Dreadful Tales

George B. Huxley is a pulp writer whose work prowls the darker alleys of horror, noir, war fiction, subversive critique and occult history.

Dreadful Tales is an independent imprint devoted to ghost stories, uncanny folklore, and works of dark and psychological horror. Drawing from Western traditions, kaidan, and modern tales of disquiet, we publish stories that range from the quietly haunted to the deeply disturbing.

Our catalogue favours atmosphere and unease, but does not shy away from cruelty, obsession, or the darker mechanisms of the human mind. These are tales of apparitions and curses, but also of dread without ghosts—where fear arises from memory, guilt, confinement, and things best left unnamed.

Some linger. Others wound. All are meant to remain.
