Literary horror. Slow dread. Human monsters.


Edge & Busby is an independent press publishing horror that takes its characters as seriously as its scares. We publish fiction where the dread comes from people: what they want, what they hide, what scares them, and what they're capable of when no one is watching.

Tinsel

An Anthology of Holiday Horror

It catches the light. It catches everything.

Trees hang the hikers, a jealous husband turns into the chicken his wife loves, and a cat steals tinsel off the tree to keep the monster under the fridge fed.

Twenty-four flash stories. One cheap, unkillable decoration. Merry Christmas.
