We spoke with her about her storytelling and illustrating process, the memories from her time spent in Scotland, and where her 2024 and beyond may be heading. ---------------...

A good ghost story never goes amiss around Christmas time, you can be sure of that.

We spoke with him about how his book fits into a larger series, how his childhood inspired his writing, books that have had a profound ef...

November has been and gone, which means that we made some fantastic additions to our roster here at Pegasus.

Check out Lance's book here. 1). Lance, you’ve written a book that stands alone amidst our catalogue- we don’t have too many (or any at all) novels on our roster that blend thriller with a marine creature feature, and certainly no...

'tis the season to be jolly indeed, but 'tis also the season when we could really do with taking a leaf out of nature's book and hibernating to stave off the mental stress ofliving in the dark and cold. Reading can really be a shining light in times like this, and today, as we sit huddled in blankets, we'd like to share with you exactly why. Foremostly, people read for the purpose of escapism. We know we certainly do. Fantasy and science-fiction books allow you to delve int...

In the last of our horror author interviews, we spoke with 'Night of the Octopoids' author David Elliott, who has crafted a short, sweet and gory tale that conjures up the spirits of the pulp horror fiction of yesteryear. We spoke about how he first became drawn to the genre, fear of the unknown, and classic horror paperback recommendations. You can get David's book here. 1). Your novella is a true love letter to the horror tales of yesteryear, everything fro...

That being said, horror is a universally beloved genre despite the impassioned a...
