CALLING ALL CREATURES OF THE DARK
ARC Readers & Reviewers Wanted for No Safewords in the Wasteland!
Are you tired of sanitized stories and polite little nightmares? Good. Because Obsidian Skull Press is about to drag you face-first into the chaotic abyss. Edited by the macabre visionary TL Hutton and the pulse of atmospheric dread himself, Devon Kutchlen, our upcoming anthology No Safewords in the Wasteland is a visceral, unapologetic journey through speculative fiction, dark fantasy, and horror designed to violently shake you from complacency.
💀Tim McDonald’s brutal urban jungles where systemic cruelty and border enforcement bleed together (Strays).
💀 Cassandra Knightshade’s suffocating depths of psychological gaslighting and isolation (Jaded Box).
💀 Cody Creiger’s unflinching, stomach-churning body horror exposing historical depravity (Unbind Thy Tongue).
💀 Rob McLaughlin’s dark arts of witchcraft forged in the desperate need for justice (Our Lady of Holy Death).
💀 And the twisted genius of TL Hutton, exploring the perilous flight of innocence (Down Beside the Rails), the bigoted roots tearing through communities (Blood & Rainbows), and the dizzying highs of warped spiritual delusion (The Other Side of God).
There are no safe spaces in the ruins of the modern world, and there are certainly no safewords in the wasteland.
Remember: confronting the darkness isn’t just about finding something to fear. It’s about remembering how to fight back.
We’ve let loose a fearless collective of literary alchemists to sift through the decay of our cultural foundations. Inside these pages, you’ll brave:
The ashes don’t negotiate. And neither do we.
We are currently looking for fearless ARC readers, book bloggers, and horror reviewers brave enough to step into the ruins before the book drops. If you have the stomach to unearth unsettling truths about corporate exploitation, border cruelty, historical trauma, and profound isolation—and the drive to shout about it from the rooftops—we want you on our review team.
