DIABLO: TALES FROM THE HORADRIC LIBRARY: “A COllar of thorns”

NOVEMBER 2022 | BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT

Horror’s favorite authors throw open the doors to the Horadric Library, inviting Diablo fans a glimpse into the terrors that lurk beneath the world of Sanctuary. . . . 

While the Eternal Conflict rages forever onward, horror and superstition of a purely Sanctuary variety still prey on the hearts of the people. In a time long since forgotten, the Horadric Order was tasked with recording local legends, cautionary tales, and stories of the most twisted horror, in the hope that some innocents might be saved by their knowledge. Now, the vaults are open. 

Direct from the Diablo development team and horror’s preeminent minds comes Tales from the Horadric Library, a short story collection exploring the darkest corners of Sanctuary, and the evils that dwell there. This beautiful deluxe book has original artwork and metallic ink on its illuminated pages.

OUR SHADOWS HAVE CLAWS: “THE HOUR OF THE WOLF”

SEPTEMBER 2021 | ALGONQUIN

From zombies to cannibals to death incarnate, this cross-genre anthology offers something for every monster lover. In Our Shadows Have Claws, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are stolen from their beds by “el viejo de la bolsa” while a military dictatorship steals their parents; and anyone you love, absolutely anyone, might be a shapeshifter waiting to hunt.
 
The worlds of these stories are dark but also magical ones, where a ghost-witch can make your cheating boyfriend pay, bullies are brought to their knees by vicious wolf-gods, a jar of fireflies can protect you from the reality-warping magic of a bruja—and maybe you’ll even live long enough to tell the tale. Set across Latin America and its diaspora, this collection offers bold, imaginative stories of oppression, grief, sisterhood, first love, and empowerment.
 
Full contributor list: Chantel Acevedo, Courtney Alameda, Julia Alvarez, Ann Dávila Cardinal, M. García Peña, Racquel Marie, Gabriela Martins, Yamile Saied Méndez, Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, Claribel A. Ortega, Amparo Ortiz, Lilliam Rivera, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Ari Tison, and Alexandra Villasante.
