Release day: The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow

Posted on 2024-08-01 by collection novella the ghostlands of natalie glasgow the possession of natalie glasgow

I said it would be soon, and I meant it: The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow is out in paperback today! Surprise!

Ghostlands returns my 2018 debut novella The Possession of Natalie Glasgow to print alongside 6 all-new connected stories, including a new novelette, following the novella’s characters and making Ghostlands an unusual story collection. Explore the Glasgow family across years and supernatural activity along with Margaret Willow, who seeks both to right the world and to find redemption for her own past.

You can find the paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble now, and hopefully elsewhere soon. An ebook will also be coming in the near future. Full description here:

From the imagination of Stoker-award winner, Hailey Piper, The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow is a new collection of seven interconnected stories surrounding the events of The Possession of Natalie Glasgow.

There’s no getting used to the strange. That’s the philosophy of Margaret Willow, and as a supposed expert in the supernatural, or allegedly a modern witch, she’s seen a strange thing or two, and even lived to tell about it.

But she’s never met an eleven-year-old as dangerous as Natalie Glasgow.

Ever since the death of Natalie’s father, her family has found themselves caught in a series of bizarre experiences of their own. Unexplainable, irrational, and yet all too real. Has a demon latched onto Natalie’s soul? Or are her family’s circumstances bound up in the aftermath of her dead father?

The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow collects the original 2018 Natalie Glasgow novella, The Possession of Natalie Glasgow, along with six all-new interconnected stories following Margaret, Natalie, her family, and their entanglements in their haunted pasts and ghostly futures.

“[Piper’s] fiction is remarkable in its range” – Esquire

“Downright chilling.” – Rachel Harrison, USA Today Bestselling author of Cackle and Black Sheep

“Eerie and thoroughly engrossing.” – K.P. Kulski, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Fairest Flesh

“Truly original.” – Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil’s Dreamland

2024 title reveals: Worm 3, new TPONG

Posted on 2023-09-02 by Announcement collection novella song of the tyrant worm the ghostlands of natalie glasgow the possession of natalie glasgow the worm and his kings

Two pieces of exciting news!

First, the title reveal for the final book in The Worm and His Kings trilogy from Off Limits Press: Song of the Tyrant Worm is coming in spring 2024, concluding the queer cosmic horror trilogy with a mind-bending bang!

Next, my debut novella The Possession of Natalie Glasgow has been out of print for a bit, but it’s at last coming back next summer when Rooster Republic Press (publisher of Queen of Teeth) unleashes my new collection, The Ghostlands of Natalie Glasgow. Check out that beautiful cover art by Nicholas Day!

This is a little different than your usual collection. It includes the original TPONG novella, along with six new interconnected stories (one of them a novelette) involving the characters of TPONG in years-spanning encounters with hauntings, possessions, and the unexplained.

Also exciting, pre-orders are up for the hardcover, which comes in the standard hardcover (can be ordered until April 30th, 2024) and the deluxe edition, of which there will only be 30 copies. There won’t be more of these later, and they’ll ship ahead of the wider paperback and ebook releases in summer 2024. Check it out here!

Upcoming: A Light Most Hateful; TPONG re-release

Posted on 2023-01-07 by a light most hateful novel novella the possession of natalie glasgow

As things move ahead with A Light Most Hateful, I’ve added a page for it including release date and plot details. I’ll add cover art once that’s been revealed, but for now I’m happy to share the release date!

A Light Most Hateful will release on October 10, 2023 from Titan Books! Pre-order in paperback/ebook at Barnes & Noble and Amazon

I’ll share more on that, and other upcoming 2023 releases (Cruel Angels Past Sundown and Even the Worm Will Turn) once they’re public.

And one more piece of news: my first novella The Possession of Natalie Glasgow went out of print last year. I’m delighted to share its new publisher has been announced. Rooster Republic will be re-releasing this tale of possession and witchcraft in 2024, as both a limited edition hardcover and later in paperback. It was a joy to work with them on Queen of Teeth and I couldn’t be happier we’re working together again. The hardcover pre-order should be up late this year, so stay tuned!

A couple of quick things to share!

Excited to see Fangoria reporting on A Light Most Hateful movie rights being picked up! So excited! The book releases in 2023, and I’ll keep things up to date with both novel and movie news to come.

As some might have noticed, my first novella The Possession of Natalie Glasgow is now out of print. It’s been picked up by a publisher who can hopefully be named later this year or early next year. Expect to see a new edition in 2024. In the meantime, it’s only available via the audiobook narrated by Gemma Amor + stray paperbacks in bookstores.

Audiobook of The Possession of Natalie Glasgow; 10 Weird Writers List

Posted on 2020-11-13 by article audiobook novella the possession of natalie glasgow the worm and his kings

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! Let’s get some horror going.

First up, The Possession of Natalie Glasgow is now available in audiobook from Amazon! TPONG is my debut novella, and though I had hoped to release the audiobook in time with the two-year anniversary of TPONG’s original ebook release in October, 2020 had other plans. Still, it’s available now, and narrated by Bram Stoker-nominated author Gemma Amor, whose voice takes hold of TPONG so readily that I can’t look at the book’s text anymore without hearing her voice.

Check it out!

Earlier this week, I was honored to be placed on Silent Motorist Media’s list of Ten Weird Writers to Save Us in 2020. Authors were nominated by readers and chosen by editors and writers. I’m proud to be here, and especially proud that this list is so inclusive.

Lastly, my new queer cosmic horror novella, The Worm and His Kings, releases in just two days! Off Limits Press is now sold out of copies, but it can still be ordered in ebook and paperback from Amazon. It’s been a long time coming, but the Worm is nearly here!

Mega Mid-September Update

Posted on 2019-09-15 by interview novelette novella the possession of natalie glasgow

There’s much to address, but that’s because I’ve neglected the site over a busy week, so I have no one to blame but myself.  One thing at a time!

First, due to popular demand, my debut novella The Possession of Natalie Glasgow is now available in paperback!

Second, I did an interview over at Planet Scumm.  Dinosaurs, robots–it has it all! I’ll soon be adding a page for interviews and articles now that there are a couple of them.

Third, a recommendation. Each year, long-time horror editor Ellen Datlow releases a new entry in her Best Horror of the Year series.  Volume 11 collects her best picks of 2018, but she also has an online recommendations.  One of those stories is “The Man Upstairs,” published in Five on the Fifth back in November 2018.  So check it out; it’s recommended.

Last, Demain Publishing’s Short Sharp Shocks! series is about to get longer.  An Invitation to Darkness joins the ranks on September 27 as a standalone novelette.  It’s available for pre-order on Amazon.
