talented student authors from Msgr. Pace High School, just to name a few. Headquartered in Miami Lakes, the award-winning publishing house believes in the power of a good story. In the short time since its inception, Darkwater Syndicate has earned several awards coast-to-coast, including the prestigious Royal Palm Literary Award (2014 and 2015) and the Pacific Book Award (2015). The company focuses on unique literary experiences. The new book, which launches on April 30th, is the publisher’s first collaborative effort of this magnitude. |  |
